Do you want a cat who doesn't want you? Shelter writes brutally honest ad

A shelter has taken a refreshingly candid approach to pet adoption by sharing a brutally honest profile of their longest resident, a cat named Quinn. 

In a Facebook post, The Humane Society of Washington County asked potential adopters if they want to adopt a cat that doesn’t necessarily want them, craves judgment, and is ready to bring them back to reality unapologetically. 

“She will own you”

The post humorously continued, “If you adopt Quinn, you will not be her owner, because Quinn cannot be owned. She will own you, your house, your belongings, and everything you hold dear.”

Describing Quinn as their “longest-term cat resident,” the Humane Society acknowledged that she may not be the ideal match for everyone. They emphasised Quinn’s unique personality, noting her talent for making people feel unwelcome and her sporadic interest in play.

The shelter even goes so far as to describe Quinn as a more lively houseplant, requiring a human primarily for food, water, and litter changes. The feline, they added, does not get along with other animals and would prefer a home with adults and teens only, stating, “Quinn is like a more physical version of someone yelling ‘Get off my lawn!’ at small children.”

Independent and judgemental

Despite Quinn’s independent and judgmental demeanour, the Humane Society encouraged potential adopters to meet her at the shelter, where she currently rules with an “iron paw”.

Since the shelter posted their unapologetically honest review of Quinn, they followed up with some good news. Quinn has been adopted, although apparently, she’s not too happy about it, of course!
