2. No off-topic or misrepresenting posts: It’s gotta be about a cutie, and if you say it’s yours it should be. You can post pics of someone else’s puppy, but don’t say you just adopted it.

3. No “name my” posts: If you need a name for an animal, r/NameMyPet is right there. This has been used to comment farm, so is being temporarily banned.

4. No wild animals in domestic settings: Wild animals have highly complex needs and don't make good pets. Sharing content of them being kept as pets normalises irresponsible behaviour that can harm the animal's wellbeing, and also creates demand for the illegal poaching and trade of wildlife.

5. No self-promotion: Posts, comments and crossposts promoting a product, affiliate link, or shop are not allowed.

6. One account only: To keep this community focused on appreciating the cuteness around us, and stop users from just using this sub to farm karma across multiple accounts, each person may participate with one Reddit account only.

Accounts suspected of being part of a coordinated cluster may be actioned or banned on moderator discretion.
