 The Best Feeder Ever! 




 Why Catspad?

Our expert team of professional designers and technicians developed Catspad to respect the cats’ nature and answer to cat owners needs. Its technology and design provide an amazing experience for both, cats and cats owners. 

1.  Catspad food dispenser enables you to feed your cats just like the wild typical ones; it has a small bowl that allows to dispense small amounts of food frequently throughout the day. Its sealed reservoir conserves kibbles for one month and keeps them fresh and strong

2.  Catspad water dispenser makes it attractive for cats; it keeps the water running and fresh and encourages cats to drink more. The water dispenser includes a filter, which removes bad tastes and smells annoying for cats.

3.  CATSPAD’s size and format will blend seamlessly with your home decor. It’s electrically powered, and also equipped with a battery in case of a power outage.




 How Does it work?

Catspad can be installed in easy steps, all what you have to do is:

  1. Turn on your Catspad
  2. Download Catspad application
  3. Connect your Catspad to your Wi-Fi network (Following the App's instructions)
  4. Identify your cat (Manually, by using a collar or your cat's subcutaneous chip)
  5. Enter your cat's information (Photo, name, age, etc..)
  6. If you have more than one cat, you just have to repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 for each one and you will be able to check each cat's consumption individually.

  7. Stay connected to your cats!


 The Catspad App

With Catspad, our smart cat feeder, the mobile application and all the services are totally free. In the first time, the app will be available for iOS and Android. Windows Phone and Webapp platforms will come shortly after the first releases. Catspad also works for multiple cat profiles per users.


What Can You Plan Using The App?

1. The water fountain:

  • You can activate the water fountain continuously
  • You can activate or deactivate the pump of the fountain at anytime you want (Example: You want it to be turned off during night because you don’t want to hear the sound of the water flowing )
  • You can activate it only when the cat is near the Catspad

Notes:

  • We advise to keep the fountain active all the time, because the moving water will attract your cat and encourage him to drink more, which will keep him healthy and therefore avoid many health problems.
  • To keep the water healthy, the pump should be activated once every 1 hour. So even if you deactivate the fountain, the Catspad's pump will be activated automatically to replace the water in the bowl with a fresh one.

2. The kibbles stock:

Catspad can distribute the kibbles with exact quantities and at specific time during the day and as much times as you want. Scheduling the meals is as easy as setting an alarm on your smartphone. You can setup the time, the frequency and the quantity for the kibbles distribution. (Example: from 7:00 am till 7:00pm, 3 times everyday or just on Sunday, 25 grams each time). You can also schedule meals as much as you want.


3. Supplies notification

With the default settings, Catspad will automatically alert you if the level of supplies is too low (3 days before it gets empty). You can change the alert setting and make it 7 days before, for example.


4. What to do if a power outage happens when you are away from home?

In case of power outage, Catspad has a backup battery that can last for one month. If your internet box doesn’t work and you are no longer connected to Internet, your Catspad will not be able to send updates to your mobile, though it will continue to take care of your cat by distributing the kibbles as per the last schedule setting and activating the water fountain every one hour. The objective is to keep the main utilities of the machine functioning, which are the food dispenser and the water fountain.

 Where We Are and Where We are going

The funds we will receive from this campaign will help us to further develop our project, we actually need 100,000 Dollars to finalize it. You can check the breakdown of the tasks we worked on and what we are aiming to accomplish after the campaign below:


 Our Amazing Team

Catspad is the fruit of trusted friendship between Julie & Brice, friends from high school.

They went last year on vacation and left Mozart, Julie’s cat, with a friend who got sick. Sadly, Julie and Brice had to cut their vacation short in order to return and take care of Mozart.

Brice, an engineer and a big fan of technology, asked himself: « why is there no smart product that can help us take care of our cat and save our vacations? »

This is when they embarked on their big adventure.

Julie and Brice decided to adapt connected technology to facilitate the life of cat's owners by creating a new smart dispenser for cats. They decided on asking cat lovers from different sectors to help them develop the project.

Catspad was born and the team was created  with Mozart, our everyday inspiration manager!

 Risks & Challenges 

Every new and innovative project involves risks, but we are doing our best to minimize those risks. There may be manufacturing and production delays that are out of our control, we promise timely and transparent communication throughout the process. 

We are motivated about our amazing project, we created a trustworthy team. We believe in our idea and worked hard to do what we have done within a short time frame. 

Above all, we are cats owners and we developed Catspad with the help of other pet owners, that is why we are sure that our product is useful for any cats owner. Our only goal is to succeed and make the life of all cat owners easier.

With our expert team and with YOUR SUPPORT, we are going to achieve our goal, and produce Catspad and deliver it on time.
