furball needs a home

I have to move and can not bring him with me.Furball willbe 8 years on Jan
17,2004.he is neutered and loves attention .I am afraid to bring him to a
shelter, even though they claim they are a no kill .how will i know if he
got a good home.

please let me know if you can help,even advice is helpful

I have to ask why you can't bring him with you? It really upsets me that
people move and decide that their cat is nothing more than the equivelant of
a beer can to be tossed out. I really believe people should not have any
animal unless they are willing to care for them for the rest of their lives.

I have to agree with you. Would he give his real children away if
where he was moving and they said he could not have any children?!?!
I think we all know the answer to that. To me my babies ARE my
children along with my 2 legged children. I no more would "DUMP" my
furbabies then I would my real children.

I read an interesting article about a month ago in a recent issue of the
ASPCA magazine, for shelters dealing with surrenders. The question it asked
that really stuck with me is simple, and you might want to consider it for
yourselves. Would you rather an animal remain in a home where it is
unwanted, possibly neglected because of that, or in a shelter where it has a
chance to find a new, loving home?

Well, obviously the OP can't handle having a cat. They had a choice here and
they decided to move into a place that doesn't allow cats (one of the number
one excuses people have for geting rid of an animal). This person also said
they are afraid to bring this cat to a shelter for the fear they may not
receive a good home. A no-kill shelter may be the route to go here however I
still have to wonder why the human chose to move to a place that will not
allow cats? If you can't handle the responsibility of having a cat then you
should not get one in the first place. A cat is living, breathing creature
not a beer can to be tossed out later.

Most shelter around here keep them for an average of a week WHEN THEY
TAKE THEM. Usually they have so many cats / kittens that they will
not even take more !!

Our shelter never rejects a cat -- but that often means that the cat will be
euthanized in just a few days because there are far more cats (and dogs)
than homes. Therefore, the question of placing a cat in a shelter where it
has a chance for a loving home is often pure fantasy; it sounds good, but
the chances are pretty remote.
