"World's worst cat" up for adoption


On Christmas Eve in North Carolina, an evil shadow took up residence in the Mitchell County Animal Rescue. White and black with piercing green eyes and a disdain for all god’s creatures, this living curse took the form of a cat, described by the shelter as “a jerk” and the “world’s worst” example of her species. Now, a month later, the creature is ready to move into the home of those willing to brave her malignant presence.
Perdita, as the cat is called, is not being talked-up to those who might consider adopting her. Mitchell County Animal Rescue posted her details on Facebook with a description that says she’s “not for the faint of heart.” Her “likes” include “staring into your soul until you feel as if you may never be cheerful again” as well as “jump scares (her specialty), lurking in dark corners,” and “fooling shelter staff into thinking she’s sick (vet agrees … she’s just a jerk).”
“She’s single and ready to be socially awkward with a socially awkward human who understands personal space,” the ad continues before stating, “FREE ADOPTION.” Below this are two photos of Perdita headlined “World’s Worst Cat.” Perdita sits with hooded eyes, biding her time until she’s found a home whose humans are willing to endure her ominous presence.
