Meet Pre-Loved Cats
Private adoption can give you a fuller picture of a cat’s personality, habits, health, routine and home life. Read each adoption profile carefully and consider the individual cat rather than choosing on breed or appearance alone.
Apply to Adopt
Found a cat who seems like a wonderful match? Our adoption application helps the owner learn more about you and the home you can offer.
Need to Rehome Your Cat?
Having to rehome a beloved cat can be difficult, but you do not have to hand your cat over to a stranger or place them unnecessarily into an unfamiliar environment. With Pet Rehoming Network’s owner-assisted approach, your cat stays with you throughout the rehoming process while we help search for a suitable new home.
Potential adopters can meet you and your cat, learn about your cat directly from you, and ask questions. You remain involved and decide who you believe is the right person or family for your cat.

Cat Adoption & Rehoming FAQ
Where can I find cats for adoption near me?
Start with our current pet adoption listings and the breed/type directory on this page. Availability changes as owners contact Pet Rehoming Network for help finding new homes for their cats.
Can I adopt a cat directly from its owner?
Yes. Pet Rehoming Network specializes in private, owner-to-owner adoption. This allows prospective adopters to learn about an individual cat from the person who knows that cat best and, when appropriate, arrange a meet-and-greet.
Can Pet Rehoming Network help me find a home for my cat?
Yes. We help caring owners present and promote their cats, manage adoption inquiries and applications, evaluate prospective homes, prepare for meet-and-greets, and navigate the transition to a new home.
Does my cat have to leave my home while you look for an adopter?
No. Your cat stays with you during the rehoming process. This keeps your cat in familiar surroundings and allows you to remain directly involved in choosing a new home.
Who chooses the adopter?
You do. Pet Rehoming Network provides guidance, tools and screening assistance, but the owner decides whether an applicant is the right match for their cat.
What if the breed I want is not currently available?
Check back regularly and consider browsing all available cats. Breed can be useful when researching a pet, but personality, age, health, activity level and compatibility with your household are often more important to a successful adoption.
