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
10. We’re Here to Help
If you need support, you’re not alone.
Our rescue can help by:
Sharing your lost cat’s information
Providing search tips and guidance
Helping coordinate community outreach
