How do you find families for animals? I have tried with some cats but it's so hard, nobody wants to adopt them
Yea cats seem to have "over-saturated" the pet market so to speak. I do not rescue cats unfortunately; it would be hard to have cats with the different types I do have.
I use Oodle.com, Ebay, Craigslist; I heavily screen with home visits and picture ID so I know who I am dealing with. Most of them I have the people come to my house to meet the pet and see if it is a fit, ask them about care and such, then I make a home visit taking the pet just in case it is a good place. If they have pets I do call their vet just to make sure they didn't give me just any name; I like to know that they have a go to in case of emergency.
And for the first month I actually call once a week, visit once to see how the pet interacts and basically if they aren't comfortable with the process then I turn them down. I don't normally charge anything for the adoption.
