From playful kittens to grateful seniors - find your perfect match
Adult cats are often overlooked but make wonderful companions. They're past the destructive kitten phase, have established personalities, and are incredibly grateful for second chances. Many shelters offer reduced or waived fees for cats over 1 year old. Give an adult cat the loving home they deserve.

Real stories from cat owners who found perfect companions on Petmeetly
Very grateful to Petmeetly! I found Cola, a 10-year-old black cat who is experienced with dogs and the outdoors, and is so affectionate and sweet. He’s settling in slowly, as cats do, and gaining more confidence every day. His previous owner so generously gave me his scratchers, food bowl, bed, remaining food, litter box, brush, water fountain, and even his adorable bow-tie collar. He was very sad to part with him, but may visit to say one last goodbye ☺️ I hadn’t wanted to go through shelters, and Petmeetly felt so much more personal. I was able to learn about Cola’s health, past life, and his likes and needs. Keep doing amazing work — many blessings to you! 🙌

Everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, he lived too far away and had no means of transportation.

We found a loving home for Valentino, but I’d like to keep the ad active so people can see what our kittens look like.
