Animal rescue run by neighbours

From a street report to a medical record, without losing the thread

Caramelitos is the community app to report an animal on the street, follow its rescue, and keep your own pets healthy: an up-to-date medical record and a push reminder for every check-up.

Willingness was never the problem

Every link in the chain lives somewhere else: a WhatsApp group, a rescuer’s memory, a notebook on the clinic counter.

  • The alert arrives late, or never

    A photo in a group of a thousand people is not an alert. Nobody knows who is nearby or who already went.

  • Nobody knows how it ended

    The case gets lost between the rescue and the treatment. Without closure there is no learning and no trust.

  • After the rescue, nobody keeps the record

    The vaccine, the check-up, the dewormer. If it is not written down with a date, the next dose gets missed.

Four states, one thread

Every case moves along the same timeline, with notifications to everyone involved on each change.

  1. 1

    Reported

    Someone reports

    Photo, species, description, and automatic location. The report shows up on the map instantly.

  2. 2

    In progress

    A rescuer goes

    Rescuers inside the radius get the push. The first one to tap “I’m going” takes the case and the chat opens.

  3. 3

    Rescued

    The animal is safe

    The rescuer finds the nearest clinic on the map and refers the case with one tap.

  4. 4

    Treated

    The clinic closes the case

    The vet treats the animal, files the medical record, and the case closes with full traceability.

Everything the app does

Report, follow the case, and keep your pets healthy from the same place. Free, always.

  • Report in a minute

    Photo, species, description, and automatic location. The case lands on the neighbourhood map instantly.

  • Whoever is nearby gets the alert

    The push goes to rescuers inside the report radius, not to a group of a thousand people.

  • Follow the case

    Chat with whoever took the rescue and get a push on every state change, until the animal is treated.

  • Medical record for your pets

    Vaccines, check-ups, surgeries, and treatments with dates, filed by the clinic and visible in the app.

  • Push reminders

    The app tells you about the next dose or check-up before it slips. No calendar, no sticky notes.

  • Clinics on the map

    Address, hours, and who takes emergencies, so you know where to take an animal right now.

Four roles, different permissions

Everyone sees exactly what they need to do their part.

  • Neighbour

    Flags a lost animal or one that needs help, finds clinics nearby, follows the map and the neighbourhood feed, and chats with the rescuer who took the case.

  • Rescuer

    Gets proximity alerts, taps “I’m going”, logs the rescue, and refers to a registered clinic.

  • Clinic

    Receives referrals, treats, files medical records, and runs its schedule from the web dashboard.

  • Moderation

    Reviews flagged reports, hides content, and suspends abusive accounts.

What it looks like

Frequently asked questions

Is the app free for people who report?

Yes. Reporting, browsing the map, and chatting cost nothing, and that is not planned to change: without neighbours reporting there is no network.

How are the alerted rescuers chosen?

By geographic proximity. The backend computes which rescuers fall inside the report’s radius and pushes them; if their app is open, the case shows up straight on the map.

Can I keep my pet’s medical record?

Yes. Every vaccine, check-up, or treatment the clinic files is dated on the animal’s record and you see it in the app, without asking anyone for it.

How do the reminders work?

When the clinic files something with a next date (a vaccine, a check-up), the app pushes you before it is due. Nothing to schedule by hand.

What happens to the data of treated animals?

The medical record belongs to the clinic that files it. The owner sees a summary and their reminders in the app; nothing is published to the feed.

What state is the project in?

The mobile app is in development with the report and rescue loop working, and the clinic dashboard is at this stage running on demonstration data.
