How PetQuestAI matches you with adoptable pets
Match Me is a deterministic rules-and-weights system. It uses pet traits, household requirements, and user preferences to calculate explainable recommendations.
Hard conflicts can cap recommendations below strong-fit ranges, such as cats in the home when a pet is not good with cats, children when a pet is not good with children, or first-time adopters matched with pets requiring experienced owners.
At PetQuestAI, we are both fosters and adopters, and matching a pet to the right home is our priority. Rather than breed or physical characteristics, our goal is to ensure a successful and lasting match between pets and their future families based on lifestyle compatibility.
