A Chrome micro-extension for children aged 6–12. Your child finds a scared, recently-rescued cat. Day by day they feed her, play with her, and watch her transform. When she's healthy, your family can explore real animals on our adoption platform together.
The real reason we built this: a significant share of adopted pets are returned within their first year because families weren’t prepared. This helps them get ready before bringing an animal home.
She's just arrived from a shelter. Thin, cautious, sitting in the corner. Your child places her food, speaks softly, gives her space.
She starts to eat more, starts to follow your child around. Daily tasks: feed, clean her space, play with the toy mini-game.
She purrs. She's home. She trusts your child completely. The parent readiness report unlocks.
Once your child has shown they can care for a virtual cat, our adoption-platform integration will surface real animals from verified shelters. See our roadmap.
"After speaking with rescues, the pattern was clear: the most heartbreaking adoptions are the ones that get returned. Not because the family was cruel — because they were unprepared. We built TailsAbode Kids to give families a safe way to find that out before the animal moves in."
The cat reacts with delight to care. Daily tasks are short and gentle. We never lecture. Responsibility is learned through doing.
Missing a day makes her a little droopy. She bounces back immediately when the child returns. No guilt. No punishment. Only encouragement.
Warm palette. No competitive elements. No dark humour. No disturbing imagery. Calming, structured, always encouraging.
Daily care sessions, streaks, missed events, and a readiness score. Turns virtual responsibility into a real-world conversation you can have with confidence.
A classroom account for up to 30 student pets. Assign collective care tasks. Track progress together. Integrated into science and values education.
When the cat reaches the "Home" phase, a curated view of real animals from our adoption platform will appear. See our roadmap for upcoming integrations.
