Safety and reporting

Every new or edited listing goes to a moderator before it appears in the feed. Until then you will see it marked “On moderation” on your profile.

• Animals offered for sale, breeding or fighting.
• Photos or descriptions that are misleading or not yours.
• Harassment, hate speech, spam and scams.
• Sexual or violent content.
• Anything illegal under Indian law, including the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.

Open the ⋯ menu on a listing, a comment or a profile and choose Complain. Pick a reason — spam, scam, animal welfare, sexual content, harassment, hate speech or other — and that is all we need. Your report goes to our moderators, not to the other person.

Blocking hides their listings and comments from you, and yours from them. You can unblock at any time in Settings → Blocked users.

Moderators review reports and can take a listing down, remove a comment or suspend an account. We aim to act on every report within 24 hours.

Adoptly connects people directly; we are not a party to any adoption or agreement between users. Meet in a public place when you can, and use good judgement before handing over or receiving an animal.
