Introduction to Roll Claw

Roll Claw is a specialized colony management system designed specifically for feral cat caretakers. Built with the unique challenges of colony management in mind, it provides reliable tracking of cats, streamlined health monitoring, and coordinated volunteer task management—all functioning seamlessly in offline environments where colony care typically occurs.

The Problem We Solve

Every colony caretaker knows the nagging worries:

  • "Did I see everyone today?"
  • "Did the morning team remember to check the shelters?"
  • "Is anyone sick or hurt?"
  • "When was the last time we saw that shy gray tabby?"

Current solutions fall into fragmented categories (pet management apps, general volunteer coordination tools) that fail to address the unique challenges of colony care. Roll Claw exists to replace that uncertainty with confidence.

What Makes Roll Claw Different

Roll Claw transforms colony management through:

  1. Complete Accountability: Automated tracking ensures no cat goes unnoticed and no task falls through the cracks
  2. Field-Ready Design: Offline functionality with synchronization enables recording in real-world conditions
  3. Coordinated Care: Clear task assignment and verification across multiple volunteers
  4. Historical Insight: Comprehensive event-based record keeping reveals patterns and trends
  5. Reduced Mental Burden: System-managed tracking replaces mental checklists and scattered notes
