Find Cat Save Dog

Purpose: When a stray or lost cat or dog is found on the street, you can quickly contact a nearby volunteer helper to do the rescue. At the same time, the pet owners can easily locate their lost pet.
Supported Region: Hong Kong

Usage:
(1) When you discover cats and dogs on the street, you can immediately upload their photos to “Find Cat and Save Dog” by mobile phone, (or repost the information from the website/facebook), enter the time and location of discovery, characteristics, etc., so that surrounding volunteers can immediately get to the place for the rescue.
(2) The owners/volunteers can input the characteristics, time and place of the lost pet, and “Find Cat Save Dog” will match with its database and notify the post authors.

Advantages:
(1) Wide Territoriality: no longer limited to a certain area, or individual volunteer groups, so as to condense more manpower.
(2) Feature matching: no need to find a needle in a haystack, group by group, or even post by post. Just enter the screening features/conditions, and “Find Cat Save Dog” will make a match, making it easier for the owners to find their pets and for the pet founder to contact nearby volunteers.
(3) Push notification: You can choose to receive push notification from your preferred setting. When there are stray/lost pets in your selected area, it sends out push notification to you so that you don’t have to receive irrelevant information.
(4) Initiative: Volunteers don't have to spend time on browsing facebook/groups/websites but “Find Cat Save Dog” will notify you.
(5) Immediacy: No longer spending time on posting on the website or facebook group but fearing that others will miss it. By the use of this app, you can promptly release information whilst the volunteers receive it at once to avoid missing any rescue time.
