I’d start with seeing if you can put up a note at your vets. They might have people who have other pets & they can vouch for both you and the other person.

We rehomed a dog who hated one of my four kids on Kajiji. We met the people, saw where they lived and vetted them in person. It worked out well. He went to live on a literal farm with teenagers. Much better for him.

Rehoming is hard.

Thanks! I'm not in the mood to argue with a rescue agency

Good idea about the vet-- thank you And thanks for sharing your success story!

This situation reminds me of when we had a second cat for a while-- poor Minion was terrorized every second of every day and was SO miserable (this was pre-baby). When we managed to give the second cat back to their original owners about a year later, Minion was SO much happier. I just know she will be happier in a home without kids because I remember what she was like before we had KO, ya know?
