Hollywood Feed allows approved rescues to hold adoption events at their stores, but they do not take cats being surrendered by their owners. If you need to rehome your cat, you’ll need to consider other available options and understand that some are better than others. If you’re willing to put in a little time, you’ll be able to find a happy new home for your cat.
This is the easiest and fastest way to surrender your cat—but the downside can be heartbreaking. Many shelters are moving towards a no-kill philosophy, but some still need to euthanize for space. Before you surrender your cat to a shelter, do some rehome_research to learn whether or not they are a no-kill facility. 
Reputable private rescues sometimes accept owner surrenders, but it may take a lot of phone calls to find one that will have space available. If you do find one, it may involve a wait as many quality rescues are usually at capacity.
The best option is to rehome your cat yourself. Yes, it may take some time and you’ll have to put some work in, but your cat deserves a second chance at being loved and happy. You may not know how to start, where to find adopters, or how to choose a good home, but there are resources to help you with all of that.
One of the best is Rehome. You’ll be able to create a pet profile, answer questions from potential adopters, screen applicants, and more. You’ll also find lots of expert advice to help you select the perfect home.
And that’s a happy ending for both you and your cat.
