Help us give every cat in the world an identity

1

Snap a cat

Open Stray and snap or upload a photo. We create a privacy-first visual “pawprint” (no faces, no exact addresses) and lightly fuzz the location so you can share sightings safely.

2

Get instant matches

We search our global cat registry and show likely matches nearby or worldwide. Confirm it’s the same cat with one tap—or mark it as a new cat if it’s never been seen before.

3

Give them an identity

Create or claim a profile with a name, tags, and notes like “lost,” “indoor/outdoor,” or “adoptable.” Add sightings and updates to help neighbors and shelters reunite families and map community cats.
