Street cats turn up on a real map of your own neighbourhood. Reach them, and then make the call that matters — trap-neuter-return, foster, or find them a home. You are not collecting cats. You are running a small rescue on no money, and every choice costs something.

A rescue, not a collection
Real map tiles under our own overlay. Cats wander their territories and fade out of sight behind cars and hedges. One walks into you and the encounter starts — you do not go clicking pins.
A target ring shrinks and snaps back. Release as it closes — the tighter the ring, the better the throw. Soften a cat with food first, then throw a carrier and roll for it.
Trust in a colony rises once a day however far you travelled to get there, and it pushes your reach out across the map. Cover ground for breadth, or work one patch for depth. Both get you cats.
Real feline genetics underneath — the orange gene rides the X, which is why the gingers are toms and the torties are queens. Every cat you neuter ends a line. Every one that gets away makes its colour louder six weeks later.
Storm drains, dumpster rows, derelict barns, crawlspaces. Most searches find nothing — that is the honest version — but some turn up a litter, a stash, or something at the back that will not run because it cannot.
Adoptions pay a re-homing fee. Neutering costs a real vet bill. Fosters cost you every single day. Apply for grants and wait. Growing too fast is how small rescues fold.
Feral has an opinion, and it says so out loud
A cat with a clipped left ear has already been through all this — somebody trapped, neutered and returned it. Log it and leave it be. Re-trapping a tipped cat wastes a trap and a vet slot another cat needed.
Free limited beta · nothing for sale
Sideload it. Enable “Unknown Sources” in your Android settings first. There is no Play Store build, no account, no ads and nothing to buy.
⬇ DOWNLOAD APKThe same game, no install. Give it location when it asks — that is how it draws your patch. It runs best on a phone-shaped window.
▶ OPEN /play/Location — to build your patch around where you are. Coarse is enough. Never in the background: Feral does not track you while it is closed, and the stationary design is the reason it does not have to.
Camera — optional, for the scene view. Refuse it and the game plays perfectly well without.
