Rehoming YOUR kitty.

  1. Reach out to your network. Ask everyone you know if they are interested in adopting a cat or if they know anyone who is. You’ll often find a friend, relative, coworker, or neighbor who was thinking about getting a cat and is interested in meeting your kitty.
  2. Use social media. Post your cat’s information and photos to your own social media pages and ask friends and family to share your post. You can also post on online rehoming groups on social media too.
  3. Create a compelling pet profile.  A description that shows off your cat’s great personality traits, and shares any challenges they may have. you can create a flyer to post at your veterinary clinic or local pet supply stores, or you can use it online. Make it fun but truthful.  You want your cat to find a forever home, not a home that will want to rehome them again because they expected something different.
  4. Use advertising. Post your pet’s photo and bio to self-rehoming platforms like www.adoptapet.com, where owners who need to find new homes for their pets can match up with potential adopters who are looking for pets.
  5. See your vet. Hopefully, your cat is already altered but if it is not please spay/neuter, and update your cat's vaccinations, and have your cat tested for FeLV and FIV. Please help to fight and don't contribute to the overpopulation issues we are facing.  WE have options for low cost spay/neuter in our resources.
  6. Check References.  Your pet deserves the best from you, they are family and you have committed to them so please honor that commitment.  Rehoming will be very stressful for them so please make sure you are doing your due diligence and making sure their new home will be with a safe and loving family.  Check with the new family's vet to make sure they care for their animals properly and will care for your kitty the way they deserve to be cared for.
