How to find a good home

If so, contact them and ask for referrals. Requiring a home visit of a prospective adopter is a VERY GOOD IDEA, and anyone who strenuously objects to such a visit is unlikely to be a good choice. Where do you live? And when are you plannning to travel? Dan |

How to find a good home
Going out of the Country and my cat is too scared to travel and the
travel requirements are excessive. May not return. After ads in 3 papers and posters everywhere, all I could find for a good home were people who just wanted to drive by and pick him up, no questions asked. I require a home visit. I want to know what type of environment this little special guy will have. Does anyone have any ideas for finding a good home for a cat. He is male, fixed, litter trained and a honey. But I am not going to give him to just anyone, no questions asked. My only other option is a cat orphanage which is SUPPOSEDLY no kill. I visited there and the cats are safe, but get absolutely no attention and are very lonely, it is quite obvious. I think I may have posted this before and some said, call vets. Knowing some of the vets here I question if this is a good idea, their primary priority seems to be making money with animal welfare a distant second. |

Is there a Craig's list for a city near you? www.craigslist.org Free listing, and LOTS of people read it. Put an ad, with a picture, if possible. a picture REALLY helps!!!! Unfortunately, newspapers are dying out. Maybe contact Flippy in Australia can help you: she has a HUGE website, and many, many people get a daily E-mail, with a story about cats, from her, so she has a pretty big mailing list. I've gotten E-mails from her in the past, looking for homes for cats and kittens. Send her a picture, if you can. If not, a really complete description: appearance, age, temperament, indoor/outoor, likes and dislikes, general behavior, including food, immunizations, lap kitty or not etc., etc. It's hard to rehome an adult cat, unfortunately. Tell her Gandalf from RPCA gave you her E-mail address. (put it in the subject line, at the beginning; she knows me :-) http://www.flippyscatpage.com She gets a LOT of E-mail; if she doesn't respond, E-mail me, and put 'cat needs home, RPCC' in the subject line, at the beginning. My E-mail address is valid. Include the whole description, and I'll forward it to her, using my 'real' E-mail address. I'm about due to send her a donation to help keep her website up, anyways. She's good people. Post on other cat newsgroups, and list the area (city) you're in, or nearest to. And post a better description: you want to get people's sympathy! rec.pets.cats.anecdotes rec.pets.cats.community rec.pets.cats.health+behavior rec.pets.cats.misc rec.pets.cats.rescue alt.cats are the ones I have on my newsreader; there may be others I don't know about. You could try posting a picture on alt.binaries.pictures.animals And ask for help there. Ask for help everywhere!!!!! There are a lot of cat lovers in the world, you just need to find one who will adopt your special kitty! Good luck!! |
