How to Transfer a Neopet
Should a player decide to transfer their neopet, whether to another account or
to a friend, using the pound to send neopets has become a common practice. There
are dangers of course, but hopefully the method shown below will make the
process as quick and as efficient as possible.
This method will require two people. One person will need to be logged into the
account with the neopet that they want to be transferred. The other person needs
to be logged into the second account, which they want to receive the pet. If
your person helping you is accessing one of your accounts, make sure this is a
person you can trust and not some random person off the NeoBoards, who once in
your account, will run off with anything valuable quicker than you can exclaim,
"what the?!?"
Have both people visit the Neopian Pound. The person on the receiving end should
visit the 'Adopt-A-Pet' area and in the search field, type in the neopet's name.
The other person in the other account also needs to visit the Neopian Pound.
However, this person will need to go to the abandon option. As soon as one
person abandons the pet into the pound, the other person needs to be notified
immediately, whereby they can load up the adoption pages and adopt the pet
pronto! Because there are many players in the adoption pounds, transferring rare
pets should be done carefully. Therefore, it is recommended that the two people
are able to keep in contact via online messaging clients.
The Safest Way to Transfer a Neopet
Submitted by jrtman
STEP ONE:
To start off make sure you have two different browsers installed on your
computer; Internet Explorer and Firefox are what I recommend. Firefox and
Internet Explorer store cookies differently and this is what is going to allow
you to be logged into the account the pet is currently in and the account you
want to transfer it to at the same time and on the same computer.
If you don't have Firefox you can get it at
http://www.getfirefox.com (4.7MB download) or if don't have Internet
Explorer you can get it at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/.
Now that you have two browsers installed make sure you don't have any other
windows open during the transfer process you don't want to be opening an
unwanted window by accident as seconds really count.
STEP TWO:
Open Internet Explorer first and log into the account that the soon to be
transferred pet is currently in and then go to the pound (http://www.neopets.com/disown.phtml).
Now open Firefox, log into the account you want the pet to be in and then paste
the following URL into the address bar:
http://www.neopets.com/process_adopt.phtml?pet_name=YOUR_PET_NAME making
sure to replace "YOUR_PET_NAME" with the actual name of the pet you are
transferring (do not hit submit, leave the web address there for now).
CAUTION: To be safe, make sure you have at
least 1000 Neopoints on hand in the account you are transferring the pet to and
that said account doesn't have four pets already.
Again to be safe, copy the name of the pet you are transferring from the pound
page and paste it to the end of the above URL (replacing YOUR_PET_NAME) making
sure that there are NO spaces in the front or at the end of the name and that
all the characters (letters, numbers) are there or this could potentially cause
you to lose the pet.
STEP THREE:
Open the Internet Explorer window back up and abandon the pet. After the
confirmation page loads immediately go back to Firefox and click the "Go" button
next to the address bar.
Congratulations, you have just safely
transferred a Neopet! Please remember that no method is 100% and while this is
the absolute safest method to use there is still a chance, no matter how small,
that someone may just happen to get the pet before you do so unless transferring
the pet is completely necessary, don't risk it.
An Alternative Method

First you have to have access to two different browsers. I use MSN & Firefox. I
will have one browser open to the abandon window and the other browser open to
the adopt search engine with the name already in place (note that the second
browser must be logged into the account receiving the neopet). Than all you have
to do is click on the abandon button, switch windows to the other browser on the
other account, to the adopt search engine, click on find my perfect pet and
there it is.
Another Alternative Method - Three Window Trick
Submitted by Impl0de
A good way to transfer is the 'three window trick', which I always use when
transferring painted pets. It's simple and easy.
Have three windows open. The first window should be the disown page. The second
window, go to the log in page and put in your username, then click submit. Type
in your password, but don't submit.
The third window is the adoption page. Go to the adoption center, and type the
pets name in the search engine. Do not click submit.
Step 1: Disown the pet.
Step 2: Immediately click to the second window and hit 'submit' to log-in.
Step 3. Open the third window and submit the pet's name in the search engine. It
will give you the result and click the picture.
NOTE: Make sure you have enough neopoints on hand! I always get out at least 1k,
but it's wise to get out all of your money in case it's more expensive.
I've only lost one pet to this, and that's because it was extremely rare (Snow
Pteri, Cepti, when the snow paint brush was newer and I got her through the lab.
It was going in a friend's account who wanted her.)
Make sure there are no distractions around (younger siblings, pop-up ads), and
close the doors and windows around you just in case.
Yet Another Alternative Method!

If you are transferring it to yourself you can get a friend to go onto your
account. Talking over the phone would probably be the easiest way to let him/her
know when you have put the pet into the pound. Before the pet is pounded your
friend would have a window open at http://neopets.com/process_adopt.phtml?pet_name=(pet
name here) all they have to do is keep on refreshing. At first it will come up
as "this pet already has an owner and is very happy" but when it is pounded, and
there is enough neopoints on the account and it does not have 4 pets already, if
you keep on refreshing you will get it without having to click or do anything :)
Important Note
Make sure the receiving account does not already have four neopets. If it does,
it will be unable to grab the recently abandoned neopet
Oh no! Someone else adopted the neopet before I could transfer it!
In the worst-case scenario, the pet you were attempting to transfer, or receive
was snatched up by another person who was visiting the pound. In this case, you
can find out who adopted your neopet by running a name search in Neopets' search
directory. The new owner's name will show up on the neopet's owner description.
By neomailing the new owner, politely explain what happened and request that the
neopet be placed back in the pound for you to receive. Be careful however as the
new owner is under no obligation to place the neopet back in the pound for you
and may keep it if he/she wishes. In addition, DO NOT offer neopoints in return
for the neopet as the local neopian authority will freeze you in your tracks
faster than you can say, "I didn't do it."
Before transferring a pet via the pound, be aware of the risks involved and if
you do decide to go ahead with transferring, be prepared to accept the
consequences that it is possible that the wrong person could snatch up the pet.
But wait a second!
natasa177 says hello and has another method of transferring pets! If you
want to transfer quickly a pet to one of your other accounts, and can't find a
person fast enough, just follow these tips.
1. First, open a window and go to the abandon page with 250 NP.
2. Then, open another window, and go to the login page. Type the accounts name
you want to transfer the pet. Type the password and the security code. Make sure
that they are correct, and DON'T hit the 'Submit' button.
3. Once more, open another window, and this time to the adopt-a-pet search
engine. Type the pets name that is going to be transferred, and hit the 'Find me
my perfect Pet!' button. Of course, on the next page the pet will not show up.
4. Now for the transferring bit. Go to the first window, and abandon the pet.
Then, quickly, go to the second window and hit the 'Submit' button to log on to
your other account. Then, as fast as you can, open the next window where you
previously had searched the pet you wanted, refresh (you can click F5 on the
keyboard), and the pet should be there. By this time you should have logged on
to your other account in the second window, so you can click on the pet to adopt
it.
This is the method. Make sure before you transfer your pet that your other
account has enough NP to adopt the pet.
If you are not quick enough, somebody browsing in the pound may get the pet
before you have time to refresh the third window. To prevent this from
happening, I suggest you practice on some targets. I'll let you figure that out
