Lists that update automatically
Choose conditions such as Cat and Neutered: No. The list includes animals whose records match, and updates as those records change.
Animal ListsStop losing animals in spreadsheets.
Whether you’re a volunteer-run rescue or a shelter processing hundreds of animals a year, Pawsies replaces the scattered spreadsheets, group chats and paper files with one record per animal: searchable, current, and still complete after the person who wrote it moves on.
No credit card required. Set up in minutes.
Everything you need to run a rescue
One profile per animal, whatever the species
Cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and wildlife are ready to use. Add other animal types and configure fields for each one. Keep identification, photos, care information and history together in the animal’s profile.
- Default and custom animal types
- Fields configured by animal type
- Photos and identifying details
- Search by name or microchip number
Keep medical information with the animal
Record prescribed medication schedules, log doses and attach veterinary documents to the animal’s record. Add tasks for follow-up appointments so the team can see what needs to happen next.
- Medication courses and doses
- Follow-up tasks
- Veterinary documents and notes
- Expenses linked to animals
See who is fostering each animal
A foster placement links the animal to its carer, with a start date and notes. Review active placements and past stays, and find the carer’s contact details when you need to get in touch.
- Active and completed placements
- Placement start dates
- History on the animal record
- Carer contact details
From arrival to adoption, with records attached
Record an animal’s arrival, update its adoption status and link its adopter. Keep contracts with the relevant records and add an outcome when the animal leaves care.
- Intake and outcome records
- Adoption status
- Adopter contacts
- Attached contracts
Map colonies and organise their records
Create a location for each colony and assign its cats. Record neuter and ear-tip status, log feeding rounds and use the location’s animal list to plan the next visit.
- Location maps
- Individual cat records
- Population history by location
- Feeding records

Keep income and expenses organised
Record payments and donations, and link expenses to animals, locations or contacts. Attach receipts and use the available summaries and exports when preparing financial reports.
- Income and expenses
- Donor and sponsor records
- Receipts and invoices
- Reports and CSV exports
Keep related information together
Link care tasks, documents and expenses to the animal they concern. Your team can find related information from its record and use the wider lists to organise work.
Give each task an assignee and due date
Assign feeding, cleaning, veterinary visits and follow-ups to team members. Add a repeat schedule for regular jobs.
Tasks
Find documents with the relevant record
Attach contracts, test results and veterinary notes to animal records. A document can also link to other supported records, such as a contact or expense.

"A Foster Agreement Is an Ownership Document, Not a Care Manual"
"Most foster agreements spend three pages on feeding and leash rules and one sentence on who owns the animal. That is the wrong ratio. Here is a ten-clause agreement you can copy, and the argument for why the care rules should be taken out of it entirely."
Colony & TNR
Rehoming a Rescue Dog to Another EU Country Is Not a Pet Passport Move
An adoption transfers ownership, which puts a cross-border rescue transport outside the pet passport regulation entirely. The sending establishment must be approved by its competent authority, and every animal needs an official health certificate issued within 48 hours of departure.
DogsThe Conflict That Breaks a Rescue Is Not Financial
The IRS sample conflict of interest policy defines the problem as a financial one, so the copy in your binder does nothing about the conflicts that damage rescues — who gets first refusal on the adoptable dog, whose friend gets the fee waived, which household the good foster animals go to. A nine-article policy that covers those, plus the argument that a bylaw banning insider payment governs it worse than permitting it under conditions.
A growing community of animal carers.
