About Catchmemeow
Catchmemeow began life as a homemade gift — a tiny seek-and-find game made for one family’s little ones to play together. It grew, hat by silly hat and world by world, into a daily puzzle for pet lovers of every age.
A game made with love
Every cat, dog, hat, balloon and faraway landmark in Catchmemeow is drawn by hand in code, which is why the worlds can be built fresh every single time you play. There are no timers and nothing to lose. Play a quiet round on your own, send a puzzle to a friend, or share a screen as a family—pointing out the tiny jokes and giggling at the silly hats.
It’s also, quietly, about something bigger. The same drawings that make the game cute are a small nudge toward the real cats and dogs out there waiting for homes.
Meet our pets 🐾
Max, Yogi, Penny and Mika are the real inspiration behind the game — the gentle, goofy, much-loved cats and dogs who remind us every single day how much joy an animal brings to a home. They say thank you for playing! 💛
Why shelter pets matter to us
For every cuddly critter in the game, there’s a real one in a shelter hoping for a family. If Catchmemeow makes someone smile and nudges even one household toward adopting or fostering a real cat or dog, we’ll consider it a runaway success. That’s why we put together a friendly guide to adopting, fostering and caring for pets — please take a look.
The game is free to play. Each week, a real shelter pet gets the spotlight, with an official profile to visit or share. Shelter-confirmed adoption updates give us something to celebrate together. You can help wherever you live: adopt, foster, support a local shelter, or help a pet be seen.
A simple goal for a small project
Craig’s hope is to help pets find homes and cover the actual costs of keeping Catchmemeow online. A few voluntary supporters or a modest local sponsor could make a difference to the game.
Giving to a shelter and supporting Catchmemeow have separate purposes. Shelter donations go through the shelter’s website. Project support helps cover the game’s domain and hosting.
