What is Rehome?
If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
Trixie is an incredibly friendly, sweet cat who loves nothing better than snuggling with her humans (including our 7- and 6-year-old boys). She’s (about) 16 years old and spent most of her life with our other cat, Tupelo, who passed away in 2021 (we adopted them together as kittens in 2008). Trixie did well after the birth of our first two kids, but ever since our third child became mobile, Trixie has been anxious. She's fine the majority of the time, but whenever there is a change to her routine, she pees outside the litter box. Some examples of instances that have made her anxious include replacing us a couch, tiling a laundry room, and our family leaving for a short trip (she typically sleeps in our boys' room and I think the change to her routine - no boys to sleep with - caused her anxiety). After trying a multitude of different calming techniques, my husband and I think it best to find Trixie a new, stress-free home with humans who will love her.
