Frequently Asked Questions

It's a free pet classifieds platform for selling, adoption, rehoming, and finding a new home—plus helpful resources.

Yes—everything is free. No hidden charges for “posting,” “boosting,” or “replies.”

No. You don’t need a card to create an account or post a listing.

Cats, dogs, rabbits, small pets/rodents, birds, reptiles, fish, and other companion animals (within the platform rules).

Yes. This is for shelters/rescues and for individuals rehoming a pet.

Shelters/rescues, responsible breeders, and private owners.

18+ only. If you’re under 18, do not register or message anyone through the platform.

Create an account → fill out the listing profile → add photos → publish. Then people can message you.

At minimum: species/breed, age, location, description, transfer terms (price/free), photos, and how to contact you.

Recommended: minimum 5 clear photos (no messenger screenshots). Photos must be yours.

Yes. You can change the text, photos, price, and status (active/inactive) anytime.

Messaging is free and unlimited. Chat to confirm details and request more photos/videos.

Yes, but we recommend starting with a few messages in chat to filter out suspicious people. Don’t share personal details with everyone.

We monitor and moderate content/activity and provide a reporting system. But 100% protection doesn’t exist—common sense comes first. (Don’t expect the platform to “vet” a person for you.)

Stop the conversation, tap Report, add a short description and (if possible) screenshots/details. We’ll review and take action.

Yes, but this is the highest-risk area. If you’re a buyer—don’t send a deposit to a stranger without a video call, verification, and reasonable documentation. If you’re a seller—be transparent and put terms in writing.

We do not recommend “shipping without meeting.” Best practice is an in-person meeting in a safe place, with a chance to see the pet and conditions.

We’re building/planning a Pet Services section: vet clinics, grooming, trainers, boarding, transport, and more.

Message support and we’ll guide you through the steps. Privacy requests have a dedicated contact.
