What’s New in Version 3.0.0 Audio Logging Record weight, feeding, and stool entries by voice when your hands are full—because they usually are. Tap the mic and say, “Whiskers, weight 188 grams, entry complete.” The Basic Plan includes up to 4 audio entries per day; Pro includes up to 75. Procedures Schedule and record general procedures—including checkups, dental care, and surgeries—in addition to vaccinations and spay/neuter procedures. Reminders Set reminders for vaccinations, spay/neuter appointments, and general procedures. Scheduled Appointments View and manage every upcoming appointment from one dedicated screen. Weight Weight assessment now focuses on each kitten’s individual rate of gain. We’ve removed comparisons to age-based averages because healthy size and growth can vary widely among kittens of the same age. Clinics and Shelters Large rosters—even those containing hundreds of kittens—now load and filter quickly for shelters and clinics using Foster Kitten. Performance High-resolution medical photos are now processed in the background, keeping the app responsive while they save. Foster Kitten helps you maintain organized records, view kitten data in the context of relevant care standards, visualize trends over time, and prepare for clearer, better-informed conversations with veterinarians.

What's New in Version 2.9.0 Logging what you notice about a kitten is now simpler. Symptoms, URI signs, and emesis have come together into a single screen, organized by area of the body, so you can record everything you're seeing in one place instead of moving between tabs. We've also refined the care behind weight and stool guidance. Thank you for your practice of care.

What's New in Version 2.8.0 The symptom, URI, and emesis entry screens have been refreshed, with clearer icons and easier-to-tap chips, and each now matches the others in look and feel. You can arrange the Records tabs in the order that suits each kitten, and Clinical Patterns now lives in the header menu, easy to reach from any tab. Cerebellar hypoplasia (CH) joins the built-in diagnoses, ready to record without a custom entry. If you had previously declined camera or photo access, tapping to add a photo now explains how to turn it back on in Settings, rather than quietly doing nothing. We also made a number of smaller improvements throughout. As ever, the app reports what your records show and points you toward a vet conversation. It does not conclude a diagnosis. Thank you for your practice of care.

What's New in Version 2.7.0 Foster Kitten now includes Clinical Patterns, a timeline that brings your kitten's weight, stool, feeding, and symptom observations together in one view. Pan and zoom across days and weeks, and read age-aware trend windows that show what your records reveal over time. As ever, it reports what the numbers show and points you toward a vet conversation. It does not conclude a diagnosis. Weight report PDFs now generate on our servers rather than your device. Long histories and full litters that once strained the app now export reliably, including from the web. The Library's bibliographies are now complete. Every care guide that draws on the veterinary literature carries its sources with it, with tappable links to the original research. We also fixed a crash affecting kittens named with emoji, and made a number of smaller refinements throughout. Thank you for your practice of care.

What's New in Version 2.6.0 Foster Kitten's clinical reasoning reads weight entries with more precision, better distinguishing a short-term dip from a genuine downward trend. Where it once leaned on summary judgments, it now tells you what the numbers show. Foster Kitten now guards against impossible weight entries, such as a weight dated before a kitten's birthday, so your records stay clean and trustworthy. In-app help has grown throughout the app. Nearly every screen now carries guidance. There is also a new Ask About the App, an assistant you can ask how-to questions in your own words. It points you to where things live and how they work. For anything medical, it will always direct you to your veterinarian or shelter coordinator. Foster Kitten's Library materials now carry their sources with them. Select materials include a bibliography of the veterinary literature behind them, with tappable links to the original research, so you can read the source material for yourself. Thank you for your practice of care.

What's New in Version 2.5.0 When you export a patient's records to share with a shelter, vet, or adopter, the work now happens on our side, not your device. Reports come together cleanly whether a kitten has fifty entries or a thousand. The weight tab now features a one-tap export of weight data, ideal for communications with shelters, which often request weight reports. The clinical reasoning engine now reads a kitten's record with more awareness of time. It recognizes when symptoms or conditions are recent, when they have resolved, and when patterns across weight, stool, and respiratory observations may be clinically related. Foster Kitten checks weight entries for plausibility before they're saved. If you enter 0.5 ounces when you meant 0.5 pounds, Foster Kitten catches it and prompts you to double check the unit of measure. When you discharge a kitten from your care, Foster Kitten cancels all scheduled reminders (vaccinations and medication administration). The Reports screen now wears the same header and kitten selector as the rest of the app, so moving between a kitten's progress and their reports feels like one continuous place. Throughout the app, the help content around data exporting has been deepened, helping you learn the different ways to export data and what each is best for. Thank you for your practice of care.

What's New in Version 2.4.0 When a vet sees one of your kittens, you can now record a full physical exam alongside the visit, with the vet's own concern level setting the tone for what surfaces next. If something needs your attention, the app will say so plainly. When a kitten leaves your care, the app's tone shifts with them. Vaccination and medication reminders give way to a record of what you did, and the app stops asking for more. We've also made some improvements to Account Settings. The page reads more clearly down its length, and deleting an account now returns you cleanly to the sign-in screen. After a successful subscription, you'll land on a calmer confirmation screen while everything settles in the background, instead of the brief flicker some of you saw before. Beneath the surface, we've continued tightening reliability — steadier sign-in on slow networks, fewer spurious error reports, and a small but meaningful refinement to how light and dark modes share their color palette. Thank you for your practice of care.

What's New in Version 2.3.0 We've rewritten our hydration recommendations in plainer, more practical language, and tightened the weight notifications to focus on what to do next rather than the statistics behind it. You can now set your timezone directly in account settings, so vaccination reminders arrive at the right time of day when you travel. Beneath the surface, we've continued the reliability work from the last release, including a fallback screen if the web app ever fails to load and quieter handling of background errors that don't affect your records. Thank you for the practice of care you bring to the kittens in your home.

What's New in Version 2.2.0 This release focuses on the foundations beneath the app rather than new features in front of you. We've expanded the automated tests and monitoring around account signup and trial setup, so the moment a new foster joins Foster Kitten is more reliable, and so we notice and resolve any hiccups quickly. Thank you for the care you bring to the kittens in your home.

What's New in Version 2.0.0 Version 2.0 brings substantial improvements across the app, guided by the practice of care we bring to every foster kitten. Shelter Animal ID. A new optional field on patient intake lets you record the shelter-assigned Animal ID for each kitten, so you can communicate unambiguously with the rescue or shelter about a specific animal in your care. The ID appears on the patient's Info tab (now also showing Source Organization), is searchable from the patient list, and is included in every medical record export. Smarter clinical reasoning. Feeding guidance now anchors to the most recent actual weight within each feeding's window, rather than falling back to age-based estimates. Past feeding notifications stay grounded in the weights available at the time, so your record reflects what you actually knew when each feeding happened. Redesigned socialization tracking. Log one observation at a time as you work with your kitten. The checklist narrows through the day as skills are completed, draft work is protected if you navigate away, and the whole experience is now shaped around how socialization actually unfolds in a foster home. Faster, more reliable exports. PDF reports now show progress as they generate, run more smoothly on the web, and handle large reports with clearer feedback. Batch exports across multiple kittens are more dependable. Better image handling. We rebuilt our image caching to use less memory and perform consistently for fosters and organizations tracking high volumes of kittens at once. Baby Book improvements. Photo uploads are now protected against silent loss. If something goes wrong, you're offered a clear choice rather than losing your work. Smoother forms. Longer forms now scroll automatically to keep the active field in view, making data entry more comfortable on every device. Broader error monitoring. We extended our monitoring to the web version of Foster Kitten, so we can catch and resolve issues on every platform our fosters rely on. Under the hood. A unified color system for visual consistency, a new 7-day trial for new subscribers, and many smaller refinements throughout. Foster Kitten grows from the experience of the people who use it. Thank you for the care you bring to the kittens in your home, and for the thoughtful feedback that shaped this release.

What's New in Version 1.9.1 A quick fix. This release resolves an issue that prevented new subscriptions from completing. If you tried to subscribe recently and encountered an error, please try again — and thank you for your patience.

What's New in Version 1.9.0 More sophisticated feeding assessment. This release rethinks how the app evaluates a kitten's feeding. Rather than assessing each session against stomach capacity, the app now considers total intake over a 24-hour window — comparing cumulative volume to what is appropriate for the kitten's body weight and the caloric density of their formula. This better reflects how neonatal feeding actually works: individual sessions are naturally variable, and what matters clinically is whether intake is sufficient across the day as a whole. The voice and framing of feeding guidance have been refined accordingly, continuing our ongoing work under veterinary review to surface the clinical picture in language that supports your practice of care and your communication with your vet. This release also includes bug fixes to data export, improved scrolling behavior in several forms, and more consistent filter chips throughout the app.

What's New in Version 1.8.0 More advanced clinical reasoning for weight and emesis. This release deepens how the app reasons about kitten weight and vomiting. Weight notifications now account more effectively for the time between weigh-ins, the kitten's trajectory, and where their weight sits relative to expected ranges for their age — supporting fosters who weigh their kittens multiple times a day, log entries out of order, or keep different schedules day to day. Emesis reasoning has been reworked under ongoing veterinary review of frequency and persistence. The voice of these notifications has been refined as well. Grounded in contemporary veterinary literature, the guidance you see is written to surface the clinical picture and the reasoning behind it, supporting your practice of care and your communication with your vet. Smoother data export. Sharing reports across iPhone, iPad, and web is more reliable, with better handling of large reports.

What's New in Version 1.7.0 Baby Book. You can now document your kitten's developmental milestones with photos and narrative text, creating a keepsake for adopters. Milestones are organized by category (physical, feeding, behavior, social), and you can add your own. An optional AI assistant helps organize your writing while preserving your voice. When the book is ready, export it as a formatted PDF to hand off with your kitten. Performance improvements. This release addresses eleven issues across battery life, responsiveness, and memory usage. Photo uploads and resizing now happen in the background instead of freezing the interface. The app no longer polls for connectivity on a timer, and multi-kitten users will see significantly reduced battery drain. Dozens of redundant database connections have been consolidated to only the listeners that are actually needed. Tab switches, edits, and navigation are all smoother as a result. Navigation fixes. Tapping a notification in Kitten News now navigates correctly in all cases, and the app no longer loses your place when your subscription status updates.

What's New in Version 1.6.0 Weight unit support. You can now record weights in grams, ounces, or pounds. Each entry displays a conversion to the alternative unit for easy reference. Fixed percentage display for same-day entries. When logging multiple weights in a single day, the "since last entry" percentage could compare against the wrong entry. Percentages now always reflect the correct chronological order.

What's New in Version 1.5.1 Improved weight tracking accuracy when entering historical data. Foster Kitten now correctly analyzes weight trends regardless of the order entries are recorded. Previously, entering past weights (such as when setting up a new kitten with existing records) could produce inaccurate growth assessments. Weight notifications and clinical assessments are now computed correctly for all entry patterns.

What's New in Version 1.5.0 Smarter Health Insights Foster Kitten's clinical engine now evaluates how symptoms interact with each other. When multiple health indicators appear together, the app provides more nuanced assessments that reflect the fuller picture of your kitten's health. Customize Your View Choose which tracking tabs to show or hide based on your workflow. Whether you use every feature or just a few, you can tailor the interface to fit the way you work. Updated Care Guides The resources library has been refreshed with updated guidance to help you provide informed care at every stage.

What's New in Version 1.4.0 AI-Powered Stool Assessment Snap a photo of your kitten's stool and get an instant assessment powered by KittenAI. Review the analysis, make any adjustments, and save the record — complete with the photo — for easy reference by you, your coordinator, or your veterinarian. Test Results Tracking Document results for common and critical kitten tests in one place. Keep a clear record of your kitten's diagnostics alongside the rest of their health history. Resources Library Browse an expanded collection of educational resources covering kitten care essentials — all organized in a new, dedicated library for quick access. Improved Neonatal Feeding Guidance Our clinical engine's feeding recommendations for neonates have been refined through an extensive literature review, delivering more precise guidance for the youngest and most vulnerable kittens.

What's New in Version 1.3.0 Socialization Tracker Track your kitten's socialization milestones across key developmental categories including handling, sounds, surfaces, and social experiences. View session history, monitor daily progress, and ensure your kitten is building confidence during critical developmental windows. Parasite Risk Assessment Evaluate parasite risk based on age, environment, and clinical signs. Receive tailored deworming guidance specific to your kitten's situation. Kitten Development Guides Access age-appropriate development guides that walk you through what to expect and how to support your kitten at each stage — from neonatal care through weaning and beyond. Stool Trends Chart Visualize stool quality over time with a new trends chart featuring age-aware zones, so you can quickly spot patterns and changes. Smarter Clinical Assessments Our clinical engine has been significantly refined based on UC Davis and Cornell veterinary research, plus direct feedback from practicing veterinarians: More accurate feeding frequency and weaning readiness guidance Improved URI assessment with recovery timelines Enhanced neonatal monitoring for aspiration risk and critical diarrhea Better weight tracking with excessive gain detection Onboarding Tips New in-app guidance helps you get the most out of Thimble's features from day one.
