• Where to lookIn order to attract a great home, post flyers in veterinarians’ offices, pet supply stores,your gym and your workplace. Include a good color photo of the cat on the flyer –pictures make all the difference. The photo should clearly show the cat’s face, be infocus, and be appealing. Talk to local rescue groups who show their cats in stores or atadoption events and see if you can borrow a cage for a weekend. You can post your caton Craig’s List (www.craigslist.com) as long as you’ll only be charging a small adoptionfee (sales of animals are not allowed). For Craig’s List, after you select your location, thebest place to list your ad is under “Pets” in the “Community” section.The largest online adoption service is Petfinder (www.petfinder.com). Only animalwelfare groups registered with Petfinder can post, so you’ll want to team up with ashelter, TNR or rescue group in your area and ask if they’ll post your kitty on their page.Or help them get a page if they don’t already have one. Also check out Adopt-a-Pet.com(www.adoptapet.com), another resource where shelters and rescue groups can postavailable pets.photo: Denise Szalaiko146
