I helped a lady who had too many cats. Her landlord was going to call animal control on her, and then they would have put the cats to sleep. She brought 3 to my house and I told her I would help her find them homes. I have been trying to find them homes for a week now. And not a single one has been adopted. I am moving in a week and also have 4 cats of my own so I cannot keep anymore. I am going to take them to a non kill shelter now but I feel horrible. Anyone know someone who would want a sweet cat? They are all three so sweet. Any suggestions?

First off, thank you for being kind to the innocent cats. I'm sure they appreciate the love and time you've given them. Second, try www.kaboo.com and go there. Free ads there, and its sorted by area, so people in your local area can see it there. Also, as others have said, try a newspaper ad or flyers. Sadly, yes if those don't work, a no-kill shelter would be the best place for them. I wish I could have more cats, but I have three already and my husband has threatened to disown me if we get anymore cats. Otherwise, I'd love to have more 'babies' to love on. God speed to you and thank you of thinking of them first and not yourself.

Its a good thing what you did. If you have to bring them to the shelter i wouldn't be too upset. I work at a shelter in Arizona and the animals are very well cared for, at least the one i work at. They are taken out of they're cages a couple of times a day to walk around and to be held by workers. Also they are more likely to be adopted from there becasue more people would go there than you just trying to find them a home. I really hope i helped

There are organizations that will find homes for homeless cats. My daughter got two cats from "Friends of Animals" in New Jersey. Look in the yellow pages, call the ASPCA or your local humane society, I'm sure you can find someone to take your cats. And I commend you for wanting to fine a no-kill shelter.

That was very sweet of you to help those poor kitties. I would put an ad on postaroo.com and put up flyers around your neighborhood, if all else fails take them to the no kill shelter they will find them good homes.

along with the other great ideas, you can also post ads in a senior home facility or place that holds elderly day care. many elderly people happen to be single and would love the companionship of a pet to care for that will also be there for them. its been known to improve their general mood and uplift their spirits so it would benefit both the cat and adopter.

I think you are doing the right thing. At a no-kill shelter they will be kept until they are adopted! Good luck!

Try the veterinary clinics. They may know someone who is looking for a cat. They may also have a board which you could place a plea for a home.

If you can't find anyone to take them... taking them to a no kill shelter is the best thing you can do.

You could try posting up flyers and passing them around to homes (the flyers not the cats) someone should budge.

Try putting ads in the newspaper, free to good home, and trying putting up flyers.
