How do you ethically rehome an elderly cat?? What websites do I even use?
Hey everyone this is my first time even being on reddit but I need help. Just to preface, I have tried everything for this cat and love her dearly. It’s very hard even thinking about giving her away but it has to be done. Shakira (my cat) has grown up with me almost my whole life. She was my sister’s cat and only came back to me because my sister got Shakira a sister. She found out the hard way Shakira is not cat friendly as she refused to use her litter box and became territorial. The issue resolved at my house however, she is unable to be free in the house. She’s been with me for around 2 years and she has started to protest again. She has ruined multiple things of mine and half of the time i come home to my room smelling like a biohazard from her. I’m moving out for college soon and my parents refuse to take care of her while i’m gone. She has been the cause of many arguments since she started living with me. I just hope to find someone that could give her the care that I can’t.
Shakira is a 13 year old Shorthair calico with a shy but loving soul. (She is a brat is she dislikes something) I would attach a picture but idk how lol. Besides her behavioral issues, she’s a wonderful cat she still has bursts of energy and will sleep with you. I’ve asked around with family and friends and so far no luck. My biggest fear is her going to rot away in a shelter, as senior cats are often overlooked. If there’s a way I would like help from a shelter but ultimately, I just wanna know someone is going to take care of her. What are my options to rehome her and give her a place she would be happier in?
