Patience with transition
Settling takes time. A calm room, familiar comforts, and gentle routines can make all the difference.
ADULT CATS NEEDING A HOME
Why do we rehome
some cats?
We are often asked why, as breeders, we sometimes decide to find a new home for an adult female or male cat.
There are several reasons an adult cat may need a new home. Whatever the reason, one thing always comes first for us: the cat’s wellbeing and quality of life.
Not every cat is happy in a larger group. Some enjoy many feline companions, while others feel better in a smaller cat family or as the only cat in the home.
Some cats blossom when they have all the attention to themselves. Others feel stressed by group dynamics, do not thrive with certain companions, or simply need more peace and individual attention.
A good breeder gets to know each cat and considers their character, needs, and preferences. Sometimes we realize a cat would be happier in a different family setting. Ultimately, that is what matters.
Rehoming a cat is rarely easy. Often, these are cats we have lovingly raised from birth, lived with for years, and formed a special bond with. We never take that decision lightly.
A MATCH THAT RESPECTS THE CAT
What makes a
good new home?
A good rehoming takes time, care, and above all a thorough search for the right match. We look for a family that understands the cat’s character and needs, gives them all the attention they deserve, and welcomes them as a full member of the family.
We consider not only the prospective owners, but above all which environment will be best for the cat. Finding the right family matters more than how quickly a new home is found.
And after the move, we do not simply lose touch with our cats. We are happy to stay involved in their lives and love hearing and seeing how well they are doing.
Room for individuality
Every adult cat has individual preferences around play, handling, other pets, and the pace of new relationships.
Open communication
When an adult is available, we discuss their needs, history, and practical details to help everyone begin well.
