The purrrfect icebreaker

Cat lovers helping each other.
No money. No middlemen. Just community.
CatChat is a free community where cat owners, sitters, and cat lovers find each other — through mutual matching. You're never cold-contacted. You always stay in control. And it costs absolutely nothing.
Did you know?
In Sweden, it is illegal to leave your cat unattended for more than 24 hours.
Under the Swedish Animal Welfare Act (2018:1192), every cat owner is legally responsible for ensuring their cat receives daily care. Travel, late nights, long weekends — you need a plan. CatChat exists to help you find someone you genuinely trust, not just someone available on a booking platform.
How CatChat works
Three steps to your perfect match. No fees. No awkward cold messages.
Create your profile
Tell us about you and your cat. Add photos, personality, care needs — everything a great sitter needs to know.
Swipe & match
Browse nearby profiles and like the ones that feel right. Only when it's mutual do you connect — no unwanted messages, ever.
Chat directly
Talk to your match, arrange a meet & greet, and leave a review after. Direct, personal, and built on trust.
Matching is always mutual — no one can contact you without your approval. 🔒
Find the care that fits you best
You connect directly. No middlemen, no booking fees.
Built for trust from the ground up
We're a community, not a marketplace. Every feature is designed to keep you safe and in control.
Mutual matching only
Nobody can message you unless you've both swiped right. You are always in control of who can reach you.
Email verified accounts
Every member verifies their email before joining. No anonymous profiles, no fake accounts.
Cat knowledge quiz
Sitters earn a Cat Approved badge by passing a 10-question quiz. Proof they actually understand cats.
Verified reviews
Only matched members can leave reviews. Every rating is real, from someone who actually met them.
Block & report
Block or report any user instantly. Our moderation team reviews every report within 24 hours.
GDPR compliant
Your data lives in the EU. We never sell it. You can request full deletion any time — it's your right.
A true cat community — not a marketplace
We don't charge. We don't take cuts. We simply connect cat people who want to help each other.

Community
A warm, welcoming community of cat lovers. Rate, review, and build trust together.
What our community says
From our beta community and cat café regulars.
“I've been asking for something like this for years. I travel a lot and always felt guilty leaving my cat. Now I found someone local I actually trust — and it cost nothing. This is exactly what the cat community needed.”
“I moved to Stockholm and didn't know anyone. My cat literally introduced me to my best friend through this app. I never expected to build a genuine friendship through cat sitting but here we are.”
“The Cat Approved quiz is a brilliant idea — it genuinely filters people who understand cats. My profile gets so much more trust now. And knowing it's all free makes it feel like a real community, not a business.”
Built different. On purpose.
We took the best parts of every platform — and left out everything that doesn't belong in a cat community.

Cats break the ice.
Friendships are the real product.
Making friends as an adult is hard. In Sweden, it can feel especially difficult — people are warm but reserved. The barrier to saying “hey, want to hang out?” is enormous. But show up with a cat, and everything changes.
CatChat was born from that observation. Cats are the world's best social ice breaker. A shared love for cats is an instant, genuine connection — the kind that leads to real friendships, not just transactions.
We're not a cat-sitting marketplace. We're not Rover or Airbnb for pets. We're a community — the kind where you meet your neighbor through their tabby, discover you both love the same coffee spot, and end up having someone you genuinely trust care for your cat.
No money. No bookings. No awkward cold messages. Just cat people finding each other — and sometimes, finding lifelong friends along the way.
“We built CatChat because cats deserve someone who genuinely cares — and because people deserve real connection. It turns out, you often find both at the same time.”
