Protected contact is designed to keep phone sharing request-based and purpose-limited. Contact details should be used only for the adoption or rehoming conversation that allowed them.
Some listers may choose direct contact preferences where supported. Direct contact still requires responsible use, truthful listings, and respect for privacy and safety rules.
Adopter readiness and lister review help structure important questions before contact or listing visibility. They are not identity verification, background checks, official certification, or safety guarantees.
Use reports for suspicious listings, scams, harassment, unsafe meetups, misuse of contact details, or animal welfare concerns. Blocking can help reduce unwanted contact where supported.
•
Ask clear questions before meeting, including health, behavior, history, routine, and follow-up expectations.
•
Meet in safe, appropriate places and tell someone you trust where you are going.
•
Do not send money outside the intended adoption or rehoming purpose, and be cautious of deposits, urgency, or pressure.
•
For urgent danger to people or animals, contact the appropriate local emergency, veterinary, animal-welfare, or legal authority.
Purrfect does not guarantee safety, adoption outcomes, pet health, pet behavior, user identity, or legal ownership. Purrfect is not an emergency, veterinary, legal, law-enforcement, or rescue service.
