A Chrome micro-extension for children aged 6–12. Your child finds a scared, recently-rescued cat. Over 7 days they feed her, play with her, and watch her transform. When she's healthy, a real cat at tailsabode.uk is waiting for them.
The real reason we built this: in the UK, many 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 with a 14-day score.
Real animals are waiting at tailsabode.uk. Your child has already shown they can care for one. The bridge is intentional and gentle.
"After speaking with UK 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 Tails Abode Pet 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 (under 2 minutes). 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 14-day 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 at tailsabode.uk appears. Filtered by region and family profile.
No ads. No in-app purchases. No social sharing. No camera or microphone. COPPA-compliant. No user data leaves the device.
100% free. No account needed for the child. Parent dashboard optional.
