Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nepal Pets an animal shelter?

No. Nepal Pets is a listing platform for pet adoption and lost or found pets in Nepal. Individual owners and caretakers supply listings. Nepal Pets does not house the listed animals or operate a shelter.

What types of pets can I find?

Browse the adoption listings to see which pets are currently listed. Availability changes, so contact the owner or caretaker through the pet's listing to confirm the details.

Are adoption and posting free?

Nepal Pets provides a free listing platform. This does not guarantee that every caretaker's adoption arrangement or pet care expense is free. Ask the caretaker about any requirements or costs before agreeing to adopt.

How do I adopt a pet through Nepal Pets?

Browse adoption listings, open a pet's page, and use the available contact options to reach the owner or caretaker. Confirm availability, discuss the pet's needs, and agree on arrangements directly with them. Nepal Pets does not run an adoption counselor or home inspection service.

Do I need an account to post a listing?

No registration is required to submit a public pet listing. Choose adoption, missing, or found on the listing form and provide accurate pet details, a clear photo, a location, and your preferred contact information.

What should a missing pet report include?

Include a recent photo, the pet's name, species, appearance, identifying features, and the date and location last seen. Provide contact details you are comfortable sharing according to the listing form and privacy policy.

How can I avoid mistaken ownership claims?

Ask a person claiming a found pet for evidence such as earlier photos, veterinary records, or identifying details you have not published. Agree on a safe handover and do not treat an online claim alone as proof of ownership.

What should I do if I lose my pet?

1. Search nearby streets and familiar places, and ask neighbors for recent sightings.
2. Post a missing pet report with a clear photo, last seen location, and date.
3. Share the report with local community groups and contact nearby veterinary clinics or animal welfare organizations.
4. Put up missing pet posters and follow up on sightings carefully.
5. When reunited, contact Nepal Pets to request a listing update.

For future prevention, discuss identification tags and microchipping options with a veterinarian.

What should I do if I find a lost pet?

1. Approach only if it is safe. Check for an identification tag and contact the owner if one is present.
2. Ask a nearby veterinary clinic whether it can check for a microchip.
3. Post a found pet report and share found pet posters locally.
4. Keep a few identifying details private so you can verify anyone claiming ownership.
5. After a handover, contact Nepal Pets to request a listing update.
