Questions people actually ask
How matching, verification and contact work
If something here is not answered, mail us and it gets added.
Yes. Browsing and searching are free and need no account. A free account publishes listings, messages any member up to ten times a day, and sees the top 3 of every ranked list with the same reasons a paid one gets. Premium is Rs 349 a month: unlimited messages, the whole ranked list, contact details you can share, three Direct Connect credits and three featured days.
It is a number out of 100 built from nine signals: the same breed or a related one, the same city or the same region, an age inside the breeding window for that breed, a lister whose documents an admin has checked, vaccinated, registered, and a listing published recently. Every signal that scored is shown to you alongside the number.
If no candidate satisfies your search, the engine widens one constraint rather than returning nothing, and it tells you which one: breed, location or similarity. You are never shown a relaxed result that pretends to be an exact one.
You do not get them by default. Contact information is never in a public response. You talk through the inbox, or spend a Direct Connect credit to reveal a lister's details. That is what the credit buys.
No. The United States and India are two marketplaces sharing one deployment. A candidate in the other market never appears in your results, by design rather than by filter.
No. Money never touches a score. Featured listings appear in labelled positions in browse, and the reasons behind a match have no word for payment.
Listings
Publishing a pet, keeping a listing live, and taking it down.
Dogs, cats and rabbits. Each listing is one pet, offered for one purpose: breeding, adoption, sale or a playmate.
Some new or higher-risk listings are checked by our team before they go live, and a photo already used on another listing is flagged. You are told when it is approved, or why it is not.
As long as you are active. If you have not signed in for 90 days your listings are hidden, with a warning a week before. Signing in again brings them back.
Yes, any time, from your listings. A paused listing leaves browse and matching until you turn it back on.
No. Browsing and searching are open to everyone. You only sign up to list a pet or message a member.
Messaging and Safety
Talking to members, keeping your details private, and reporting a problem.
So every member you talk to is a reachable person. You confirm a number with a code the first time you list a pet or send a message. The number is never shown on your profile.
Ten a day on a free account, unlimited on Premium.
Do not pay before you have met the owner and the pet. PetsFindly never handles payments, so any request for money through PetsFindly is a scam. Report the member from your inbox.
Use the Report button on the listing, or on the member in your inbox. Reports go to our moderation queue. If an animal or a person is in danger, contact your local authorities first.
From your account settings. Your listings come down at once, and your account is removed for good after 30 days.
Breeding
What PetsFindly checks before a mating, and what stays between owners.
No. Results are shared by owners and labelled that way. Ask for the original certificates and talk to your veterinarian before you rely on them.
Each breed has an age window, set deliberately strict. A pet inside it scores for age, and one outside it does not.
The owners. Stud fees, pick of litter and repeat matings are agreed and paid between you, in writing, before anyone travels. PetsFindly takes no cut.
Yes. Stud cats and queens are matched the same way as dogs, and profiles can show PKD and HCM results when owners share them.
