Your city has
cat stories too.

When I lived in the UK, neighbourhood cats would wander through my garden every day. Some I recognised; others were new faces passing through. They all seemed to have their own routes and routines.

Then I adopted Pebbles — a black-and-white community cat. That's when I realised how different cats are from dogs. Cats roam. They have their own social lives across the whole neighbourhood. I kept wondering: where does Pebbles go all day? What is her life like out there?

At the same time, I kept seeing "missing cat" posters around the community. Every single one carried a sense of worry. I thought — what if there was a place where neighbours could look out for each other's cats together?

Cats are not like dogs. Dogs go out on a lead; cats go out on their own terms. And because of that, cats actually need their community more. That ginger cat sitting in your garden might be the same one your neighbour has been looking for.

The people who see cats and the people who care about cats are often just a few streets apart. I wanted to make that connection easier. That photo you snapped on your morning walk might just confirm to another owner that their cat is safe and well.

So I built this platform — with some technology to help along the way (analysing coat patterns from photos, organising sighting records, providing care tips backed by veterinary research). But those are just tools. The real point is this: during the year Pebbles was missing, her story existed nowhere. I didn't want that to keep happening to other cats.

Pebbles is a mixed black-and-white cat. She used to be one of the community cats in our neighbourhood — she'd show up in the garden, sometimes just sitting outside the window watching us eat. We started leaving food out, she started coming more often, and eventually she just... moved in.

After a while, Pebbles got sick and needed surgery. We took her to Vet4Pets in Leyland, and honestly, they were brilliant — not just the medical side, but you could tell they genuinely cared about her. The surgery went well and Pebbles made a full recovery.

After that, we officially adopted her. The cat that used to wait in the garden for food now won't get off the sofa. Looking at how comfortable she is, I think she picked us from the start.

She's the first cat on ManekiGo, and the reason all of this exists. That year — where she was, who saw her, who fed her — none of it was recorded anywhere.

This platform is for Pebbles, and for every cat living their best life in some neighbourhood somewhere.
