Six Dozen Socially Awkward Sweeties Arrive at Nevada Humane Society
It may not be graduation time, but there’s a new class in town—meet the 2016 Socially Awkward Sweeties, a unique group
of cats who are looking to move into a new home before the year is out.
You may ask what we mean by socially awkward. You know. The ones from high school
that were definitely not named Homecoming Queen or Most Likely to Succeed. These
aren’t even the nerds. The Socially Awkward Sweeties are the ones with the coke bottle
glasses (we’ve all been there), the ones who panic at the sight of a crowd, the females
who may or may not (again, we’ve been there) have a tiny moustache and the males who,
well, every time they try to talk to a girl they wind up sweating profusely from their
armpits and walking away with their head hanging.
Our Socially Awkward Sweeties arrived from a single home over the last couple of weeks. Nearly six dozen feline friends
from special circumstances who now need to get out of the shelter into your home.
Here’s the deal. You know that person that doesn’t like to be hugged? Or maybe they are super independent and prefer
their own companionship over anyone else? Our Socially Awkward Sweeties are just that. While
they are a mix of colors and ages, and all in pretty good health, they don’t exactly have the
personality that is going to get them into the yearbook as Most Popular. Their personalities are
rather… bland. They prefer to keep to themselves all the time. Think of it like an ongoing game
of hide and seek, or Where’s Waldo.
But here’s the cool thing. You can be a superhero to the Socially
Awkward Sweeties by adopting one (or two) and allowing them to live as the introvert they
are in your home. All you need to do is feed them, clean up after them, and occasionally
check on them to be sure they are not hiding so well you lose the game. Heck, if you’re not a
cat lover this is the perfect cat for you because you’ll never see her!
We’re all about lifesaving at Nevada Humane Society so no matter whether you’re voted Best
Looking or Most Likely to Disappear we think you deserve a future. The Socially Awkward
Sweeties deserve a home even if they just hide under your bed for the next six months. You know
this. And hey, if you like a challenge, you can always spend as much time with them as you want
and see if they do become that affectionate, head-butting, purr monster you prefer—because they
very well may. We have adopters that have gone through this before and now send us pictures of
the cats on their lap while they watch Mean Girls on TV together.
Don’t let our kids go through the Socially Awkward phase alone. Adopt one (or two… or three) and
help us be even better at lifesaving than we already are. Plus, you’ll be a hero. Not us, you. And
that’s where you can be as judgey as you want and take all the credit for all we care. We just want
to see their fuzzy upper lip smiling from under the bed.
Nevada Humane Society is open for adoptions seven days a week. The Socially Awkward Sweeties
are in Reno at 2825 Longley Lane and available from 11am to 6:30pm daily.
