Ensuring the parent is correct

Varied breeds of cats/kittens have different food and environmental requirements; ensure that any potential owner is aware of these requirements and has the capacity and expertise to care for the cat/kitten.

Inform any potential owner about the cat's/kitten’s needs, likes, and the costs associated with caring for it; furthermore, pay attention to any questions they may ask,  if they don't seem to care about the animal's health and well-being, they may not be the proper person/people to rehome it.

Pass on all health information

Consider neutering or spaying the cat/kitten if it is 4 months or older before rehoming. This will avoid unwanted roaming, spraying, and unintended pregnancies, which will be a burden on the new owners and maybe animal rescue centres.

Please make sure any potential new owners are aware of the cat's/kitten’s health and medical history.

Pass on the paperwork

Ensure that any paperwork, veterinarian information and medical history, is given passed onto the new owners.

Are you happy with the new owner?

Just because someone looks at your cat/kitten doesn't mean you have to give it to them; if you don't feel the individual is the right person, simply say no. It demonstrates that your first interest is for your cat's/kitten’s well-being.
