Classifieds Policies The do's and don'ts

Who can place an Ad

Our classifieds service is designed for local, private advertisers only. All ads must be placed from a valid local email address that resolves to a local IP address. We do not accept retailers, merchandisers, dealers, agents or brokers in our regular Classifieds.

Classified Stores

For retailers, merchandisers, dealers, agents or brokers we offer a unique “Store” option in our main Classifieds categories. There is a modest monthly fee associated with this service. If you are interested in such an option, please contact classifieds@castanet.net for more more information and pricing.

Auto Dealers

For licensed Kelowna auto dealers we offer our Castanet Automall, contact sales@castanet.net for more more information and pricing.

Pets

Cats & Dogs:
  • Castanet will not accept ads for wolf-hybrid dogs.
  • Castanet will not accept ads for stud or breeding services.

Rabbits:

As per Kelowna Bylaw #5421-82:

"No person shall sell or give away rabbits that have not been spayed or neutered."

In support of the local animal welfare groups including the SPCA, TRACS and the Okanagan Humane Society, Castanet will not not make any exceptions to this policy regardless of location.

Other:

Castanet will not accept Exotic pets which are prohibited in BC. For a complete list please see the SPCA website.

Please note:

SPCA shelters, Animal Charities and Rescue groups throughout the province of BC are overcrowded with unwanted animals. Animal overpopulation has reached critical levels.

Low income families in the Central Okanagan can apply for assistance of spay/neutering their pets through the SPCA and Okanagan Humane Society.

Should you require further information or assistance please contact:

BC SPCA via their website: BC SPCA or

Okanagan Humane Society via e-mail: okanaganhumanesociety@gmail.com
