Surrender

Loving Care Cat Rescue (LCCR) understands that there are circumstances when you must surrender a kitty. Below are some considerations before surrendering a kitty.

• There are free websites such as those listed below to assist with finding a new home for a kitty, rather than surrendering to a shelter.
  • Home to Home https://home-home.org/
  • Adopt a Pet https://rehome.adoptapet.com/
• Don’t rush. Take time to find the kitty the best new home.
• Increase the kitty’s adoptability by having her/him spayed/neutered, groomed, and vaccinated.
• Do not advertise that animals are free. Too often, free ads attract individuals who will abuse, torture and kill them, such as bait animals for dog fight training.
• Tell friends, family, coworkers, and your personal social networks that the kitty needs a new home. The more people who know help is needed, the better the chances of finding the kitty a new family.
• No one knows the kitty better than you do! While interviewing potential adopters, be sure to share expectations for the kitty’s new home and be sure to ask questions to identify a home that will be a good fit.
• It is the responsibility of pet owners to disclose any bite history to potential adopters.
• Please, never abandon a kitty, or any animal for that matter! If the situation is desperate, call or email the humane society for assistance.
• Here is a link to other resources.

We would like to help everyone in need, but our ability to do so is based solely on foster availability. To contact us about surrendering a kitty, email lovingcarecatrescue@gmail.com.
