How It Works

Creatures gives you one place to manage your animals’ profiles and records, connect with boarding and transport services, and buy or sell when you’re ready. Whether you have a single pet or an entire herd, everything lives here.

Build Your Animal’s Profile

Every animal on Creatures gets a detailed digital profile. Think of it as their home online.

Add photos, breed information, lineage, and status updates all in one place
Link sires and dams to build multi-generational pedigree trees
Keep profiles private for animals you don’t want visible publicly
Create organization profiles for your breeder program, rescue, farm, or sanctuary
Add team members and co-owners who can help manage your animals
Connect family members so your entire herd, flock, or kennel is linked together

Your Creatures profile is useful from the moment you sign up. No listing or sale required.

Track Health, Registration, and Care Records

If you’re still tracking your animals in spreadsheets, filing cabinets, or expensive software that was built for large commercial operations and doesn’t quite fit the way you work, there’s a better option. Creatures stores and organizes all of your animals’ important records in one place, for free, with 11 record types:

Registration and Pedigree records for breed registry information and ancestry
Certification and Test Results for genetic testing, breed evaluations, and more
Vaccination, Medication, Examination, and Surgery records for complete health history
Reproductive records for breeding and fertility tracking
Routine Care records for day-to-day maintenance
Reminders so you never miss a vaccination, vet visit, or breeding date

Attach documents and files to any record. When an animal changes hands, their complete record history travels with them.

Find Boarding and Services

Whether you don’t have the land, don’t have the right setup, or simply don’t have the time, Creatures connects animal owners with verified boarding providers for any situation.

Short-Term and Seasonal Boarding

Travel confidently knowing your animals are in experienced hands
Seasonal arrangements for grazing, breeding, or weather-related relocations
Temporary boarding between moves, property transitions, or facility upgrades

Long-Term and Remote Ownership

Own and manage animals without owning land. A city dweller in New York can run a highland cattle breeding program by boarding with an experienced operator in Virginia.
Invest in animals as assets anywhere in the world. An American can own a herd of goats in Kenya or cattle in Argentina, collect breeding revenue, and manage it all from their phone.
Creatures expands animal ownership from “people with land” to anyone with interest, capital, and a vision

How Boarding Works on Creatures

Browse boarding providers by location, species, and services offered
Verified providers with ratings and reviews from other owners
Built-in messaging to discuss terms, pricing, and care expectations

Simple, Transparent Fees

Creating a Creatures account is completely free. When a sale closes, Creatures charges a 10% transaction fee (5% from the buyer, 5% from the seller) to keep the platform running and growing. No listing fees, no monthly subscriptions required, no hidden costs. See full pricing details in our FAQ →

Host and Join Sale Events

Creatures lets organizers host professional sale events that bring multiple breeders together under one roof. Whether it’s a timed auction or a fixed-price catalog sale, events give sellers bigger audiences and buyers more selection.

Two Event Types

Auction Events: Timed bidding with sniping protection. If a bid comes in during the final 2 minutes, the clock extends so nobody gets outbid at the last second.
Fixed Price Events: Catalog-style sales where buyers can purchase immediately at set prices

How Events Work

Organizers create events, set terms, and approve seller applications
Multiple breeders pool their audiences for bigger reach and stronger results
Custom consignment and commission settings for organizers
Buyer applications let sellers screen who can bid or purchase
Every bid is real and verified, backed by credit card pre-authorization

Trust Built Into Everything

If you’ve ever tried to run an animal business on Facebook or buy and sell on Craigslist, you already know the problem: fake accounts, misleading photos, no accountability, and zero recourse when something goes wrong. Creatures was built to fix that.

Verified identities: Sellers verify their identity before they can list animals for sale
Real reviews: Buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction
Transparent history: Every animal’s profile shows its full record, ownership history, and lineage
Secure payments: All transactions are processed through Creatures with buyer and seller protections
Accountability: Disputes are handled through Creatures’ resolution process, not a he-said-she-said on social media
