Cats get job, wear collar cameras to find lost pets in Kazakhstan

Under a social project called "Kitty, Kitty, Be Found!", cats were recruited to help locate missing pets in Kazakhstan. Equipped with collar cameras, they roam basements, attics and bushes while AI scans footage against missing-pet databases through a Telegram bot. Launched in 2025, the initiative has reunited 407 lost pets using community photo submissions, geolocation, smartboards and maps.
