Seven apps with one purpose: make sure street animals are seen, fed and given a home. The apps for the street are free. The apps for pets at home pay for them, and for meals.
In every city there are people who feed, rescue and rehome street animals. What they lack is a way to see where help is needed, find each other, and keep going without running out of money.
An animal in trouble on the map, with a photo and what it needs, so it is never passed by twice.
Feeders, drivers, rescuers, vets, shelters and butchers who can see who is already on the way, and who is covering which street.
Apps that pet owners pay for, each sending a published share of its revenue to meals for the animals that have no owner at all.
Nobody who feeds, rescues or adopts an animal ever pays. Rescues and shelters can choose a paid plan on Adopt-a-Paw, and half of that funds meals.
So no animal is passed by twice.

The scenery, tiles and pictures change; the buttons never do, so every app stays easy to use. Pick a skin once and it follows you into every a-Paw app.
Every a-Paw app has a job in feeding street animals. The share is written down in advance, so it can be checked.
Free forever. It earns nothing; the paid apps pay for it.
10% of net revenue funds meals from day one, rising to 20% once the a-Paw apps together cover their running costs for three months in a row.
50% of net revenue from shelter plans. Adopters never pay.
Sells nothing. Gifts made on this website go to the food truck operation.
Net revenue is what a customer pays, minus GST and the app store’s fee. On a A$49.99 yearly plan that is about A$38.63, so A$3.86 funds meals at 10%, or A$7.73 at 20%. The share comes out of our revenue: a subscriber pays only the price of the app. Each year we publish how many meals the apps funded.
Rescuers are short of time, not of care. We use AI where it saves them minutes: turning a photo into a draft, spotting a duplicate, translating, planning a round. Three rules apply everywhere.
AI suggests; people check and choose. Nothing is posted, matched or sent on an AI’s say-so alone, and every suggestion can be corrected.
Animals, feeders and homes are shown by area, not by exact spot. Colonies and people are safer when they can’t be pinpointed.
On these pages every feature says whether it works today, is coming soon, or is planned. We would rather under-promise.
Spot a Paw began on the streets of Cairo, in Arabic and English. Nothing about the apps is tied to one place: a map, a community, a round of feeding spots and a shelter work the same in Lisbon, Lagos or Bangkok.
