CatsMe Connect: Building a Transparent Donation Platform for Cat Rescue and Welfare

CatsMe Connect: A New Era for Cat Rescue

In recent years, Japan has faced a growing crisis known as multi-cat hoarding, which has severe implications not only for the animals involved but also for the people suffering from economic hardship and social isolation. This complex problem has drawn attention from various sectors, prompting innovative solutions.

The Launch of CatsMe Connect

To address these pressing issues, Carelogy Co., Ltd., based in Chuo, Tokyo, has launched 'CatsMe Connect,' a new donation platform committed to enhanced transparency and accountability. This initiative aims to improve the financial burdens faced by cat rescue organizations while working towards a society where euthanasia of adoptable animals is eliminated.

CatsMe Connect is not just another donation platform; it aims to create a sustainable environment where both cats and humans can coexist harmoniously. By linking local governments, social welfare organizations, and animal protection groups, the project seeks to create a robust support system for cat welfare.

The Importance of Transparency

The escalating number of reports related to multi-cat hoarding incidents highlights a significant need for change in how donations are managed. CatsMe Connect ensures that the funds raised are directly funneled to where they are most needed. By establishing stringent review processes, Carelogy guarantees that at least 85% of all donations go directly to the rescue organizations, while 15% will be allocated for operational costs.

The ultimate goal is to devise a financial ecosystem that supports critical interventions such as early detection of hoarding situations, temporary shelter for affected cats, spaying and neutering services, and assistance in finding permanent homes.

Leveraging Technology with CatsMe

Carelogy’s expertise in developing the AI-driven cat care application 'CatsMe' further enhances the impact of CatsMe Connect. This innovative solution integrates online and offline resources to create a robust support network that addresses urgent issues surrounding cat welfare. By utilizing technology, CatsMe Connect aims to not only assist individual cat owners but also to empower cat rescue organizations through streamlined access to essential resources.

A Sustainable Operations Model

Part of the income generated from the CatsMe application will be donated to support the ongoing operations of CatsMe Connect. This shared responsibility fosters a long-term and sustainable support system, inviting all stakeholders—donors, Carelogy, and rescue organizations—to collaboratively ensure the welfare of both cats and communities.

A Message from the CEO

Go Sakioka, CEO of Carelogy, expressed:

“The tragic incidents arising from hoarding cannot be excused, but we must understand that condemnation alone will not lead to societal change. The heartbreaking reality is that everyone involved becomes a victim of this crisis. Therefore, we are committed to creating a new safety net that supports cat rescue organizations through technology and advocacy. CatsMe Connect is a challenge to protect cats, humans, and society at large. We hope many can empathize with our cause and help us expand this vital network.”

Future Prospects

Carelogy intends to scale CatsMe Connect nationwide, ensuring that a fair and sustainable flow of resources becomes a reality. As a company dedicated to improving the future for cats through technology, Carelogy aims to build reliable frameworks that foster trust and support between cat owners, rescue organizations, and society.
