Rehoming

Rehoming Cats and Kittens

As much as people love their pets, situations sometimes arise when they can no longer keep their beloved cats and/or kittens. Some of these situations include:

  • Allergies
  • Moving to where pets are no longer allowed
  • Inability to properly take care of these animals due to finances or health issues
  • Incompatibility with other pets and/or people

Friendly Pets to the rescue! We now offer a Rehoming program for those of you who need to surrender your cats or kittens.

Acceptance Procedure

In those circumstances, Friendly Pets has the experience needed to be able to rehome cats and kittens with safe, loving families. In order to provide this service at the highest quality level for your pet, the following procedures are necessary to safely rehome your cat or kitten:

  • You must provide veterinary documentation showing the following for the cat/kitten:
    • Age
    • Intact/Spayed/Neutered
    • FeLeuk Test Results
    • Vaccinations
  • Kittens must be 8 weeks or older
  • Kittens 4 months or older must have their rabies vaccination along with at least their rabies certificate; we would prefer to have the rabies tag and the rabies certificate
  • The above must be provided prior to or at the time of your Approval Meeting
  • Approval Meeting - this meeting must be scheduled with a manager. We will not accept "walk-ins." The cat(s)/kitten(s) will be observed during this meeting for temperament, visual appearance and health, and to allow the manager to ask the owner general questions
  • Immediately after the approval meeting, it will be determined if the cat/kitten will be accepted for surrender and rehoming
  • If the cat or kitten is accepted, the owner must complete a Friendly Pets Surrender Form, signing over their legal ownership of the animal to Friendly Pets. A copy of this signed form will be provided to the previous owner.
  • Friendly Pets expects all veterinary documentation to be given at the time of surrender. Friendly Pets will provide copies to the previous owner by request only.
