What is
CatHunter
Infrastructure designed to give every cat a visual identity—and weave them into the fabric of city life.

A visual identity for every cat
CatHunter is a way to give every cat a visual identity. Take a photo—and the cat gets a CatID. It's a unique, recognizable, camera-based ID. No chip required.
With a CatID, the cat becomes part of the system:
- they can be found if they go missing
- you can see who takes care of them
- you can connect vet services, shelters, support
- or simply keep their story alive in the city
CatHunter is not a social network. Not a shelter. It's infrastructure—designed to weave free urban cats and owned animals into urban life. And it all starts with one photo.
CatID is where it all begins
CatHunter is a platform built around a simple idea: every cat—street or domestic—deserves a unique visual identity.
No microchips. No paperwork. No barriers. Just a phone camera. A few photos. That's enough. From that moment, the cat becomes visible—to people, to systems, to care networks.
“From that moment, the cat becomes visible.”
CatID is not a file. It's an interface
We're creating a standard—like USB, but for cats. A universal format to connect health records, geolocation, sterilization status, visual history, neighborhood guardians, AI diagnostics, public alerts, and global movement.
CatID is how a cat plugs into the world.
We believe that
Every cat deserves to be seen
Identity is the first step toward protection
Technology should bring animals closer to humans—not the other way around
One standard beats a thousand siloed solutions
