  • Rehoming a pet is a difficult decision, and doing it thoughtfully can make all the difference for your animal’s safety and future happiness.

    1. Be Honest About Your Pet

    Share accurate information about:

    • Age, breed, size, and personality

    • Energy level and daily needs

    • Medical history, vaccinations, and spay/neuter status

    • Any behavioral challenges (fear, anxiety, litter box issues, etc.)

    • How your pet does with children, other animals, and new environments

    Honesty helps set everyone up for success and reduces the risk of a failed placement.

    2. Use Clear, Recent Photos

    Good photos help your pet get noticed:

    • Use natural lighting

    • Show your pet’s face, body, and personality

    • Avoid filters or cluttered backgrounds

    • Include multiple photos when possible

    3. Screen Potential Adopters Carefully

    Not every interested person will be the right fit.

    • Ask about their experience with pets

    • Confirm housing allows animals

    • Ask about other pets in the home

    • Discuss time, financial commitment, and expectations

    It’s okay to say no if something doesn’t feel right.

    4. Avoid “Free to a Good Home”

    Pets given away for free are at higher risk of unsafe situations.

    • Consider a reasonable rehoming fee

    • A fee helps ensure commitment and serious interest

    5. Do Not Rush the Process

    Finding the right home matters more than finding a fast one.

    • Avoid last-minute or pressured decisions

    • Take time to ask questions and follow up

    6. Meet in a Safe Location

    • Meet adopters in a public place or veterinary clinic

    • Avoid rushed handoffs

    • Take time to talk through expectations

    7. Share Medical History and Routine

    Provide adopters with:

    • Veterinary records and vaccination history

    • Medication or special care instructions

    • Feeding routines and preferences

    This helps your pet transition more smoothly.

    8. Trust Your Instincts

    You know your pet best.

    • A good adopter will respect your questions

    • If something feels off, pause or decline

  • Losing a cat is frightening, but many cats are found—often very close to home. Acting quickly and methodically gives you the best chance of bringing them home safely.

    1. Search Close First

    Most lost cats stay within a small radius.

    • Check bushes, garages, sheds, crawl spaces, and under porches

    • Look at night with a flashlight—eyes reflect light

    • Call softly; don’t panic or shout

    Indoor cats are often hiding nearby.

    2. Use Familiar Scents

    • Place your cat’s litter box outside (one box only)

    • Put out bedding, blankets, or clothing with your scent

    • Leave food inside, not outdoors (to avoid attracting other animals)

    3. Alert Your Neighborhood

    • Talk to neighbors, mail carriers, and delivery drivers

    • Ask them to check garages, sheds, and fenced areas

    • Leave flyers at nearby homes and intersections

    4. Create Clear Flyers

    Effective flyers include:

    • Large, clear photo

    • Pet’s name, color, and key markings

    • “LOST CAT” in bold letters

    • Cross streets or general area (not full address)

    • Contact number

    Keep text minimal and easy to read from a distance.

    5. Post Online Immediately

    Share your cat’s info in:

    • Local lost & found pet groups

    • Neighborhood Facebook and Nextdoor groups

    • Community boards and rescue pages

    Post daily updates to keep visibility high.

    6. Check Shelters and Vets Often

    • Contact local shelters, animal control, and vet clinics

    • Visit in person when possible

    • File a lost pet report and check frequently

    Don’t rely on just one call.

    7. Microchip & ID

    • If your cat is microchipped, report them missing to the microchip company

    • Make sure your contact info is current

    • If found, proof of ownership may be required

    8. Set a Humane Trap (If Needed)

    If your cat is hiding but won’t approach:

    • Use a humane trap with food

    • Monitor traps frequently

    • Ask a rescue or animal control for guidance

    9. Don’t Give Up Too Soon

    Cats are often found days or weeks later.

    • Continue checking, posting, and searching

    • Update flyers if needed

    • Stay consistent
