Born on the street.
One person away from home.

A volunteer-run virtual adoption centre for Pune's community cats.

We find their person.

Not a shelter — a network. A healthy stray in Pune has no government system waiting for it, only rescuers who refuse to look away. catadoption_pune lists and vets the cats they save — Baner, Kothrud, Viman Nagar, Kharadi, Pimple Saudagar and beyond — and matches each one with a genuinely good home.

Three steps, one human in the loop.

1 · Browse

New cats post on Instagram first — photos, age, neighbourhood, and the rescuer's note.

2 · Connect

The rescuer's contact is in every post. They know the cat best, and they'll ask a few questions — that's the good-fit check working.

3 · Adopt

Meet the cat, collect the vaccination records, and go home together. Your rescuer stays a message away.

Indie cats. Shy cats. Older cats. Just as wonderful as any expensive breed.

Make space for one. They'll take care of the rest.

We never charge a rupee. Not the rescuer, not you.
