Humane, Sustainable Solutions for Stray Cats: Balancing Urban Coexistence and Ecosystem Protection
We focused our design efforts on the Dahlia area in Eastgardens, where stray cats near a childcare center have raised health, safety, and environmental concerns. Through primary research—including interviews, observations, and data analysis—we identified key issues and developed multiple design concepts, which we evaluated and refined through community feedback. By combining the best ideas into a prototype and iterating based on local input, we created a comprehensive solution that supports safe and sustainable coexistence.
Through AI shelters and a digital platform, we enable adoption, care, and monitoring to ensure humane, healthy coexistence with stray cats.
Our AI-driven shelters identify species, monitor health and behavior in real time, and sync data to an online platform to foster community engagement and transparency. The system ensures timely medical care, promotes desexing and adoption, and uses smart features like auto-locking doors to protect both stray cats and public health. Designed for mobility and sustainability, the model is scalable and adaptable, offering a replicable solution for communities facing similar stray cat challenges.
