MEOW METRICS APP - HOW IT WORKS
Collaborative app for feline colony management.
We join the mission of caregivers, organizations, and municipalities to protect feline colonies, supporting daily care with digital tools that make this work easier, stronger, and more visible.
Scattered data, isolated efforts.
Meow Metrics connects them so everything works better.
Meow Metrics brings all aspects of community cat colony management into a single system.
It detects, records, analyzes, and communicates—enabling precise planning, optimized resource use, and transparency in decision-making.
Measure
Collects and centralizes reliable information on colonies and individual cats. Real-time data becomes the foundation for transparent and effective management.
Collaborate
Connects municipalities, service providers, and volunteers on a single platform. Coordinates actions, shares reports, and communicates results without duplicating efforts.
Make decisions
Access dashboards and metrics that show where, when, and how to intervene. Faster and more efficient decisions, based on evidence.
What is the TNR protocol?
The TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) protocol controls urban cat populations in an ethical and sustainable way, preventing overpopulation and improving coexistence.
More info: What is the TNR protocol?The TNR protocol, step by step
- PlanCaregivers, veterinarians and transport are coordinated, and food is withdrawn before each capture.
- CaptureAs many cats of the colony as possible are captured (ideally 100%), preferably with box traps.
- Sterilise and identifyEach cat is identified while in custody, and the veterinarian examines it, sterilises it and identifies it with a microchip and ear-tipping.
- ReturnAfter recovery, the cat goes back to where it came from, as quickly and as humanely as possible.
- Record and follow upEach animal’s veterinary record is kept and the colony continues to be monitored.

MEOW METRICS - CAT COLONY APP
Managing your colonies with Meow Metrics is that simple
Manage colonies
Register a feline colony on the map, define its location, and start centralizing all information in one place. Each colony becomes the starting point for organizing care.
Manage cats
Add community cats to colonies with basic identification data, status, and observations. Each cat has its own record to support its history and long-term monitoring.
Record actions and alerts
Log everyday actions such as feeding, veterinary visits, or TNR interventions. You can also add alerts and relevant situations so nothing is left untracked or lost.
Share with your network
Invite other people from your organization or care network. Share information, coordinate tasks, and work collaboratively without duplicating efforts.
Review reports
Access clear statistics on colonies, cats, and recorded actions. An overview that helps understand the state of management and better plan next steps.
MEOW METRICS APP - FEATURES & TOOLS
Available tools
within the platform
Geospatial insight
Maps and geolocation
Visualize colonies, cats, actions, and events on an interactive map. All recorded activities are geolocated, providing real-time insight into the territory.
Colony and cat tracking
Register each colony and each cat, including identification, health status, TNR actions, and daily care. A clear history to support real processes, cat by cat.
Automatic statistics and reports
Data is transformed into actionable information: colony evolution, TNR actions, statuses, and trends. Reports ready to support decision-making and accountability.
TNR programs
Tracking TNR status and progress
View the current status of each cat: neutered, identified, validated, adopted, or deceased. Each change is validated by volunteers or veterinarians, ensuring transparency and reliability in population tracking.
Identification and marking
Monitor identification status through microchipping or physical marking, linking each cat to its TNR record. Traceability allows verification that each individual has completed the full process: trap, neuter, and return.
Veterinary history
Record check-ups, treatments, vaccinations, and clinical reviews.
Health traceability is fully documented, facilitating coordination with municipal or third-party veterinary services.
CAT COLONY MANAGEMENT APP
Together, we achieve more.
Tools to strengthen networked work.
Meow Metrics helps distribute tasks, ensure information is available to those who need it, and sustain actions over time.
Less duplicated work, more information, and greater capacity to respond in a coordinated way to what is happening in each colony.
Through notifications and alerts, relevant information reaches the right people at the right time.
Thematic or regional groups make it possible to organize work by colonies, areas, or roles, facilitating daily coordination and tracking what has already been done and what still needs to be done.
In this way, care no longer depends on isolated exchanges and is instead sustained through an organized, clear, and active network.
Chat and notifications
Notifications inside the platform at the association and municipality levels. The municipality level adds chat and internal communications, and push notifications on the phone.
Digital ID
Digital collaborator card, linked to the collaborating organization, at the municipality level.
