What Do I Do With An Unwanted Cat?

Cats are loving, affectionate animals, but are also fiercely independent. If you find yourself in a position where you can no longer keep your feline companion, or have found a stray that you simply cannot accommodate, knowing your options can help you select the best course of action to help ensure that your cat is taken care of. Your choices range from cat rescue centres to direct adoption. Find a safe, comfortable place for your cats protection.

 

One method of home transition for an unwanted animal is adoption. Place an ad in the local newspaper and classified websites. Contact your veterinarian and ask them to share the information with customers. Post flyers, and use the power of communication with your friends and family members to get the word out. Select the family carefully, making sure that you are comfortable with the home your pet goes into.

 

If you purchased your cat from a breeder, check the purchase contract that you signed. In some cases, the contract contains a clause that requires you to return the cat to the breeder if at any time you can no longer care for her. This clause is typically valid for the life of the animal, and is designed for the cats protection.

 

Contact a cat rescue to locate another home, permanent or foster home, for your cat. Rescue centres have an index of families and centres that can accommodate surrendered animals. These homes may be transitional but they are typically private homes.

 

The local Humane Society branch is an ideal choice for your cats protection. You can be certain that your local Humane Society will care for your cat. The centre provides veterinary care when necessary. Individuals must pass a stringent screening process to adopt.
