Does Pet Food Express Take Cats?

Pet Food Express does not take cats, but it’s easy to see why this causes confusion — Pet Food Express holds several adoption events throughout the year. The pets, however, are from local cat rescue groups rather than from pet parents.

If you’re considering finding a new home for them, check out Rehome. It’s Adopt a Pet’s safe, simple program that lets adopters safely adopt a pet directly from their current pet parent or caretaker. So pets can find new loving homes without entering a shelter.

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.

Try a local shelter

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 limited admission philosophy, others still euthanize for space. Be sure to research any shelter you’re considering.

Try a local animal rescue

Privately run shelters and rescues are usually willing to do whatever it takes to find a great home for your cat, but 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 by Adopt a Pet, 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, they deserve 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.
