Hermes is part of a wild colony living on an abandoned farm outside Dublin. As a tiny kitten he developed a severe eye infection with no one to help him. He survived on strong genetics and pure stubbornness — by the time we found him, he'd already lost the eye. His spirit hadn't gone anywhere.
He has a brother, Finley, who also nearly didn't make it. We got to Finley just in time — he's now one of our four indoor/outdoor cats. We were too late to bring Hermes in back then, but he's thrived outdoors regardless. They had a sister who we fought hard for. She didn't make it, earlier in 2025.
Most recently in 2026, Hermes has gone missing, to our shock and utter sadness. We hold out hope that his journey, which is why Cat Weather exists, is not over and he will turn up soon — in the meantime we continue to take care of the others - every Cat Weather download matters.
We found this colony and started visiting regularly. Over time we got every cat neutered, set up automatic feeders so they're covered when we can't be there, and handle all vet visits ourselves. Any kitten born before we got the neutering done has been rehomed through our own network — no shelters, direct to vetted homes.
Four of the cats that needed more care than farm life allows now live with us as indoor/outdoor cats. The rest have a safe, fed, neutered existence on land they've always known.
Bangkok has a significant street cat population. Every day we're there, we run feeding routes — the same cats, same spots, morning and evening. We know most of them individually. When a cat is sick or injured we get them to the vet. When there are kittens, we work our network to get them into homes.
Thailand's relationship with street animals is complex — many people feed strays informally but organised neutering is underfunded. We work with a local low-cost clinic to get colony cats neutered where we can, particularly females before another litter arrives.
It's not a charity. It's just what we do when we're there, every time, without exception. The apps fund the food, the vet bills, and the transport.
No organisation. No overhead. No fundraising campaigns. We spend our own time and money on this, and app revenue makes it sustainable. When you buy an IAP or download a paid app, a direct and literal portion of that goes toward feeding and treating cats in two countries. That's the whole model.
If you want to contribute directly to vet bills and feeding costs, Bitcoin is the cleanest way. No fees eaten by payment processors, no accounts required. Every satoshi goes to the cats.
Donations are voluntary and not tax-deductible. This is not a registered charity. Funds go directly to animal care costs.
