About us
Who’s behind StrayBond.
An independent project from Cyprus, building connected tools for the people who meet, care for and plan for street cats.
Our story
It started with a game.
StrayBond began with Island of Cats, a game for catching and collecting the street cats you meet. But every catch raised the same questions: is this cat neutered? Who feeds it? Who do you tell when one is hurt?
The answers existed, scattered across feeders’ heads, volunteers’ group chats and shelters’ notebooks. Nothing connected them. So the game became the first of three platforms: Island of Cats for cat lovers, StrayCare for caretakers, shelters and vets, and StrayWatch for cities. StrayBond is what ties them together.
We’re starting in Cyprus, the island of cats, and building it to work anywhere.
Team
Small, and building.
-
Kyriakos Alexandrou Founder
Designs and builds the StrayBond platforms, from the apps to the server, through the software studio Skoulix Labs. Based in Cyprus.
We want StrayBond built with the people it serves. If you feed, trap, shelter or treat street cats, help us test the tools as they’re made.
Advisors
We’re forming an advisory board.
Street cats need more than software. We’re looking for people who know them first-hand to guide what we build and keep us honest:
- A cat welfare group: people who run colonies and neutering on the ground.
- A vet: someone who neuters and treats street cats.
- Someone from local government: who knows how councils plan and spend.

How we’re run
Independent, and open about it.
- Who runs it: StrayBond is built by Skoulix Labs, in Cyprus.
- What we hold to: cats come first, real never made up, the reporter hears back, those who care never pay. Our values.
- Cats’ safety: we never show where a cat lives. Maps show areas, never exact spots.
