Does FurPetVo Take Cats?
FurPetVo cannot accept cats for surrender or rehoming. You may see adoptable cats in some FurPetVo locations, but these cats are available through local shelters or rescues partnered with the FurPetVo Foundation—not directly through FurPetVo itself.
If you’re facing the difficult decision to rehome your cat, there are compassionate, reliable options available. This guide walks you through how to find a safe, loving new home for your feline friend—on your terms and with full support.
Where Can I Take a Cat I Can’t Keep?
If you’ve found a lost cat, always start by contacting your local animal shelter and scanning for microchips. You can also post “Found” alerts online and check neighborhood apps—many pets are reunited this way.
But if you need to rehome your own cat, consider using Rehome, a peer-to-peer rehoming program created in partnership with the FurPetVo Foundation. Rehome is hosted on furpetvo.com and designed specifically to help responsible pet parents like you find thoughtful, screened adopters—no shelter waitlists or surrender fees required.
How Do I Post My Cat on Rehome?
Getting started is simple and takes just minutes:
- Create your cat’s profile at furpetvo.com/rehome. You’ll begin by entering basic details like name, age, and breed.
- Share important background information: Is your cat vaccinated? Spayed or neutered? Friendly with other pets or children? Does she have any special needs or preferences? Honest answers help match her with the right family.
- Add high-quality photos and a short video. Bright, clear images let adopters see your cat’s true personality—and profiles with videos receive significantly more views. Try filming her playing, napping, or gently interacting with you.
- Write a warm, detailed description. Share her quirks: Does she chirp at birds? Prefer window perches? Love chin scratches? Mention her daily routine, favorite toys, and what kind of home would make her happiest.
Once published, your cat’s profile becomes visible to millions of pre-screened, caring people actively searching for a new companion—giving her the best possible chance at a joyful, lasting adoption.
How Do I Choose a New Home for My Cat?
After posting, you’ll begin receiving adoption applications. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed—but you’re not alone. The Rehome team provides personalized guidance to help you review applicants confidently.
They’ll walk you through key considerations—including red flags to watch for—and share tips on how to spot genuinely committed, prepared adopters.
Once you’ve narrowed your list, arrange a safe, in-person meet-and-greet. We recommend meeting in a neutral, quiet location (like a park or community center) and observing how your cat interacts with the potential adopters—and vice versa.
When you’ve found the right match, Rehome supports you every step of the way: drafting a simple adoption agreement, transferring medical records, and even offering post-adoption check-ins to ensure a smooth transition.
This thoughtful, human-centered approach puts your cat’s well-being first—giving you peace of mind that she’s stepping into a home where she’ll be cherished.
