Came across this today and thought it just a tad humorous. (CNN)Sometimes honesty is the best policy. Especially when it comes to cats.
The Mitchell County Animal Rescue in North Carolina posted an adoption ad on Facebook that introduced the world to Perdita, the '"World's Worst Cat."
"We thought she was sick," the ad said. "Turns out she's just a jerk."
The transparent tactic has helped get stubborn pets adopted in the past, Mitchell County Animal Rescue Executive Director Amber Lowery told CNN. They hoped it would work for Perdita, too.

I foster for 2 different rescues. One of them is 99% ferals. I take the neonate kittens. We write honest bios and we still get cats returned because they were too friendly, not friendly enough, didn’t like the other cats etc. and their bios state specifically how they are.
I’m glad we have a return policy. Because people just don’t seem to read lol

mamahen, reading tends to be an issue these days and not just with pet adoptions. Kudos to the shelter for being upfront. Far more upfront than the adoption agency my SIL used for her kids. But in that case, a buck was a buck for the agency.

I suspect that I would be very happy with that cat and vice versa, as I prefer independent critters.
