How do I select the best person to give my cat to?

Find a nice sweet person who would take good care of your cat, someone you trust, and wouldn’t let anything happen to your cat. Hope I helped!:)

FIND SOMEONE YOU TRUST, THAT PREFERRABLY LIKES CATS. MAKE SURE THAT THAY WILL TAKE CARE OF THE KITTY’S EVERY NEED. MAKE SURE THEY WON’T JUST FORGET ABOUT HIM\HER AND THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE A SECURE COMFY PLACE FOR IT TO LIVE AT.

true, I’ll check it out.

Is there really no way to convince your landlord to keep him? This is really sad. Maybe if you explained to him how important this is to you? I hope you can find a happy solution.

When I had to give away my cat I started by telling all my friends. It’s always better to go through someone you know. Then if you can’t find anyone that way, try a local add at the vets, cat food shop or grocery store. The reason I say local is because you might be able to visit the cat at his new home if he lives close by. That way you will be reassured. Either way, when you have someone who is interested take the time to interview them (that’s what animal shelters do!). Ask them if they’ve had pets before, why they want a cat, if they think they can afford him and if they will let you visit him. That way you can get a feel for the person and the new life your cat will have. You’ll know for sure if you take the time to talk to the person.

Thanks, everyone, for your ideas and, phrannie, That’s something to think about, but (Toonces) is scared around a lot of people. I will, definitely, talk to my son and see what he thinks. And we won’t hurry, for sure. Every time I think of giving him away, I get very depressed. Not only are we attached to him but he’s attached to us. I have to be in bed most of the time and I can’t begin to tell you how close we are.

Phrannie you are awesome !

After my wreck I quickly figured out that I was not able to care for my ferrets the way they deserved to be so I contacted a couple of the local vets in my area and asked them if they knew of anyone that would take them. We found a guy that already had several of them and had a room in his house dedicated to his ferrets.

Think about it. If someone loves their pets then they are going to make regular visits to the vet. What better place to find someone to care for your cat.

exemples of families not to give him to: ones with lots of small children(children will regualy annoy him and could injure him). ones who’s cat got killed by a car ones with other cats(he’d probably fight and injure himself)

Don’t let yourself get desparate to get the cat rehomed…desparation tends to lead us humans down a path of “wishful thinking”…

I just had a “flash” of intuition…What about a nursing home for the elderly?? This kitty has had a rough life…what a wonderful way to live out the rest of his…being loved and coddled by some old folks…and he, in turn, will lower their blood pressure, bring them some joy, and ease lonliness…The nursing homes around here sure do have pets in them…Call around and check them out.
