The Scale of the Problem

Nearly 300,000 Dogs and Cats Taken In by Spanish Rescues in 2025

Source: Fundación Affinity, Él nunca lo haría (2026 edition, 2025 data). 285,720 abandoned or lost dogs and cats were taken in by Spanish animal protection organisations.

Behind many of them are human decisions we can change. We build tools with the people who care for them, for prevention, colony care and safe homes.

From the Street to a Safe Home

One tool for each stage of an animal's journey, built around a shared animal record. As each tool launches, an animal's history can move with it when its carers choose to share it.

1

Found on the Street → Paws Home Planned

Public sightings and lost-and-found reports, so lost animals get home before they reach a shelter.

2

Street Cat Needing Care → Gatálogo Live

Colony registration, cat profiles and TNR records, with CSV exports associations can share with their town hall.

3

Needs Temporary Care → Cradle Planned

Foster coordination across organisations: foster animal management, matching, reviews and foster contracts.

Ready for a Forever Home → Adoption Planned

A full care history, from health to behaviour, so adopters and associations decide with the whole picture.

Where We Are Today

Gatálogo is live in production for colony and TNR records, free for associations and independent carers. We're also preparing its code for open-source release under AGPL-3.0-or-later.

One Goal, One Strategy

One mission, one theory of change and one long-term goal behind everything we build.

Long-term goal

Fewer animals abandoned, and a clear path to a forever home for every one that is. Fewer cats on the street every year, until no cat has to live there. As a public benchmark, we follow the number of dogs and cats taken in by Spanish rescues each year: 285,720 in 2025, according to Fundación Affinity. We aim to see it fall below 100,000.

Long-term systems change measured year over year

How change happens

  1. Prevention first

    Equip communities, volunteers, and organisations with practical resources that prevent abandonment before crisis happens.

  2. Faster coordinated response

    Connect associations, municipalities, and citizens with shared workflows that reduce duplication and delays.

  3. Stable outcomes

    Increase return, adoption, foster, and managed colony outcomes while reducing shelter and municipal pressure.

Outcomes we optimise for

  • Fewer animals abandoned and faster resolution to safe care.
  • Stronger operational capacity for associations and municipal teams.
  • Higher cooperation across organisations through shared standards and data flow.
