01
Start with the full pet story
Read the listing carefully before contacting a lister. Consider age, health notes, temperament, routine, needs around children or other pets, and why the pet is being rehomed.
02
Use saved pets thoughtfully
Saving a pet helps you compare options without starting contact. It should not be treated as a reservation or adoption approval.
03
Request contact when ready
Protected contact flows are designed to keep phone sharing purpose-limited and request-based. Use shared contact details only for the specific adoption conversation that allowed them.
04
Adopter responsibilities
•
Be honest about your home, experience, timing, and ability to provide care.
•
Ask clear questions about health, behavior, routine, veterinary history, and follow-up expectations.
•
Meet in safe, appropriate places and avoid pressure, rushed handoffs, or money requests outside the adoption/rehoming purpose.
Purrfect does not guarantee that a pet will be available, that a lister will choose you, that an adoption will be completed, or that any person or pet will behave in a particular way.
