Why Are You Looking To Rehome? *

If the reason for rehoming the cat/s is due to a behavioural issue (aggressive behaviour, inappropriate toileting etc), please tell us when this behaviour began... *

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?

What support would you require, to allow you to keep the cat/s, instead of rehoming?

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.

Are you the legal owner of the cat/s you are registering to rehome? *

Yes
No

If no, please confirm the legal owner of the cat/s, how/why you have become involved in the rehoming process, and confirm that you have expressed permission from the owner to rehome. *

How many cats are you looking to rehome? (if you are wishing to rehome more than 3 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?) *

Please give the other cats names and relationship to this cat (ie. siblings, mother, not biologically related, etc) *
