About us

We are Patrick and Aleksandra , big animal lovers, especially dogs and cats. We have a cat named Zoja and a pitbull terrier named Zeus as company.

Our journey to starting a shop began in the summer of 2022 , when we were driving through Bosnia and Herzegovina. During a stop on the way, an abandoned cat and kitten came to us. Due to circumstances, we were unable to help them at the time, which we still regret today. The event left a big mark on us.

We started thinking about how we could help abandoned and unwanted animals. We came up with the idea of ​​starting a pet store that would actively work with shelters and animal rescue organizations. This way, we could help homeless animals in shelters with financial support and donations of food and equipment. At the same time, through the store, we could also spread awareness about abandoned animals and maybe even find them loving homes.

So, at the beginning of 2024, we started actively working on opening an online pet store. Hours and hours of learning entrepreneurship, taking notes, and searching and comparing products began. Aleksandra is a master of organization, so she took on the research part, and Patrick is a born leader, so he set about editing the necessary documentation and creating the website.

Because we also care about environmental responsibility, we decided that our store would especially emphasize the importance of organic, handmade and local products. To this end, we have partnered with numerous Slovenian and European manufacturers of small animal equipment.

And eight months later – we did it! We are proud to present our online store Forapet, where we strive to offer sustainable, high-quality and diverse products. A very special place in our store belongs to Slovenian and handmade products, which are also carefully labeled as such.

You are invited to join our Forapet family!
