Changing the way
NCR adopts tiny pets.
No more crowded pet stores. No more unethical mills. Just healthy, happy hamsters ready for a loving apartment home.
Prabhat Singh
Founder, Pouch & Paw
"I walked into a local pet shop and was heartbroken."
It started in late 2024. I was living in a 2BHK in Noida, working long corporate hours, and wanted a low-maintenance companion. I visited several local pet markets and saw hamsters kept in terrible conditions—cramped in tiny plastic cages, fighting, and visibly stressed.
I realized that while dog and cat adoption in India was evolving, micro-pets were still treated as disposable commodities.
That's why I created Pouch and Paw.
The Pouch & Paw Promise
Ethical Breeding Only
We refuse to work with rodent mills. Our hamsters are sourced from private, verified hobbyists who provide massive enclosures, high-quality seed mixes, and daily handling.
Veterinary Clearance
Before a hamster is listed on our platform, they undergo a rigorous health check by Dr. Aisha Sharma, our consulting Exotic Veterinarian, to ensure they are 100% healthy.
Education First
We don't just hand over a pet. We provide complete apartment-safe habitats, cooling guides for Delhi summers, and ongoing support to ensure the hamster thrives.
