Island of Cats’s vision

Every street cat is known, named and noticed.

Island of Cats’s mission

Make meeting street cats a game, so every catch puts a cat on record and turns players into people who help.

Part of StrayBond: Street cats and people, living well together.

What it does

Noticing cats, turned into a game of getting to know them.

  • Catch and collectSnap a cat, name it and add it to your collection. The app tells you if someone has met that cat before.
  • Every cat has a storyEach catch adds to a cat’s record: where it’s seen, how it’s doing, who looks out for it.
  • Play every dayCat Crush, leaderboards for your country, the world and your friends, and games between catches.
  • FriendsFollow people, become friends, like their cats and chat.
  • Lost catsA pet reported lost gets a shareable flyer, and players nearby are asked if they’ve seen it.
  • Safe for catsA cat only ever shows in a rough area on the map, never its exact spot, so the map can’t be used to find and harm it.

Coming next

From playing to helping.

  • Reports: tell people nearby about a cat in need, offer to help, and hear when it’s resolved.
  • Danger alerts: poison, glass or traps, shown to everyone nearby until they’re cleared.
  • Events: join feeding rounds, clean-ups and search parties near you.

How it fits

One of three platforms, one cat’s story.

A player meets a cat in Island of Cats, a caretaker looks after it in StrayCare, and the city sees it in StrayWatch. The same cat, never a copy.
