What is
CatHunter

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

Popit, a real cat in CatHunter
Not just a cat. This particular cat.
01The idea

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.

02The foundation

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.”
03The standard

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.
