Lead with the facts
- Species, breed or mix, age or date of birth, sex, desexed status, and location (suburb or region).
- Sale, rehome or adoption — say which, and the price or that it is a rehome.
- Vaccinations, microchip, and any ongoing medication in plain language.
- One sentence on personality: calm apartment cat, high-energy working dog, beginner-friendly fish, and so on.
Photos that help
Use daylight, show the whole animal, and add one face close-up. For aquatics, show the tank and the fish clearly. Blurry dark photos slow everything down.
Do not use only filters or someone else’s photos. Buyers notice, and it destroys trust.
What to say about challenges
Mention barking, separation anxiety, litter quirks, dietary needs or “needs experienced owner” up front. Hiding problems creates returns and bad outcomes for the animal.
Keep medical detail factual. Soften language if you want, but do not omit the important bit.
Finish with next steps
Say how you prefer to meet (park, home visit, carrier ready) and that you will ask a few home questions. Then publish on MateLoop and reply to serious messages promptly.
