How can I give away my two cats ? what number do I have to call ?

Question

My son is allergic to cats and I would like to give away two cats that I have. I live in New York and was wondering if there is some place I can call so they can come pick up my cats...something like animal control perhaps? Please let me know..

Answer 1

No Please don't give them away to animal control or a humane society or shelter. They will put them to sleep.

Try to contact a rescue.

Go to petfinder.com

They have most rescues listed with their e-mails and phone numbers. Or maybe you know of one in your area?

Try to contact them.

You could also list them on websites for a good home.

Craigslist.org

kijijij.com

are 2 that I know.

Sorry you have to give your cats away. That is soo sad..

Maybe you can get your son some kind of allergy medicine or something so you can keep them!!

God bless you!!

Answer 2

That's lovely. You know damm well your cats will be killed when you give them away ddon't you? Do you care> I don't buy the allergy thinbg 1 bit.

Why "Free To A Good Home" Ads Are A Bad Idea

Your dog or cat has just given birth to a litter of sweet, innocent baby critters. You want to keep them all but you can't.

You have to find people to adopt them. For the longest time, people have been placing ads in the paper offering kittens or puppies

"free to a good home". Times have changed. Announcing to the public that you have free puppies or kittens can result in a painful death for them.

There are people called "bunchers" that scour the want ads and the internet looking for free kittens or puppies. They pretend that they will

provide a good home. Instead they sell the animals to research facilities for painful experimentation and death. Another danger of giving

away puppies and kittens is that some people will take them to feed to other animals, such as snakes and alligators. Thirdly, dogfighters

are always in search of bait for their dogs to maim and kill.

To prevent this from happening, charge an adoption fee of at least $25. If anyone questions it, tell them it is "earnest money" to ensure that

they really want the animal for a pet. Let them know there are bad people out there and you are just protecting the litter from harm. You can also deliver

the cat to the persons home to make sure they are who they say they are.

Answer 3

you should put up local newspaper adds or ask your friends, and also ask them to ask their friends. I wouldn't call animal control because I think they usually put animals down that don't get adopted. so asking around or even an add saying, "free cats to a good home" would most likely be a better option.

Answer 4

enter your zip code in www.petfinder.com

look for the no-kill rescues in your area

Answer 5

Please do not call animal control as they are owner relinquished and that would be a death sentence for them. Call a vet in your area and ask them about a NO KILL shelter or a rescue group. find one of them and ask them to take your kitties. I live in Illinois so I can't take them. Please call the vet and ask though.

Answer 6

New york city or what city in the state of new york- NEED MORE INFO please!

Answer 7

call your local spca or animal adoption agency or animal shelter

Answer 8

Call the local newspaper and advertise. In the advertising section there should be a number to call and send in pictures if they're cute :]. If you live on a busy street then you could set up a small table that says sweet cats to good family, $___. Or have your son take allegra or an allergy medicine.
