--- title: "Executive Tour: One Animal, Intake to Adoption" description: "Ten steps through the real WhiskerMatch workspace on synthetic data, from intake to a documented adoption decision, and what is live versus not built yet." canonical: https://www.whiskermatch.com/tour markdown_url: https://www.whiskermatch.com/tour.md generated_from: "canonical page server-rendered HTML; the HTML page is authoritative" last_modified: 2026-10-31 last_updated: 2026-10-31 publisher: "Veldarium Technology Systems LLC" --- Executive product tour # One animal, from intake to adoption, in the working product. WhiskerMatch is operating software for shelters and rescues: one reviewed record per animal that intake, care, fosters, applications and the public adoption page all read from. This tour follows that record through a demonstration organization. The screenshots are of the real workspace; the animals and people in them are invented.

No shelter or rescue has completed a pilot yet, so there are no customers, outcomes or partnerships to report. What follows is what the software does. - ### Live for organizations - The shelter workspace: intake with explicit unknowns, care and veterinary records, holds, fosters and their portal, applications with written decisions, reviewed public profiles, the Today queue, reports, CSV export, roles and the audit log - Founder-led early access at $20/month per organization, no seat fees - ### Built, off until configured - Card billing and donations through Stripe Connect (the organization is the merchant of record) - Application email through Resend - Adoptable-animal listings from RescueGroups.org - ### Demonstration - The synthetic organization in this tour: real software, invented animals and people - The browser-only walkthroughs on the demo page - ### Not built - Automated matching or placement decisions - Integrations with named shelter management systems - Certifications such as SOC 2, or a service-level agreement The story ## Ten steps, each one a stored record and a named person. The same ten steps run inside the demonstration workspace, with a guide that opens each record. Nothing here is scored or decided by software: people decide, and the record shows who. 1. ### 1. An animal comes in Luna, a stray tabby, is in intake review. Her age and vaccination history are recorded as unknown, not guessed, and the microchip search has not been done yet. Luna's intake record: stray, microchip not checked yet, and age, vaccination history and temperament listed as explicitly unknown, with the intake still in review. Screenshot of the workspace, demonstration organization with synthetic data, 31 October 2026. 2. ### 2. Staff capture care information Whiskers' record: a reviewed care story with mobility needs, a medication schedule attributed to the vet who set it, and open questions kept open. 3. ### 3. Readiness and foster Max is in assessment with a blocked task waiting on an isolation-ward clearance. Rocky is in a foster home and his weekly check-in is three days overdue. 4. ### 4. A public profile is reviewed Bella's profile draft is waiting for review. Each sentence lists the record it came from. A person approves it, asks for changes, or holds it. 5. ### 5. An adopter finds the animal Ruby's published profile, as an adopter sees it. Because this organization is synthetic, the page is marked as a demonstration, is never listed on Discover or indexed, and takes no applications. 6. ### 6. An application arrives For a real organization, the adopter applies on that public page and the application lands in this queue. Here, record one by hand: the same applicant record and review queue. 7. ### 7. Staff evaluate it Daisy's application is at reference check. The checklist shows what has and has not been confirmed, and the overdue follow-up task says who owns the next move. 8. ### 8. A person documents the decision Approving requires a written reason and the right role. The screen offers, but does not force, moving Daisy to Adoption pending. Daisy's application at reference check: two checklist lines still open, a written reason typed for approval, and a ticked box offering to mark Daisy adoption pending. Screenshot of the workspace, demonstration organization with synthetic data, 31 October 2026. 9. ### 9. The record stays consistent Daisy's status, lifecycle history, application stage and the audit log all say the same thing. Cooper shows the finished version: intake to adopted, step by step. 10. ### 10. Leadership sees the outcome Reports count intake, outcomes, applications by stage and work waiting on the team, straight from the records above, for the range you pick. Every dataset exports as CSV. The Reports page: animals in care, applications where the next move is the team's, overdue foster check-ins and other counts, with links to CSV exports.
