Shelter management software

# One system for the work that happens before the public profile.

Shelters and rescues run intake, review, foster coordination, and placement records across fragmented tools. WhiskerMatch brings those workflows into one reviewed system so teams can see state, ownership, and source context without retracing the record.

What it replaces

## Spreadsheets, inboxes, and group chats are not a placement system.

Moving one animal from intake to placement often touches shelter software, a spreadsheet, an inbox and a group chat. Each handoff between them is a place where context gets retyped or lost.

### Intake to record in one flow

Intake type, condition, location, and personnel are structured at entry. Critical missing fields and owner gaps are flagged before the case drifts.

### Applicant review with pipeline states

Applications move through explicit states, needs review, in progress, documents, pickup, with owner attribution and due dates visible to the whole team.

### Foster coordination that stays visible

Check-ins, behavior notes, and medical flags route to the animal record instead of disappearing into group chats. The handoff to adoption starts from real data.

### Human review before every publish

No organization-owned animal profile goes public without a named reviewer signing off. AI may prepare sourced profile wording; staff edit, save, review, and publish.

Built for the work

## Shelter software should reduce friction, not add another login.

WhiskerMatch is priced at $20/month per organization with no seat limits. Add staff, volunteers, and fosters without penalty. Browsing and applying stay free for adopters.
