Re-Homing a Pet on Your Own:
Since many pet owners obtain their furry family members from sources outside a shelter, chances are good that you can find a new home for your pet through various forms of advertisement including social media and Craigslist.One reliable and free online resource for posting your pet is through REHOME by Adopt-a-Pet.com and The Petco Foundation.
We advise that you are careful when re-homing your pet to someone you don’t know and that ask for a valid form of identification. It is recommended to charge a fee and ask plenty of questions. Good homes and families inquiring about your pet will not be deterred by these safeguards. You want to make sure that your pet goes to the best possible home, and they will respect that. It also helps to have your pet spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and to have cats tested for feline leukemia (FeLV).
Please be aware that kittens should not be re-homed until they are at least 8 weeks of age or older. See this guide to help you determine a kitten’s age.
