Are you a shelter or a humane society?

When someone tells you their cat is lost, you can point them to Minou: they add their cat with a photo from their gallery, and the alert can notify neighbours who turned on alerts. It's free for everyone, with no ads, and no data is sold.

What Minou does

Someone adds their cat and starts an alert, for free, even far from home (in the latest version of the app).
The alert can notify neighbours near them who turned on alerts.
Neighbours photograph the cats they meet: each card keeps the photos and their date.
You can search for a cat by name in the app.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't replace your registry, your listings, or a call to animal services.
It doesn't promise to find a cat: the alert reaches as far as the neighbours who have Minou.
It has no tool made for shelters.
It publishes no exact location, except a missing cat's, during their alert.

Privacy

Locations are rounded to about a hundred metres and published 45 minutes later. The exact location only appears for a missing cat, by their owner's decision, and only for sightings after the alert starts, except for a cat added by their owner from home, whose whole history becomes exact during the alert.
