Computer Science Capstone Students Create "Purrfect" App to Help Care for Campus Kitties
Georgia Tech’s campus is home to over 40 feral and stray cats, cared for by the student group GT Campus Cats. This organization, run by undergraduates, handles feeding, shelter, trap-neuter-return (TNR), fostering, and veterinary care for the feline residents.
Computer science students developed a new mobile-friendly app as part of a capstone project to streamline their efforts. The app allows anyone with a GT login to view cat profiles, see a map of sightings, and report new ones, while special permissions protect sensitive information like feeding station locations.
Curious about how students built this “purrfect” app and the impact it’s having? Read the full story for all the details and heartwarming moments behind Georgia Tech’s feline friends.
