Our Austin cat rehoming services are gentle, respectful, and completely private. We’ll help you navigate this emotional process with empathy and professionalism, all while ensuring your cat’s physical and emotional needs are prioritized every step of the way.
Whether you’re facing health issues, moving to non-pet housing, or your cat is struggling to adapt to a multi-pet household, we’re here to help. Our team works closely with you to learn about your cat’s personality, preferences, and history — and we use that information to find a new home where your cat can truly thrive.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pet Rehoming Services
We understand that placing your pet’s future in someone else’s hands is a big decision. Here are answers to some of the most common questions families ask us about how we work and what makes us different.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Rehoming in Austin, TX
Will my pet miss me after rehoming?
Yes, it’s likely your pet will miss you initially. Animals are emotionally aware and bond deeply with their people. However, pets are also incredibly resilient. With time, love, and patience from their new family, most pets adapt and thrive in their new environment. We do everything we can to match them with a family that suits their personality and needs.
How do I cope with the grief of rehoming my pet?
It’s completely normal to grieve this decision. Rehoming a pet is an emotional experience, and it’s completely normal to feel grief, guilt, or even doubt. You’re not alone. We offer emotional support throughout the process and help you stay involved in your pet’s journey as much as you’re comfortable with. Many of our clients feel peace knowing their pet is safe, happy, and loved. We’re here to support you, offer reassurance, and help you feel confident that you’re doing the right thing for your pet’s long-term well-being.
Is it normal to feel guilty when rehoming a pet?
Yes. Guilt often comes from how much you care. But making a responsible, loving decision — even when it’s hard — is something to be proud of. Choosing to rehome through our service ensures your pet’s next home is one that’s carefully screened and genuinely prepared to provide a great life.
How long does it take to find a home for my pet?
Each case is different, and every pet is different. So many different factors can affect time frames, from your pet’s breed, age, personality – even color, to the time of year, and your location. Some pets are adopted in a matter of days, while others may take weeks or longer.
We’ll create a personalized rehoming plan and promote your pet on top adoption platforms, social media, and within our private network to ensure they get maximum visibility, and keep the momentum going until your pet has found a loving new home. There is no limit to the amount of time we will continue our search for your pet’s new home.
Do you guarantee that a home will be found?
While we can’t promise a specific timeline, we are fully committed to helping you find a safe, loving home for your pet and will keep working with you until that happens. While we can’t guarantee an adoption within a specific time frame, our team works diligently to find a loving match. We screen every application thoroughly and keep you informed along the way. If no suitable home is found quickly, we’ll work with you to adjust your listing or rehoming strategy.
Why do I have to pay in advance?
Your fee covers the upfront work involved—intake, writing, promotion, and screening. We invest a great deal of time and care from the moment you sign up, offering our expertise and skill at getting your pet noticed by the right adopters, as well as the advertising costs involved in finding a new home for your pet. Once we begin, your pet receives personalized service, including a detailed adoption profile, custom graphics, outreach, and ongoing support — all of which require significant effort up front.
Where will my pet be advertised?
We promote your pet on high-traffic pet adoption platforms, social media channels, and through our private waiting list of potential adopters. We use professional storytelling, targeted marketing, and beautiful graphics to help your pet stand out.
Do you foster pets?
No. We are not a rescue or shelter and do not house pets. Our service is designed to help pet owners keep their pets at home while we find a suitable new family. This gives you peace of mind and gives your pet stability while the transition is made.
I need to find my pet a home immediately. Can you help?
If you’re in an emergency situation, we may be able to prioritize your case or suggest other options. However, rehoming the right way takes time. We don’t cut corners — our process is designed to find a great home, not just any home. If you need urgent help, contact us right away and we’ll explore what’s possible.
What makes you different from Adopt-a-Pet or other rehoming sites?
We offer one-on-one, hands-on support that most listing platforms can’t provide. We offer hands-on, personalized support every step of the way. We screen applicants for you, communicate with potential adopters, help arrange safe meetings, and provide legal adoption agreements. Our approach is compassionate, discreet, and focused on finding the best possible match. We also support you emotionally through one of life’s most difficult circumstances.
Can I speak with someone on the phone about rehoming my pet?
Yes. Once you’ve submitted your preliminary information, we’re happy to schedule a phone call to discuss your situation, answer questions, and walk you through the next steps. We understand this is a sensitive decision and we’re here to help.
How much does it cost to rehome my pet through Pet Rehoming Network?
Our rehoming services start at $95 CAD (basic listing support) and go up depending on the level of assistance you need. Most clients choose our Standard or Premium plans, which include custom graphics, nationwide marketing, adopter screening, and follow-up. We’ll recommend the right plan for your situation during the intake process.
Can I get a refund if my pet doesn’t find a home?
Because the bulk of our work is done up front — including intake, graphic design, and promotion — we are not able to offer refunds. However, we’ll continue working with you for as long as it takes, within the scope of your chosen plan. Your success is our goal.
Do you provide in-person pet rehoming services in Austin?
While our services are primarily virtual, we do cater to Austin residents with special care. Most of the process — from application to interviews — happens online or by phone, but we do everything we can to keep things local when possible. We’ll prioritize Austin-area adopters for your pet.
How is Pet Rehoming Network different from Austin rescues or shelters?
We focus on helping pet owners like you rehome directly to a loving new family — without the stress of surrendering to a shelter. Unlike local rescues, we don’t take ownership of your pet. You stay involved, and we support you with expert marketing and adopter screening to ensure your pet goes to the best possible home.
Will my pet be rehomed within Austin, or can they go elsewhere?
We always try to find an ideal home locally first. If no suitable match is found nearby, we may consider approved adopters from other Texas cities or even further — depending on your preferences. Either way, all adopters are fully screened to ensure your pet’s safety and happiness.
Still have questions? Reach out to us — we’re always here to help, with no judgment and no pressure.
