Overview
“A pet is for life, not just for Christmas.” We’ve all heard the saying, and no responsible pet owner would welcome a cat to their home if they ever had the intention of giving her up in the future. But sometimes life throws changes at us that we couldn’t predict, and giving up our cat is the only possible option.
Perhaps you’re offered a promotion which means relocating overseas. Maybe you’ve developed a serious allergy to your pet, which means keeping her risks damaging your health. Maybe your own health has deteriorated, and you need to move to a nursing home.
