Unpopular opinion apparently, but can’t we all just at least entertain the idea that rehoming a pet isn’t the absolute worst thing you could possibly do? Can we at least be open to the possibility of rehoming - and I’m talking about rehoming, taking proper time to screen possible homes and picking the most suitable one, not dumping them anywhere - sometimes even being the best option, even (or especially) for the animal? That it does not automatically make you selfish and irresponsible?

Pet owners losing heart or ability is never ideal, and ideally shouldn’t happen but it does, life happens, shit happens, and I personally feel that it sometimes may be better to look for a new and better situation than forcing a bad one out of pride or stigma. Nobody should be trapped in unhappy circumstances. That goes for animals, too.

I really really love my car, who was rehomed to me because her previous owner had moved in with someone who also had a cat, and they were fighting too much. My cat spent all her time hiding under the couch and was just miserable. Four years later she is the sweetest most affectionate cat to everyone she meets and I am so happy we could give her the happy life her previous owner wanted for her!
