Why Are You Looking To Rehome? *

How many cats are you looking to rehome? (if you are wishing to rehome more than 2 cats then you will need to fill in multiple applications) *

Do the cats you are wanting to rehome get along with each other? (do they ever fight?, do they avoid each other? do they groom each other and sleep near each other?) *

Is there a date that the cat must be rehomed by? (i.e. date that you move abroad or move house)

Would you prefer that the cat/s stayed with you until a home is found for them?

We recommend contacting Blue Cross about their Home Direct scheme or contacting petrehomer.org as they are both charitable organisations that can help find a home for your cat/s without the need for them to come into a shelter. The Sheffield Cats Shelter is not able to do this type of rehoming.

Please take the cat to a vet, they will check the cat for a microchip for free, if the cat has a microchip they may then be returned to their owner. Please do this before filling in a rehoming form.

If you have already tried to locate an owner, please tell us the steps you have taken. (I.e., paper collar, posters, door knocking, social media, lost and found pet sites such as PetsLocated.com) *

If you are registering a stray cat we would ask you to first see the advice at: www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/cats/straycats. If the cat is injured, you should contact the RSPCA national helpline on 0300 1234 999.
