ALICE

I'm leaving in less than two weeks. I found out I cannot take my Alice with me. She is Calico with big green eyes. She is two years old. She is an indoor an outdoor cat. She was raised by two dogs, sometimes she acts like a dog. She cries when she is hungry or wants to go outside. I also have a lot of her things, including cat toys, treats, food, food bowls, cat bed, $100 litter box and litter. Please PM me for information. My name is Tessa btw.

I need to find her a home very soon! Please contact me asap.

Sorry you have to part with your cat

I just wanted to point out that this is an international site. I'm from England for example so the chance of finding someone on here that lives in the same area as you is very slim.

You don't state where your location is either but if you do. I sure some members could point you in the right direction to help you rehome your cat

Okay thank you. I put my location on my profile. Hopefully that helps

Can I ask why you can't take her with you? It is very hard to re home non-kittens, especially to a good home and on short notice. 

I would try putting up flyers in vet offices near you, contacting no kill shelters, and posting on craigslist. 

I have to advise extreme caution in giving a cat away for free- it seems you are doing so?  If you are determined to do this, you really have to use EXTREME caution. At a minimum, even for  non-kitten, I'd ask for a minimum $25 fee, or if you are more comfortable a donation to a charity.  If you want you can offer to refund the fee on proof that the cat was taken for the vet, but this is usually easier pre-spay or neuter as there'd be no reason to take a healthy 2 yr. old old to the vet until the rabies would need to be renewed and/or when an annual physical would  be preformed.  In any case, the fee should be high enough that the average person would need to consider it, however briefly.

If you do feel you need to offer the cat for free ( I know how hard finding a home for one can be, even a tiny kitten) you should definitely  ask for vet references (and actually call them) take a detailed pet history, and speak to them at length about previous pets, why they want a cat, views on declawing, what would cause them to rehome the cat, etc.

If you don't mind  my asking again, why do you need to rehome her? It is possible that if you talk to us in more detail about the issues you are having in keeping her, we'd be able to help you find a way to do so.  Her best chance at a happy and healthy life really probably is to stay with you.
