Athens' cats have carers.
Now carers have
a platform.
Register the colony on your street. Coordinate with the volunteer down the block. Let a tourist scan a QR and buy your cats lunch. Built for the carer with a phone in one hand and a bowl in the other.
The Challenges Facing Athens' Caretakers
Athens has thousands of stray cats and a small army of unpaid volunteers who keep them alive. But they work alone, without records, and without support from the institutions.
Soraya is a 7-year-old female who brings a new litter almost every year. She is incredibly smart and impossible to capture.
Some of her past kittens had disappeared before anyone could intervene.
She is pregnant again, and so is her young daughter.
- 01Carers work alone
Two volunteers feeding cats 200 metres apart often don't know the other exists. No shared map. No shared registry. No way to coordinate.
- 02No record of who is who
Five black cats on the same block — some neutered, some not, some semi-owned. Everything lives in one person's memory. New volunteers can't read it.
- 03Neighborhood friction builds
Messy, unmapped feeding spots trigger constant complaints from local residents. Without official colony status, caretakers face endless arguments.
- 04Litters appear without warning
Kittens get sick and sometimes die before anyone notices. Nothing connects “litter just born here” with people who could foster or intervene.
Four tools, built for the street.
Built for the volunteer with a paper notebook and a phone full of cat photos. Works in the street, takes seconds, doesn't ask you to change how you already work.
01 / Colony Map
The Interactive Colony Map
Know where care is needed most. View verified cat colonies across Athens. See real-time statuses of feeding points, population sizes, and urgent medical locations in your neighbourhood without overlapping efforts.
02 / Cat Profiles
My Colonies & Cat Profiles
Track health, history, and sterilisation. Create dedicated profiles for every cat in your colony. Log critical data including sterilisation (TNR) dates, vaccination histories, medical conditions, and specific dietary needs so any visiting carer is fully informed.
03 / Notifications
Real-Time Care Notifications
Never miss a feeding or a medical deadline. Get instant updates when a fellow caretaker feeds a colony, flags a sick cat, or requests assistance with a trapping run. Stay perfectly synchronised with your local rescue network.
04 / Profile
Your Caregiver Profile
Build your local rescue network. Showcase your care history, manage the specific colonies you sponsor, and securely communicate with authorised caretakers in Athens to coordinate food distributions and vet runs.

Why Pagrati, why now.
A dense central neighbourhood with active carers, established colonies, tourist foot traffic, and proximity to Nine Lives Greece. Small enough to test intensively in weeks. Connected enough that what works here spreads to Mets, Koukaki, and Exarchia.
Join the pilot.
We're looking for early collaborators — carers, vets, volunteers, anyone connected to the cats of Pagrati — to shape the platform before it opens to the public.
