Intake is where the record starts. Make it count.
WhiskerMatch turns intake into structured, reviewable records from day one. Missing fields, owner gaps, and overdue next actions are explicit before any public movement.
Intake notes that never become public records.
Most intake happens on paper, in voice notes, or in spreadsheets that never connect to the public profile. The result: staff re-explain what the intake already said, and adopters read stale or incomplete information.
Structured fields from entry
Intake type, condition, location, and personnel are captured as structured data — not free text that gets misread later.
Missing-field alerts
Critical missing fields are flagged immediately. The case cannot drift forward without the data that downstream decisions depend on.
Owner assignment
Every intake record carries an owner. Unassigned cases are visible in the queue, not hidden in a spreadsheet tab.
Workflow handoff
Intake records route through explicit queue states — review, medical, foster planning, adoption readiness — with handoff notes that travel with the case.
What a structured intake record looks like.
This preview shows the field structure, missing-field alerts, and workflow handoff that keep intake from becoming a dead end.
Queue: needs review → medical exam → foster planning → adoption readiness. Publish remains blocked until required intake fields, owner assignment, and media are complete.
Illustrative. Fields and queue states come from the live shelter workspace.
Start with intake that feeds every downstream decision.
