Rehoming a Cat

I took in an incredibly sweet stray cat that my friend had been feeding. My friend cared for her so much but had never had a cat before and when she found out she was pregnant she panicked about litter in the house ect and was very overwhelmed, so I offered to give her a home.

I’m an experienced cat owner, but the former stray doesn’t get on with my own cat and they fight a lot. I’ve tried pheromone plug ins, calming treats and sprays and keeping them separate, but the stress of living together is starting to impact them both and I feel terrible. I want them both to have the happiest life possible, but right now they’re both stressed and I don’t know what to do.

If I post on FB or Instagram about trying to rehome the former stray I’m worried my friend will see it and either be upset that I’m trying to rehome her, or feel guilty that I’m struggling to handle them. The same goes for dropping her to a sanctuary, which was my initial plan, but the cat is a little shy and doesn’t get on well with other animals- after living on the street and being previously abandoned it would break my heart to put her in that environment.

Does anybody know of a person looking for a sweet, quiet little companion who could offer a peaceful home with some safe outdoor space? I’d be so grateful, as I’m currently in tears trying to do what’s best for both of my fur babies.
