My neighbor has a kitten by the name of Prince, but they have recently disowned him. They won't feed him, let him inside, they won't even love on him. So now, he comes to my house everyday. He's soooo cute and lovable, and I WANT to take care of him, but he fights with my other cats. They don't like him, but he needs a home... Help?

If you're really wanting to keep him, do some research on introducing cats. Depending on your cats they may or may not accept him, as some are quite particular, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
If you keeping him won't work out, start posting on places like Facebook/Craigslist that you're looking for a home for him; making flyers may work as well.
You could also consider animal shelter/rescue surrender, but if you can find him a good home on your own...


Check out this site and maybe look into her books, as well

Thank you for the tips, but in my town, giving someone a cat is NEVER a good idea. I'm surrounded by teenagers, and even ADULTS who like to beat and even kill animals (mostly cats) for fun. I don't even trust the pet shelters! But I'll look into getting my other cats to accept him. If you have any further tips on that, I would be most appreciative cat_3nodding

I'd charge a rehoming fee to cut down on the likelihood of him ending up in the wrong hands. It's not, of course, a guarantee, but it will decrease the number of people wanting for the wrong intentions.

I haven't ever personally done introductions between multiple cats, so I don't have much in the way of tips, but I'm pretty sure the site I posted before has articles on it

Well, thank you very much.

In regard to introing cats, please keep the newcomer away from the resident cats for awhile, in a seperate room is best. In the "safe room" make sure all the needs are met (food, water, litter box) and give your kitties time to adjust.

Once your kitties get adjusted to the new smells of the newcomer, do subtle intros through the door or room swaps. Eventually they will learn that this new cat is just a member of the family.

Is the newcomer fixed? Are your kitties indoors only?

Only one cat is indoor, and that's because he only has three legs. But the others have gotten used to him, now, so thank you for the tips. It's just my mama cat that dislikes him.
