Guidelines For Placing An Animal In A New Home
If you are looking for a home for a companion animal or stray and need some ideas to help find a good home, please review and download our guidelines for placing your pet or stray animal in a new home. These guidelines include tips on what you should do to prepare your animal for adoption and how to screen potential adopters to make the right match for your animal. Cats do best in rehoming situations when they are rehomed by their owner and bypass a shelter environment. We encourage you to do make the most effort to prevent your cat from sitting in a shelter environment awaiting a new home. If you have exhausted all your resources and would like to inquire about surrendering to Town Cats, please email surrender@towncats.org for availability and options. Not all requests can be accommodated.

Name: Flicka
Date of birth: 2008
Breed: Siamese & Domestic shorthair

While she’s lived with dogs before—lower-energy ones who respect her space do best—she doesn’t do well with other cats and should be the only cat in her home.
Spayed/Neutered: Yes (spayed)
Vaccinations: Current
Animal History: Flicka is very sweet and great with people. As she ages, Flicka’s tummy has gotten more sensitive. She does best with several small meals throughout the day to keep her from eating too quickly. She gets anxious in the car.

Animal name: Rhi Rhi
Date of birth:
Weight:
Breed:
Physical Description:
Personality Description:This little muppet is a huge fan of chasing lights and paper balls, loves (and needs) regular brushing, and has very basic medical care (meds mixed into food, 2x daily). She has gone on an epic journey from scared and untouchable to lovebug who just wants more ear rubs.
She is looking for a new cat-parent that is patient, loving and has some experience with cats. Ideally, Rhi Rhi would be the only cat in the house, but we are open to trial adoptions at multi-cat homes. Maybe your friendly furball is the friend she always wanted!
She needs to be brushed regularly. She has a hip/spine problem that gives her the silliest little prance you’ve ever seen. While it doesn’t seem to cause her pain, it does make it so she can’t reach her whole body while grooming herself. Given her mobility limitation and thick luscious main, regular combing is required to prevent her hair from mating. Luckily, she LOVES to get brushed.
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Vaccinations: Yes
Animal History: She has hip/spine issues that do not seem to cause her pain or distress but lead to limited mobility and an adorable walk/run. It also means she cannot maintain her fur and must get brushed regularly.
She has megacolon that is under control. Megacolon is where her colon is damaged such that without a proper diet and medication, she cannot poop reliably. However, she has responded well to treatment and is on a specific set of very easy-to-administer meds, all of which can be mixed into her food at breakfast and dinner. She is also on a pain reducer/mood stabilizer called gabapentin (also mixed into food). All of her medications come to a total of $20 a month or less. We will start you off with a supply of a month or more.

Contact Name: Kimberly Cope

Animal Bio: Kazi is a big, lovable, ball of fur. He has gorgeous markings and the sweetest disposition. At 2-1/2 years old, he’s still playful and energetic while being well-behaved. He’s not picky about his food (will eat dry kibble) and LOVES treats! He and his littermate love to play and run around a bit in the morning before settling down in a kitty ball on the couch to nap. In the evenings, they keep me company on the couch watching TV before bedtime. Kazi has always been an indoor cat and is litter trained with the Breeze litter system, although I’m sure he’d adapt to whatever you use. If you invite Kazi to come live with you, he’ll offer you many years of snuggles, purrs, and unconditional love.
