Her name is Jill..
She was a stray, is 2 years old a patch tabby. She doesn't get along
with my cat, which is why she has to go.

How long have you had Jill? Sometimes it takes months, even years for cats
to get along. For info visit this page:
http://www.flippyscatpage.com/health.html and look under INTRODUCING PETS.

Please let me know how you go.

It's NEVER a good idea to offer a companion animal (or any other animal for
that matter) "free to a good home." If she's not spayed, then you should
make that a condition of the adoption and charge enough to cover the vet
bill for spaying and go ahead and do that before turning the cat over to its
new owner. Otherwise you attract people who collect cats to do things to
them other than dangle cat toys in front of them. If Jill is already
spayed, then I suggest having the person make out a check to your local SPCA
and give it to you. This at least keeps the riff raff away.

But better still are the other suggestions here about either waiting to see
what the cats will do or placing her with a pet adoption agency, which is in
a far better position (time and resources) to screen potential pet owners
than you would be.

Thank you everyone, for the great suggestions.. I've been spending
more time with both cats (Jack and Jill) together and they are getting
a little more friendlier towards eachother. At least Jill is now just
hissing and not batting at Jack! I read a few things off Flippy's
website and it was really helpful. I'll keep at it and see how things
go..

Thanks so much! This is a great group with real animal lovers!

While I agree with patience, if you were thinking of passing the cat
on it would help somewhat to give some idea of where you are.

Darwin, Australia? Paris, France? Ottawa, Canada? New Orleans, USA?
