The "World's Worst Cat" Got A Forever Home And A New Name

Cats are generally seen as unfriendly and mean animals but anyone who has had a cat as a pet knows that this is not true. Cats can be incredibly loving and caring animals. But then again, we have cats who are so completely grumpy it's unbelievable, and a little scary. Perdita is one of these cats.

Perdita was a shelter cat at Mitchell County Animal Rescue in North Carolina, USA. Her personality was so strong she quickly got the label as the "World's Worst Cat". But almost a year after she was put up for adoption, she found her forever home and lives happily with her new family. Or as happily as this grumpy kitty can be.

Meet Perdita.
She was brought to the Mitchell Count Animal Rescue (MCAR) after her previous owner passed away.
The shelter employees believed that she must have been struggling with health issues and experienced trauma in her past, making her an angry cat.
But she wasn't sick. She was just a very mean cat, as this poster claims.
Apart from this poster, the shelter also included a description of Perdita's personality. It starts ominously.
Mitchell County Animal Rescue's director, Amber Lowery, said, “We thought if we highlighted [her personality] in a humorous way, the person with a personality to match hers can adopt.”
Perdita received a lot of attention with the creative adoption posts but she was not at all amused.
But it definitely got her lots of attention and helped her find her forever home.
The shelter's office manager, Brittany Taylor provided further proof of Perdita's meanness: “She pretends like she wants you to pet her and love on her.”
Taylor also said, “As soon as you pick her up, she starts growling. She will swat you. She’s just all-out awful.”
Despite Perdita's cruel personality, the Internet fell in love with her. People even shared how they had cats like Perdita.
But Perdita's got lucky. This wonderful couple beat out the hundreds of applications and adopted Perdita.
Perdita is adjusted well to her new family and new home.
Her new owners gave her a new name: Noel. They said they changed it in case it was the name that was making her so angry.
Like all cats, she is also a big fan of cardboard boxes.
She looks so happy here. Maybe the name change is working?
Perdita/Noel is definitely a very affectionate kitty now. She loves snuggling with her mum and dad.
She also has siblings. This is Bella and these two look very similar, don't they?
Perdita/Noel has an Instagram page too and she has almost 15k followers.
Despite the tough life she had losing her previous owner, Perdita now has a loving family and a new life as Noel.
