General

Are all the products for cats on The Neko Store?

Yes. Everything on the site is picked for cats and their needs. Just for cats.

Are all the products vet approved?

Anything your cat eats goes through our vet panel before it goes live. Toys and other non-food items go through our own safety checks: non-toxic materials, no choking hazards, no sharp edges, and sign-off from both founders.

How do you select a product?

We don't select a product just because it is marketed towards cats. We don't stock something just because it's marketed at cats. Every product goes through a 5-step curation process. You can read it in How We Work

Are all the products cat safe?

Every product is checked for materials, sourcing and safety, and signed off by both founders before it goes on the site. If something ever turns out to be unsafe, we'll be the first to tell you.

If you come across a product on this platform which you have found to be unsafe, let us know and we will get on it right away. 

Do you sell cat food?

Not yet. We're launching with toys and essentials. Food comes after our FSSAI licence is approved, and every food product goes through our vet panel first.

When is customer support open?

Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM and on Saturday 10 AM - 1 PM. Write to us at hello@thenekostore.com or WhatsApp us at 7702617761 and you’ll receive a response from an actual human.

Products

What happens if my cat(s) don't like it?

Cats are picky, and that's part of living with them. Try to select toys based on your cat’s play style and interests and try one to see if your cat takes to it. Returns are for damaged, defective, unfit or wrong items only.

What products are eligible for returns?

Information related to this is directly available on the product page itself.

Some items are not eligible for return due to hygiene and safety reasons. You can find our complete returns and refund policy here

Payments and Refund

What modes of payment are accepted?

UPI, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Wallets, Pay Later, and Net Banking

What amount will be refunded if I used a coupon code while placing my order, but have to cancel?

For any cancelled order, the refund amount will be equal to the amount paid by you i.e. excluding the savings through coupon code(s).

When and how will I get my refund after returning a product?
