Well I had created an extensive matchmaking site that had all the parts necessary to accomplish what I believe you desire to do. First ,you have the personal profile which has an extensive list of free form fields to input information.
Second, you setup a series of questions that does the majority of the matchmaking. Any question is valid, and response should be from a selected series of checkbox choices.
Third, each question can be assigned a weight to say matches on this item can count for 10%, 20% of the overall match percentage. This allows you to set importance on the item/subject.
Fourth, attached to the owner profile are sub-profiles for each of their pets. This starts off by determining what type of pet (dog/cat/horse/reptile/anything), then selecting the breed of the associated animal). That includes pics, video, full bio, medications, vet, microchip info and health conditions. This was to be able to match/search for people with the same breed/animal and socialize. Pulling up a profile indicates a percentage match to yours.
Fifth, it allowed an owner to be matched automatically with people who match within 'x' miles from your location.
Finally, the information on each pet cam be triggered when a pet gets lost. The owner can click on a lost notice, insert the information on where the pet was last seen, and a notice goes out to every member in the region as well as suto-generate a lost poster that is shared by social media.
This is what we designed, and used for human matchmaking, and I think that what you desire is to matchmake between 2 pets....not impossible, but different.
We took down the site a few years ago, but there is nothing that exists like it anywhere. The programming is now used for our microchip registry and smart tags we developed to return lost pets to the owners.

Hello!
Our shelter would like to start a matchmaking program for our adopters. Are there any free websites/apps you would recommend? I found one, howimetmydog.com, but it seems as though it is specific to dogs. Our shelter has a lot more cats than dogs so it would be ideal if we used a program that includes cats or is cat-specific.
Thank you!
