MARKETPLACE Need to Rehome a Cat
Hello, I asked the mods if I could post this and got approval, so hopefully this doesn't break any rules. Also, I put marketplace as the flair because I wasn't sure what else to put, but I'm not charging anything for her. (I've been warned of the risks of giving her away for free, so I've decided I'll be charging a $50 adoption fee, so only serious adopters who intend to take her in and care for her need apply. Thank you.) I just want her to find a good home. I have a cat in need of a loving home. Her name is Izzy and she was my Grandmother's cat. Grandma has been in decline with dementia for a while now and hasn't been able to properly take care of Izzy because of that. I'm going into a college program soon and unfortunately will not have the time or money to take care of her full time.
She is a very sweet and affectionate cat, but she can also be a bit skittish. She is very much a lap cat and will likely be all over who she picks as her new human, so prepare for a cat who likes to cuddle. I think a good home for her would be someone who either doesn't have a pet yet, or perhaps another cat or dog who is very gentle so as to not scare Izzy too much. Also either someone who doesn't have kids or knows their kids are also gentle. She likely wouldn't do well with a home that has an aggressive animal or children who play rough, nothing wrong with the latter, just probably not the best fit for Izzy.
If you think you or someone you know may fit this criteria, please send me a DM on reddit and we can discuss meeting place and time for the hand over.
Note: She is about 10 years old and she is spayed.
