Terms of Use: Cat Adoption / Foster on Catopidia

Version: 2026-10-07-b4

⚠️ Draft, not legal advice. This text has not been reviewed by a lawyer.

Effective from: 7 October 2026

1. What the service is

Catopidia (catopidia.pages.dev, "we") is run by Danny (an individual, Thanh Xuân, Hà Nội). The "Adopt / Foster" section shows cats that need a home. We write and publish every listing ourselves, based on verified rescue groups or on people who message us. The site has no accounts, no user posts and no chat between users. We only connect people. We do not own, keep, treat or transport any cat. The service is free. Listings show no prices, and we are not a party to any payment.

2. How to contact us

Send every request (listing a cat, asking to adopt or foster, reporting a problem, data questions) only to:

Include the listing code (e.g. CAT-012) and use the message template on the page. The template contains a data-consent sentence. We only handle your request if you keep that sentence in your message. The admin might be out fishing for snacks 🐟, so expect a reply within 2–3 working days. For personal-data requests, the admin puts the fishing rod down and replies within 2 working days. Catopidia has no other channel. Anyone claiming to be Catopidia from another number or account, or asking for money, is an impostor.

3. Who can send requests

You must be 18 or older. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact us for you.

4. Listing a cat

  • You must have the right to give the cat away, and describe its health truthfully, especially rabies vaccination and sterilisation.
  • We verify before publishing: we may ask questions, call you on Zalo, or ask for a fresh photo or video of the cat next to a note showing the listing code. We may edit wording, choose photos, decline or remove a listing.
  • Listings show only province/city and ward/commune, never a home address. Location data (EXIF/GPS) is removed from photos. Photos showing faces, licence plates or house numbers are cropped or not used.
  • Contact: by default, people contact you through us. If you want, we can show your own phone/Zalo on the listing, but only after you send a separate consent for this. The adoption pages appear in Google search, so that number will be public, findable on Google and may be scraped. You can withdraw at any time (section 8 of the Privacy Notice).
  • Every 30 days we check the cat's status with you. If you don't reply within 7 days, the listing is removed. Please tell us as soon as the cat has a home.
  • Money: listings show no price or fee. Do not ask for a deposit, holding fee or shipping fee, and do not ask for any transfer before the adopter meets the cat. Any vaccination or sterilisation support fee is agreed directly between you and the adopter after you connect. Catopidia does not set, collect or handle any money.

5. Asking to adopt or foster

  • We pass your name and contact channel to the person or group caring for the cat only if you have agreed.
  • Never send money before meeting the cat in person. Any support fee is a private agreement between you and the giver. Catopidia is not involved and does not guarantee it.
  • After adoption: treat the cat humanely, get rabies vaccinations and boosters as required, and take the cat to a vet when needed.
  • Moving the cat to another province: vaccinate first, and ask the local livestock/veterinary office about quarantine.
  • The two of you agree on and are responsible for the handover, including any damage the cat causes.

6. Content we do not accept

We do not publish, and will remove, the following:

  • listings with a price or "fee";
  • asking for a deposit or transfer before meeting the cat;
  • disguised sales;
  • animal cruelty;
  • stolen photos, cats that don't exist, or pretending to be a rescue group;
  • other people's phone numbers or personal data without their consent;
  • content that breaks Vietnamese law.

7. AI assistant and cat photo analyser

  • The "Ask AI about this cat" box and the cat photo analyser are machines, not people. They are processed by third-party AI providers abroad (listed in section 7 of the Privacy Notice). Each result is labelled "AI".
  • The AI uses only the listing's information, so it may be wrong or incomplete. Its answers are not veterinary advice, not a promise from the giver, and no substitute for asking directly. The listing and the giver's own words are what count.
  • Photo analysis results may also be wrong and are not veterinary advice. If a cat shows signs of illness, take it to a vet.
  • Don't enter names, phone numbers, addresses or other personal info. Photograph only the cat: no faces, documents or addresses. Questions and photos are sent abroad for processing; Catopidia does not store them.
  • The AI box and the photo analyser are for people aged 16 or older. Don't use these features for spam, off-topic questions, or attempts to get around the AI's limits. We may limit the number of questions or switch the feature off.

8. Reports and removal

  • Report through Gmail or Zalo (section 2) and include the listing code. The admin replies within 2–3 working days. Listings suspected of scams, upfront payment requests or cruelty are hidden as soon as the admin sees the report, while we check.
  • When a competent Vietnamese authority asks, we remove content within 24 hours. We may have to give information in response to a lawful request.
  • We do not reveal who made a report.

9. Limits of our liability

  • We try to verify listings, but we do not guarantee that a listing or an AI answer is always accurate, that a cat is healthy, or that an adoption will work out.
  • We are not responsible for agreements, payments, disputes or damage between the giver and the adopter, to the extent the law allows.
  • This section does not exclude our liability where we ourselves are at fault (for example, a careless error in a listing, or leaking your data), and does not remove any right the law gives you.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Vietnamese law. We will first try to settle any dispute by negotiation. If that fails, the dispute goes to a competent court in Vietnam.

11. Changes

When we change these Terms, we post the new version with its effective date on this page. For important changes, we give at least 7 days' notice on the site.
