If you have multiple cats or dogs you want to rehome, please list them all in ONE ad by name. This way someone knows you have multiple pets to choose from! Example: Bob - is a short haired tabby boy cat who is 1 years old. He loves attention, his wet cat food, and meowing at me. Bubbles - is a female cat who is black. She is super sweet and loves to play and sleep with me.

What food is the cat eating (dry only, dry and wet): *****
:::::::::::Please know that cats need canned wet food given DAILY. Why? Because cats have a low thirst drive and actually NEED the moisture from the wet food! Wet food is 75 % water (dry FOOD only 10%) and giving them wet food daily will help them avoid Urinary tract issues (which can lead to litter box avoidance), kidney disease, obesity issues linked to diabetes and cardiac issues. You will save on vet bills too! Limit the overly processed dry food and ensure cat eats all the wet food daily. At the VERY minimum each cat should get one 3oz. can of wet food a day or HALF of a 5.5oz. can a day (although we recommend double this).

*Please know, that when you bring your newly adopted cat or kitten home, it is always BEST to place him/her in a very small room (bathroom works great) with their litter box, food, water, and bed for a few days to a few weeks. This way the animal can adjust much quicker and get acclimated to the new environment with less stress. All cats/kittens need time to adjust, so if you adopt please allow this. Thank you.

GOOD PHOTOS are a must! Take your time and use natural lighting! Photos In Your Ad: This is usually the tipping point into adoption. A good photo will grab someone’s attention much more quickly. Take a look at this photo. It is the same cat! Which one are you more drawn to? Here are a few photo tips to help you get started.
- Natural Lighting Is A Must: Have someone hold your cat near a window with the natural lighting hitting their face and body, take a photo! Or take a cat selfie while you hold them (you don’t have to be in the photo). This not only shows that the cat likes to be held (hopefully), but brings natural light on the cat’s face. You will also avoid blur this way. For dogs, bring them outside! Or near a window works well too! Show them cuddled up in bed or playing with a toy.
- Ears Are Up And Happy: Using a photo with a cat’s or dog’s ears down in a frightening way, is not a good look. Take many different photos with their ears up and they appear happy.
- Close Up & Whole Body: Try taking a photo of just their face. This is typically the main photo we use when we post one of our own pets. It will grabs someone’s attention much more quickly than a photo far away. Make sure to take a few. Potential adopters want to see their cute face, but also their entire body!
Use Of Videos (A MUST for shy pets): If it wasn’t for the use of video’s we would not be able to rehome as many pets as we do. We choose to take a video of any shy pets we have this way the new adopter can get to know him before they come over.
- How Long? Take a short 1 minute video with your smartphone of the pet you want to place up for adoption.
- Of What? Take a video of the animal being petted and showing their affectionate side (rolling around on the ground, laying in your lap and purring). Even one of them playing works well.
- Where To Upload The Video To: YouTube is free and easy to use. Upload your video to YouTube and take that link to send to us! Seriously, it is easy!
- Why Should I Upload A Video? Most shy pets won’t show their true personalities at the meet and greet as they need time to warm up. Having a video of the pet to view PRIOR to the potential adopter arriving will help greatly! Trust us! 11 years of experience and we won’t post a shy cat without a video.

No you are only pressing buttons here. No need to to re-create your ad!
