Meet Chloe, a Persian cat with a personality as striking as her appearance. Currently residing at the Helping Hands Humane Society in Topeka, Kansas, Chloe has garnered significant attention due to her unique demeanor and the shelter’s creative social media post. However, adopting Chloe comes with a catch: you must meet her “royal standards.”
Chloe’s grumpy face is not just for show; it matches her temperament perfectly. The shelter describes her as a “Persian wild child” with a personality reminiscent of a character from “Mean Girls.” Chloe is playful but has a strict set of preferences and behaviors that potential adopters need to understand.
According to a Facebook post from July 19, Chloe is not a morning person — in fact, she’s not much of a people person at any time. She might stare at you from afar, plotting your downfall, and occasionally grant you the honor of petting her, but only on her terms. “SWAT. HISS. SWAT,” the post describes her reaction to unauthorized petting. Chloe demands to be petted with your eyes only, making her the queen of the shelter.
Chloe comes with a list of major don’ts, which include:
Children: Chloe prefers an adult-only environment.
Quick Moving People: Fast movements make her uneasy.
Dogs: Chloe is not a fan of canine companions.
Potential adopters must be patient and respectful of her boundaries to win her approval.
The shelter’s post invites brave souls to meet Chloe: “Dare to meet Chloe? Stop by—if you meet her royal standards, she might not banish you far, far away from her.” The post adds a touch of humor, but the underlying message is clear: Chloe is looking for a special home where her unique personality will be understood and appreciated.
The post has sparked a lot of love and laughter in the comment section. Volunteers and potential adopters have shared their experiences and admiration for Chloe:
One volunteer shared a positive encounter: “When I was volunteering I met Chloe when she was in intake! She takes a little to settle but after I gave her a treat she let me pet her.”
Another commenter expressed a desire for updates on Chloe’s adoption: “She needs her own pet page! Chloe is seriously out here judging EVERYONE!!! I can’t wait to hear of her adoption and NEED updates!!”
Some even saw themselves in Chloe: “….am I Chloe?” another asked, highlighting her relatable personality.
Chloe’s future home will need to be one that can accommodate her personality quirks and give her the space she needs. She requires a calm and patient environment, free from the hustle and bustle that could stress her out. The right adopter will see beyond her grumpy exterior and appreciate the unique charm that Chloe brings.
Chloe the Persian cat is not your average feline. With her distinctive look and personality, she has captivated the hearts of many. However, adopting Chloe is not for the faint-hearted; it requires someone who can meet her royal standards and provide the love and respect she demands. For those who dare to take on the challenge, Chloe promises to bring a unique and rewarding companionship.
