Cattery management software for cat breeders
Running a cattery is a full-time passion — even when it's not your full-time job. felineStudio brings together everything you manage in a single workspace: your cats, their health history and pedigrees, your litters, your buyers, and your paperwork. No more scattered spreadsheets. No more missed reminders. Just a clean system built around how breeders actually work.
Your cats. Every detail. One place.
Every cat in your cattery gets a complete profile — not just a name, but microchip number, registration number, EMS code, health history, DNA results, and photos. The EMS field validates the FIFe standard in real time: type a color code and it checks the breed-color combination instantly, flagging conflicts before they become a problem. As your cats move through their life — from kitten to active breeding to retired — their status keeps your records automatically organized. Upload multiple photos per cat, choose a primary one for the gallery and lists, and reorder them whenever you like.
Plan every pairing with confidence.
Before you decide on a mating, felineStudio shows you the inbreeding coefficient — calculated with Wright's formula, the same method used by FIFe and WCF. The pedigree tree goes back up to seven generations. Use the Trial Mating tool to check the projected COI for any two cats before you commit. When you need a pedigree certificate, one click exports a landscape Ahnentafel PDF. And if you've acquired a cat with only a paper pedigree? Photograph it, and the OCR scanner extracts the ancestors automatically — names, registration numbers, EMS codes, and titles — for you to review and import.
See which colors this litter could produce.
The coat color calculator gives you a probability table of offspring colors — displayed as EMS codes with percentages — before a single kitten is born. It handles X-linked orange, dilution, silver, pointing, white spotting, and the full range of breed-specific combinations. Use it inside the app when planning a litter.
Health history your whole cattery can rely on.
Every vaccination, DNA test, deworming, weight check, and clinical observation goes on the cat's health tab — organized in a timeline, not buried in a spreadsheet. Have a stack of old vaccination passports? The OCR scanner reads them and imports the records in minutes. When a vaccination is coming due, felineStudio sends an email reminder so nothing slips through.
From mating date to kitten handover, tracked every step.
Enter the mating date and felineStudio calculates the expected due date (63 days). As the litter progresses — planned, expecting, born, weaned, closed — the status keeps everything visible at a glance. Record the birth date, litter count, and individual kittens; each kitten automatically gets their own profile linked to the litter and its parents. If a dam is approaching her third litter within two years, the system flags it — a reminder of responsible breeding ethics.
A gallery that works for you, 24/7.
Give your cattery a public presence without building a separate website. Each cattery gets a gallery page at its own URL — shareable on social media, in breeder groups, or anywhere you communicate with buyers. Available kittens show with their photos, EMS code, sex, and litter. Breeding cats and other adults can be displayed too, giving buyers a full picture of your program. Mark any litter or cat visible in one click, and hide them again just as easily.
From first inquiry to signed contract — no buyer falls through.
Embed the buyer inquiry form on your own website or link to it from the gallery. When someone fills it out, their contact details and preferences land directly in your waiting list — with GDPR consent recorded automatically, no manual step required. Your waiting list is a kanban board: entries move from Waiting through Matched and Contracted as the process progresses. Drag entries to set priority. When a litter is born, match available kittens to the right buyers in a single dialog. Create the contract directly from the buyer's card. If a contract is cancelled, the buyer automatically returns to the waiting list.
Built for registered breeders — from small hobby catteries to serious operations.
felineStudio is designed for pedigree cat breeders — from hobby breeders with a handful of cats to professional operations running several litters a year. The free plan gives you the full core system: cat records, pedigrees, health tracking, litters, waiting list, and contracts. The paid plan allows unlimited litters for big catterys. The interface is available in German, English, Spanish, French, and Polish.
Your spreadsheet doesn't know what your cats need.
Spreadsheets are general-purpose tools — and that's exactly the problem. When you're managing two litters at once, a waiting list of ten buyers with different preferences, and vaccination reminders for 15 cats, the manual cross-referencing becomes a job in itself. A spreadsheet can't match a buyer's preferences to available kittens. It can't flag a dam approaching her third litter in two years. It doesn't track whether spay/neuter proof arrived or whether papers were released. It doesn't remind you that a vaccination is due in three weeks. And when a formula breaks silently, you may not catch it until something has already gone wrong. felineStudio handles all of this — not as separate tools, but as one connected system.
Frequently asked questions
I only have a few cats. Is this too much software for me?
Not at all. The free plan is designed for small catteries and includes everything — cat profiles, health records, pedigree tracking, litter management, waiting list, and contracts. Many breeders start small and appreciate having a clean system from the beginning rather than migrating from spreadsheets later.
How long does it take to get started?
Most breeders are up and running in one session. The onboarding wizard walks you through your cattery details, registries, and first cats. Paper pedigrees and vaccination passports can be scanned and imported instead of entered manually.
Can I use it on my phone at the vet or at a show?
Yes. felineStudio is a progressive web app — install it to your home screen and it works like a native app on Android and iOS.
What happens when I photograph a pedigree?
Upload the photo and the AI engine reads it — extracting ancestor names, registration numbers, EMS codes, and titles. You review the results in an editable tree before anything is saved. Ancestors that match cats already in your system are linked automatically.
How does the inbreeding calculation work?
felineStudio uses Wright's formula, the same method used by FIFe registries. It searches up to 10 generations of pedigree data for common ancestors. The result is shown on every cat profile and every trial mating — color-coded so the risk level is immediately clear.
Can this really replace Excel for my cattery?
For the work that actually matters in a cattery — tracking cats and litters, managing buyers, generating contracts, and monitoring finances — yes. The things Excel can't do: match buyers to kittens, remind you of vaccination deadlines or manage your inquiries.
Is there a free plan, and what does it include?
Yes — and it's not a time-limited trial. The free plan includes cat profiles, health records, pedigree with inbreeding calculation, litter management, the waiting list, and contract generation. It's designed for breeders who want a proper system without a monthly subscription.
