While not a breed of their own, tuxedo cats get their name from their beautiful markings which, as evident by their name, make them look as if they are wearing tuxedos. When putting a tuxedo cat up for adoption, it's important to use its particular appeal to help it find a new home.
Instructions
1. Think about what your tuxedo cat needs in its new home. Write down whether it is good with other cats, dogs, other animals and children. Note any special needs, such as dietary restrictions. Write a short paragraph detailing the tuxedo cat's personality, markings and any other information you feel is necessary for its adoptive owners to know. Describing a tuxedo cat will help entice anyone who is familiar with the particular look of this type of cat.
2. Take two or three good photos of the cat from different angles. Upload them to your computer and save in an accessible place. Photos will help show the visual appeal of a tuxedo cat.
3. Set a suitable re-homing fee for your tuxedo cat. Rescue organizations usually charge enough to cover some of the costs of taking care of the animal, such as vet bills or food bills. Do not ask an unreasonable amount--you are not selling the tuxedo cat, but helping it find a loving home.
4. Advertise the tuxedo cat's need for a new home. Depending on your location, there may be rescue groups that work specifically with tuxedo cats that could post your tuxedo cat in their adoption list. If there are no specialist groups in your area, post your tuxedo cat's profile on a reputable rescue website. Include your e-mail address so potential adopters can contact you.
5. Screen potential adopters for suitability. Invite them over to meet the cat and see how they interact with it. Ask the potential adopters questions about their routines, their home, and their lifestyle before agreeing to allow the adoption.
6. Have the adopters sign a contract stating that they will care for the tuxedo cat, spay or neuter if necessary, and that they will return the tuxedo cat to you if they can no longer care for it. Example pet adoption contracts are widely available online.
