I hate that I have to find a new home for Riley. He has been the "baby" in my home of 3 cats for the 6 yrs. of his life. He is sweet natureted and loves to be with you.(pull up a chair while you cook and he will come watch you :) ) He is neutered. He needs a home where someone is home with him a lot of the day, and he needs to be the only cat in the family. He does best without young children in home.

Hi Teresa... because everyone here is located from all over the world consider posting an ad through a free online service such as Petfinder http://www.petfinder.com or your local Craigslist http://www.craigslist.org and look for your state, then nearest city and then under the Community and then subsection Pets. Be sure to ask for a small adoption fee (e.g. $15) to disuade people who are looking for a free pet to sell to research labs, use for dog bait training, snake food or worse mistreatment. Ask prospective adopters that you would like to conduct a home inspection monthly for 3 months to ensure the well-being of the cat as well. You can negotiate the adoption fee if you feel you have found a good home and refund the money after a few months. People scour Craigslist every minute daily so you may find someone pretty quickly.

I don't know where you live but our Pet Smart has a cat rescue inside...I spoke with them a few times while donating and they said that they're not all strays..they're cats that people couldn't care for anymore, had to move and couldn't take kitty or other reasons...see if your local Pet Smart has a cat rescue or knows of a connection. They have foster homes for cats also. Good luck with your cat. Hope he finds the perfect home where he'll be spoiled rotten as all cats deserve!

I suggest starting with asking people you know, friends and family, even co-workers. You may not get an answer right away but ask them to spread the word. And be picky about who gets your "baby", if they truly can offer a good home they won't mind. Good luck!

That is really to bad you have to give him away, I hope it is for a good reason, because I think when you take in a pet it shoud be forever, it is not fair to them to have a home and be happy there and then one day not have a home anymore that must be horrible and very sad for the animal

Not really a suggestion, but more advice. Avoid the "no-kill" shelters. It sounds great in theory, but in reality a lot of those places are overcrowded with many sick animals.
I'd start with family and friends and put the word out and go from there. Good luck.

Try vets offices -- posting ads. Also the newspaper. Don't take him to the pound -- they usually have to euthenize older pets. Take responsibility for finding him the right home--it may take awhile.

awwww...i wish i could have him! i've been wanting an inside cat for a long time now...(my cat likes exploring and won't stay inside).
Try PetSmart, their cats go to really good homes. Good luck and I'm sorry you have to give your beloved cat away! ='(
