Purr - Cat Map
Lifestyle
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Walk around. Spot a cat. Drop a pin. Meet every cat in the neighborhood — and help a lost one find home.
Walk around. Spot a cat. Drop a pin. That's the whole app — and somewhere out there, someone is very glad you did.
Purr is the neighborhood cat map: every bodega cat, porch loafer, and alley phantom near you, pinned by neighbors. no trackers, ever.
THE MAP
• Every cat is hand-drawn from its description — coat, pattern, temperament — so pins are recognizable even without a photo. Shy cats squint. Velcro cats beam.
• Pin your spot with one tap, press-and-hold the map, or slide a precision reticle to the exact curb.
• Snap a photo and Purr reads the coat right off it. Share the cat with everyone, or keep a pin just for yourself.
LOST CAT? PURR IS A REUNION ENGINE
• Post a poster and every new sighting nearby is matched against your cat's coat, markings, and photo — leads scored and ranked, right on the poster.
• Share the classic LOST CAT flyer to Instagram or Nextdoor in one tap.
• Neighbors tap "I've Seen This Cat" and the sighting comes pre-filled.
• When they're home, one button takes the poster down. That button is why Purr exists.
CATS THAT FEEL ALIVE
• Full-body cats that blink, breathe, and sway their tails — each on their own rhythm.
• Every cat's page is a little world: the setting comes from where they were spotted, the sky from the hour, the weather from today's actual forecast.
• Night Prowl: a dark mode for the hours cats actually keep, where pins glow like eyes catching a streetlight.
A NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT A FEED
• Rate any cat's friendliness in paws. Under 2.0 earns the official ruling: "Why friend shape, if not friend?"
• Follow your favorites — walk near their spot and your phone taps you on the shoulder.
• "Was he fed today?" answered at a glance. Log meals and water so the whole block knows dinner's handled.
• Cats marked as needing help get a one-tap case card to send to local rescues.
• Earn XP and badges — from First Contact to Guardian Angel — and collect trading cards. Local legends get the foil edition.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Pins carry no names — nothing on the map identifies you.
• Collared cats get their public location blurred to a city block, so nobody can map a cat's doorstep.
• Photos are stripped of location data before upload. Report and block tools on every pin. Delete your account and every trace, any time, in-app.
Purr is free. If it makes your walks better, there's a tip jar — the cats accept tribute but never require it.
Starting in the USA. Be kind to the cats: don't chase, ask before feeding, and leave collared cats be.
