Why Pawtner exists

We see ourselves in our babies — the same eyes, the same laugh, the same stubborn streak. Some of us feel exactly that about our pets: we watch them sleep and wish they could stay forever, carried on in little ones of their own.

If I ever have the means, I'll open a cryopreservation centre for them — so no one has to say a final goodbye to their best friend.

The research

Wanting them forever is not silly. It's love.

Grief researchers now say losing a pet can hurt like losing a close friend or a sibling — and India is falling for pets fast.

In their own words

Science, honestly

How the world is trying to keep pets forever

Four drawers in the freezer — what each can do, what it costs, and the part nobody puts in the advert. Prices as published in October 2026; they change.

Cloning

A genetic twin, born later.

Cells from your pet grow into an embryo carried by a surrogate mother. The puppy or kitten has the same genes — and a life, and a personality, all its own.

The honest part: The first cloned dog, Snuppy (2005), took 1,095 embryos and 123 surrogate mothers to give one surviving pup. ViaGen itself says markings and personality can differ. source (source, opens in a new tab)↗

Cell banking

Keep living cells, decide later.

A small skin or blood sample is grown into a cell line and frozen. It keeps the door open — to cloning, or to science that doesn't exist yet. Tom Brady's clone came from a blood draw taken before his dog passed.

The honest part: It must be done while the cells are alive — ideally while your pet is healthy, or within days after. source (source, opens in a new tab)↗

Cryopreservation

Frozen in hope.

The whole body is cooled and stored at about −196 °C, in the hope that future medicine can do what today's can't.

The honest part: Nobody — not one provider — promises revival. It is a hope, not a treatment. source (source, opens in a new tab)↗

Frozen semen & embryos

Their own babies — even years later.

Semen (and, in research, eggs and embryos) frozen while your pet is young can give a litter long after. For dogs this is everyday vet science; for cats it is still mostly research.

The honest part: 84% of dogs whelped when frozen semen was placed in the uterus in one study (327 inseminations, 1999). Frozen cat semen works far less often. source (source, opens in a new tab)↗

Until the freezer is real

The honest way to carry them on today: their own babies

A clone is a twin born later. A kitten or a puppy is a whole new chapter — maybe with her mum's eyes and his dad's zoomies, maybe nothing alike and loved just the same.

One planned, healthy litter, with homes waiting before anyone meets, is how a little line has always carried on. Pawtner helps two families find each other — carefully.

Fair questions

“But there are so many cats who need homes…”

We hear you. Here's how we think about it — and the other things people ask.

Why not just adopt? So many cats and dogs need homes.

They do — about 69 million homeless cats and dogs live in India (Mars, 2024), and we love adoption: BilluBnB runs adopt.billubnb.in. But loving your own baby's little face doesn't stop you caring for others. You might adore the way she blinks at you, the cuddle he gives every morning, the eyes you'd know anywhere — and you might wish you could see them again in a kitten or puppy one day. That's a very human wish. So we ask for both: one planned, vet-checked litter with homes lined up first, sterilisation afterwards, and a little love for the adoption drives too.

Will a pawmate bring my pet back?

No — and nobody honest will promise that. A kitten or puppy is a whole new soul who may have their mum's eyes or their dad's stubborn streak. Even a clone is a genetic twin born later, with a personality of its own. What a litter can do is carry their line forward.

Do you sell kittens or puppies?

Never. Pawtner only introduces two families. In India, a platform that sells pets online counts as a pet shop under the Pet Shop Rules, 2018 — and selling is not what this is about. Families who sell pups must register with their State Animal Welfare Board.

Is this legal in India?

For dogs, the Dog Breeding and Marketing Rules, 2017 set clear limits (18 months, one litter a year, five in a lifetime) — our pledge follows them. India has no cat-breeding law, so we follow international standards as house rules. We introduce families; we don't breed or sell.

Do you check the pets' health?

Every family takes the pawmating pledge and tells us which tests are done (FeLV/FIV and blood type for cats; brucellosis and a vet check for dogs). Profiles show those as the family's own statement — we don't certify anyone. Before an introduction we ask both families for the reports.

My pet is neutered — can I still join?

Not for a pawmate, but you can join the Forever list below: it tells us how many families would want pet preservation in India one day.

What does it cost?

Nothing, while Pawtner is new. No listing fee, no introduction fee.

Which pets can't be listed?

Pets under the pledge's minimum age, unwell or untested pets, related pairs, Scottish Fold × Fold matches and dogs bred for extreme looks.

Every listing takes it

The pawmating pledge

Love is not enough on its own. These rules keep mums, dads and babies safe. For dogs, the ones marked Law are India's Dog Breeding and Marketing Rules, 2017; India has no cat-breeding law, so for cats we adopt international standards.

  1. Grown up first

    The queen is at least 10 months old before mating — we ask for 12.

  2. Time between litters

    No more than 2 litters in 12 months, and no more than 3 in 24.

    source (source, opens in a new tab)↗
  3. Tested for FeLV and FIV

    Both cats test negative before the first mating.

    source (source, opens in a new tab)↗
  4. Blood types checked

    Type both cats (A/B). A type-B queen with a type-A tom can lose her kittens to neonatal isoerythrolysis.

    source (source, opens in a new tab)↗
  5. Breed screens your vet advises

    Often a kidney (PKD) test for Persian-type cats and a heart scan (HCM) for at-risk breeds — ask your vet which apply to yours.

  6. Vaccinations up to date

    Before mating — and never vaccinate a pregnant cat.

    source (source, opens in a new tab)↗
  7. No fold × fold

    Scottish Fold matches are off: the fold gene causes painful bone disease.

    Related cats are never matched — our house rule, borrowed from India's ban on in-breeding dogs.

    No kitten leaves its mother before 8 weeks.

    source (source, opens in a new tab)↗

    Both dogs are at least 18 months old.

  7. No cosmetic cruelty Law

    No tail docking, ear cropping or de-barking; no breeding for extreme looks.

Pawtner is brand new, so the directory is empty for now — no made-up profiles here. Be the first family: list your cat or dog, take the pledge, and we'll publish the profile after a quick review.
