What information makes a listing clearer and safer?

Clear photos and an honest description: daily routine, compatibility (kids/other animals), personality, time alone, energy level, and any relevant health info (diet/medication if applicable). This reduces “blind” messages and makes screening easier.

How do I screen requests without making it feel harsh?

Use short, human questions: schedule, experience, home type, who lives in the household, time alone, and whether they can meet first. The goal is to avoid impulse adoptions and reduce the risk of returns.

Should I arrange a meet-and-greet first?

Yes. A calm meet-and-greet helps confirm the match and reduces stress. If the pet is shy or reactive, this step is especially important.

What should an adoption contract include?

Basic details of both parties, the pet’s details (including microchip number), date and place of handover, care expectations, and what happens if the adoption does not work out (return/re-home responsibly). If there are treatments or routines, include them too.

How can I make the first days easier for the adopter and the pet?

Share a simple routine sheet (food, walks/litter, fears, calming cues), a bit of the usual food, and a familiar item (blanket/toy). Fewer sudden changes usually means a smoother adaptation.

What helps the most with adaptation

Sharing a clear routine (food, walks/litter, fears, known quirks) makes a big difference. If there is medication or a special diet, keep instructions simple and, if possible, provide what is needed for the first days.
