Looking for good hands: where can you give a cat

It can be tough to find your cat a new home, but there are instances when it’s the best option for both of you. Situations in life can change, and you may find yourself unable to give your cat the attention they require. It’s critical in these situations to understand where and how to safely give your cat to a devoted home.

When it comes to rehoming a pet, many people are unsure of where to begin. Thankfully, there are many options available, ranging from online platforms that specialize in matching pets with new owners to shelters. Making sure your cat is placed in a secure and nurturing environment is crucial.

This post will discuss how to choose the ideal family for your pet, where to look for a new home for your cat, and ways to ease the transition.

It’s crucial to look into safe and reliable options when searching for a new home for your cat, such as neighborhood shelters, rescue organizations, or pet adoption-focused social media sites. You can rest easy knowing your pet will be in good hands if you can confirm that the individual or family adopting your cat is responsible and prepared to care for them.

Why is it necessary to part with an animal

In 46% of Russian households, there are cats. They have a great appearance, are modest, and come with a range of food and care products. Keeping a cat in a city apartment and the owners’ employment do not present any challenges. Naturally, when a "whiskered-striped" is acquired, its owners anticipate living with the animal "happily ever after," but occasionally the animal must be given away. There are various causes:

Allergy. Sometimes after a person gets a cat, he realizes that he has an allergy – itches in nose, eyes are running and the condition is disgusting. Unfortunately, treating this disease is expensive and ineffective in 80% of cases. All medications relieve symptoms during short-term contact with the source of allergy, but you can’t count on a long-term effect. If the disease manifests itself when the cat has just been acquired, there are minimal problems, it can be quickly returned to its previous owners with apologies. It is much more difficult if the animal lived in an apartment for some time, and then, for example, a child appeared who is allergic to wool.

Unfortunately, if allergy symptoms appear, the cat will have to be given away.

Options for placing domestic cats

If you are forced to give up your pet, think about a few placement options that will enable you to find the cat a loving new home.

About “releasing into the wild”

For some reason, many people believe that a pet can survive on the streets; they say things like, "It’s a cat; it will find food and catch a mouse." This is untrue; people have given animals comfort, weaned them off of food, and weakened their immunity through vaccinations. Being thrown out causes a great deal of stress, which in turn causes a rise in diseases. An apartment pet is destined for a slow and agonizing death, even for a cat that lives in a private home and enjoys free-range walks.

Once domestic cats are put on the streets, they die quickly.

The Moscow Code of Administrative Offenses stipulates that careless owners may be fined between one and two thousand rubles. Future plans call for toughening this punishment—which carries a maximum one-year jail sentence—by equating "abandonment without care" with animal cruelty. Pets kept at home are not currently covered by any laws.

Owners of unwanted animals occasionally opt for a different course of action: releasing the cat close to a canteen, building site, farm, or other farm in the hopes that the animal will find food and shelter there and ease their guilt. However, doing so would be the same as throwing them out onto the streets, and in addition, there are already a lot of stray animals in the area that will take care of the domestic "sissy" very quickly.

Looking for new owners

You can attempt to initially place the cat with friends. Speak with your loved ones, coworkers, and friends; perhaps someone will be open to acquiring a pet.

I have a black panther cat in temporary care. Calls are coming in, but what if she dents the furniture? or the youngster will torment her. Oh no, get a plush toy; the kid won’t torment her, and she won’t damage the furniture. What makes them all require a living toy? The fact that we keep her around offends them as well.

Another option is internet advertising. It is advised to carry out a few quick tasks with the cat before drafting an appeal:

1. Get the animal in order. Sterilization or castration (applies only to adult cats), rabies vaccinations, deworming, bathing — these manipulations increase the chances of finding a home beast.
2. Take 5-7 close-up, good quality photos. As a rule, it is best to photograph a cat against a plain contrasting background, add a photo "from life" – where the kitty plays, washes or sleeps.

Having a stunning close-up photo will make more people want to purchase your pet.

Ads with unique images or information about your pet will draw attention.

Giving to a shelter

A lot of people wish that the cat could go to a specialty shelter. There are three possible outcomes: either they will agree to accept the pet for free, accept it in exchange for a fee, or refuse. The third option, where the cat was purebred and had potential for additional adoption, was once encountered by the author of this article.

Because there are a lot of animals in need of temporary housing, shelters are typically overcrowded.

Typically, shelters are private, overflowing with stray animals, and are funded by donations and volunteer labor from the public. Moreover, the majority of stray cats that shelters take in are in horrible shape. They will probably not put up with a successful domestic purr. Prepare yourself for lengthy phone calls if placing a cat at a shelter is your only option. Thankfully, there are people all over the place who are concerned about what happens to abandoned animals, and large cities now have multiple shelters, so if you are turned away somewhere, don’t give up.

A cat from a shelter may be brought back if it is unable to adjust to life at home. The shelter advises calling, coming, and returning the cat as soon as possible if something goes wrong. Kindly ensure that non-pedigree animals are neutered and avoid breeding unwanted, homeless kittens and puppies. Castrated animals are better-mannered, do not leave marks, have fewer allergies, and are free of many illnesses and tumors.

Some Moscow shelters’ websites:

• "Murkosha";
• "Laskoviy Zver";
• "Biryulevo";
• Municipal shelter "Pechatniki";
• "Kozhukhovo";
• Charity Fund "Forest Shelter".

Features of the kittens" arrangement

In its lifetime, a domestic cat can give birth to approximately 90 kittens, though this number is extremely average. A purebred dusty from Texas holds the world record with 420 children.

It is typically simpler to locate the owner of a kitten than an adult cat.

Of course, it’s not realistic to expect so many kittens to have good, responsible owners. If the owner does not intend to become a breeder, sterilizing a domestic cat is the best course of action.

Announcements about the kitten distribution draw in con artists who are prepared to take advantage of the whole droppage at once. Later, they use "altitude" to trick unsuspecting citizens into believing that the money they give them will be used to buy food for the animals. Adult cats in "boxes" are generally uninterested in. The poor conditions in which kittens are kept eventually cause them to die within a few days or weeks, and their short-lived owners are forced to search for new ads.

In the event that the kittens are thoroughbred, they are being sought after by resellers who hawk animals in "bird markets" and on the streets close to the metro. The animals are either destroyed or thrown out onto the street if they are not purchased.

To prevent kittens from becoming victims of scammers, you should know simple rules.

1. Never give away the entire litter at once.
2. Be wary if the person who responded to the ad is not interested in the kitten"s characteristics, its diet, age and character. Scammers do not buy animals for themselves, so they do not ask questions.
3. Do not agree when those who called the ad offer to take on the placement of kittens for a certain amount – this is a scam!

Do not give up; it is simpler to find an owner for a baby than it is for an adult animal. Offer assistance with future castration or sterilization if funds permit. And make sure to castrate or sterilize your pets to prevent such circumstances in the future!

It can be difficult to find a cat a loving home, but there are plenty of options. Selecting a method that guarantees the safety and well-being of the cat is crucial, regardless of whether it is through shelters, rescue organizations, or online platforms.

When looking for the right family, have patience and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Ensuring that the cat is happy in its new home will contribute to that future.

Above all, keep in mind that a lot of people are searching for new furry friends, so you should have no trouble finding a loving home if you take the appropriate steps.
