Get Started NowReal stories from cat owners who found perfect breeding matches on Petmeetly
We found a lovely female cat through Petmeetly, and she mated with our male cat. We’re now expecting kittens soon! We also discovered another perfect candidate—our male cat has already mated with one, and will mate with the other once she reaches maturity. We’re so glad to have this platform—it truly helped us find the right matches
