Pet Food Express does not take cats, but it’s easy to understand why there is some confusion about this. Pet Food Express holds several adoption events throughout the year. The pets, however, are from local cat rescue groups rather than from owner surrenders.
What to Do if You Need to Rehome Your Cat 
If you’ve already tried to resolve the issue with your cat, and you’re sure the only answer is to rehome him, you’ll have a few options.
Local Shelters
You might think that a shelter is a safe place to surrender your pet, but the truth is that sometimes healthy, adoptable animals are put down because there simply isn’t enough space. While many facilities are moving to a no-kill philosophy, others still euthanize for space. Be sure to rehome_research any shelter you’re considering.
Local Rescues
Privately run rescues usually are willing to do whatever it takes to find a great home for your cat, but the problem is that they are often full. They operate in limited space and with limited funds, so they can’t take every animal that needs a home.
Rehome Your Pet Yourself
Want your cat to have the best chance of a happy home? Rehome him yourself! You might be intimidated by the process, but there are free resources that can help. Check out Rehome where you can create a profile for your pet, accept applications, find advice about how to screen potential adopters, and much more.
If you can’t keep your cat, he deserves a new home where he can be happy and loved. Taking the time to make sure that happens will give you peace of mind knowing you did what was best for your pet.
