Capture real cats as stickers, collect them in albums, share them on social media, play cat games and climb the rankings. Free on iPhone and Android, Dec 1.

Every day I’d meet a cat on my walk, take a photo and never look at it again. I wanted a place where those cats add up to something: a sticker today, a whole story a year from now.”

— Stefano Lodola, founder of CapCats

SHERIDAN, WY, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CapCats, a new cat spotting app for iPhone and Android, launches on December 1, 2026. It’s Pokémon GO, but with real cats: users capture the cats they meet as stickers, collect each cat in an album of its own, play daily cat games and climb the rankings. The free app has already collected hundreds of pre-orders on the App Store and Google Play in a few days ahead of launch.

What is cat spotting?

Cat spotting is the habit of stopping to photograph the cats you meet in everyday life: the cafe cat, the bodega cat, the stray on the corner who waits by the same doorstep every morning, the shy kitty at the shelter. Cat lovers share these sightings all over the internet, but most of the photos end up lost in a camera roll nobody scrolls back through. CapCats turns cat spotting into a collection.

Only real cats, no AI

Every cat in CapCats is captured live with the in-app camera. There are no AI-generated cats and no uploads from the device gallery, so every sticker is a real cat that someone actually met. That keeps every collection authentic and every ranking fair.

How CapCats works

1. Spot a cat and capture it with the CapCats camera.
2. CapCats turns the cat into a sticker.
3. Name the cat, and it gets an album of its own.
4. Meet the same cat again and add the new captures to its album.

Cats don’t wait for the perfect shot, so CapCats doesn’t either: users keep snapping while the stickers are made, even with no signal.

“I built CapCats for people like me, who can’t walk past a cat without taking a photo,” said Stefano Lodola, founder of CapCats. “Months later, you press Play on a cat’s album and see the whole story. The kitten that grew up. The scruffy stray that ended up with a collar.”

Six daily cat games

CapCats turns each player’s own cat captures into six games, including a memory game, a jigsaw puzzle, a sliding puzzle and a falling-block puzzle. Each game can be played once a day, so there’s a new reason to open the app every morning.

Rankings for every kind of cat lover

CapCats ranks the best cat photos, the most loved cats, the top collectors and the top game players.

More features

– Play: a cat’s album plays back as a short story, like a kitten growing up or a rescue cat getting healthier.
– Cat meme maker: add a few words above and below a cat to make a meme in seconds.
– Easy sharing: send stickers and memes to Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, iMessage and other apps in a couple of taps.
– Just cats: a feed of the kitties other people have met, with the noise of the world cut out. No headlines, no rage bait.

Privacy built in

Users decide what others see. Any cat, or any single photo, can be kept private, and the location of a capture can be hidden.

Helping shelter cats find homes

CapCats also gives cat shelters and rescue groups a place to showcase cats available for adoption. A shelter can give each adoptable cat an album of its own and share it with someone who might give that cat a home. Shelters can join now at stefano@capcats.app.

Free to use

All CapCats features are free. Users who want to support the project can pay a small fee and get a lifetime Early Pawtron badge.
