How easy would it be to surrender my pet cat to a shelter? What would cause them to say no?

I am in the process of re-entering the military (active duty). I am single with no dependents, but have a cat. None of my nearby family members are willing to adopt him. How easy would it be to surrender him to a shelter? What would cause them to say no?

Find a no kill shelter in your area. They rarely turn them away unless he’s diseased or ill beyond recovery.

You could look up no kill shelters or find any kind of rescue or foster places. Yes there are cat rescues - my SIL works for one and she fosters a lot of cats/kittens. Some she has even nursed back to health that were nearly dead.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff That's good to know that there are cat rescues also. We did Golden Retriever rescue years ago. We ended up keeping a couple of the goldens we rescued, not because we couldn't find them a home, because we became too attached to them. They lived out their lives with us.

Personally I would have a really difficult time surrendering my pet to a shelter but that is me. Maybe put in an ad in the paper? I know there are dog rescue operations but never heard of a cat rescue but maybe contact a rescue and see if they can help. There may even be someone on here willing to take the cat. Where do you live? Best of luck to you and your furry friend.

SPC July Macias - Wow! Before I moved to Tennessee I lived on the North side of Chicago (Broadway and Brynn Marr), LaGrange, Schiller Park and the south side near 55th and Kedzie. Let's hope someone one on here from your area reads this and decides to take care of your kitty. I don't know if they are still there or remember the name, but I know there was a no kill shelter in Bensenville before we moved. We got a cat there once.
