Since I have started cat rescue, I have had at least 3 people ask me to take their cats. None were nice friendly cats, easily adopted out. I turned down all three. I let them know that if they, who loved the cat, did not want it, neither did anyone else.
One was biting, playing too rough, and chewing up its owners belongings when left alone. I encouraged the owner to stop playing too rough with the cat, and to crate it when he was gone, to give it some security. The cat is still in its home, and the owner is happy with it. (He no longer needs to be crated!)
The second was found a new home by its owner. The third remains in its home, with allergic family members, and will remain safely there until they can find a new owner.
Adult cats are difficult to find homes for. And many people will lie, stating they are turning in a stray, when it is their own cat. I think that is why some places charge to turn in a cat.
