Trying to find a home for my cat?
I have a cat that I love to death, but can't keep because I'm going to be traveling too much for work (flight attendant). Where is a good place to find him a home? I'm really depressed about the whole situation, but I know it's best for him. There's no way I can take him with me to these hotels or even on the planes, I can't afford a nice kennel all the time, and I absolutely will not leave him home alone for days on end. Any help would be just great. I live in Long Beach, CA. I've looked on petfinder.com and Craig's list. I just want to keep him here until I find someone. I leave for barbie boot camp in a couple months, too.

Start by asking friends and family to put out the word your kitty needs a home. It would be great if someone you know could take him. Next, check with no kill shelters in your area. If your cat is friendly, up to date on vaccinations, and neutered, they might take him. Most will charge a fee so be prepared for that. It's totally on the up and up as these shelter run completely on donations. If your cat has any traits of a certain breed, a breed rescue might take him. For instance, if he has blue eyes and Siamese coloring, a Siamese rescue might take him. You can find these places by Googling or at http://www.petfinder.com/index.html . Don't place any free to a good home ads. These attract people who sell cats to research labs, hoarders, dog fighters who use cats for bait, and impulse buyers who won't make a lifelong commitment to the cat. Charge a small adoption fee and make sure to check references of anyone who takes him. Lastly, you may be forced to put him in a shelter. Not the best of situations but better than being homeless.
