Care. Home. Family.
Every year, millions of companion animals in Europe enter shelters that meet no functioning standard of care. We believe this can be different.
Caretory is building the world's first standardised network of animal shelters. We bring world-class franchise discipline, EU-sovereign artificial intelligence for welfare monitoring, and permaculture-integrated facilities into a single, replicable model designed to set a new standard for how companion animals are cared for, rehomed, and remembered.
We start in Andorra, a country actively reforming its animal welfare legislation and positioned as one of Europe's fastest-growing destinations for sustainable mountain tourism. From there, we scale across France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Ireland.
Our shelters are not just shelters. Each location is a community hub where children celebrate birthdays alongside gentle animals under professional guidance, where citizens walk shelter dogs through mountain trails under the eye of trained handlers, and where a welfare-first cat cafe lets people sit quietly in a space the cats call home. Every interaction follows one principle: the animal always has the right to say no.
Every facility integrates a productive permaculture garden that supplies fresh food supplements for the animals and ingredients for the on-site cafe, meaningfully reducing each shelter's carbon footprint compared to traditional configurations. Solar energy, heat recovery, and certified green construction complete the picture.
What we stand for
Welfare above the minimum. Our standard exceeds the regulatory floor, verified by independent assessment and published methodology.
No-kill, no exceptions. Euthanasia only for documented irreversible suffering, confirmed by two veterinarians. Never for overcrowding.
Animal-led interaction. Retreat zones are inviolable. A Welfare Officer is present on every public shift. AI monitors stress in real time.
Transparent technology. EU-sovereign AI only. No data leaves the European boundary. Annual independent bias audits.
Community, not commerce. Local shelters operate as non-profits and reinvest every surplus into animal welfare.
Land that gives back. Permaculture gardens, solar rooftops, composting loops. Every site is designed to leave the land better than we found it.
How it works
Caretory operates through a three-tier structure that separates mission from capital. A holding company in Andorra owns the brand, the technology platform, and the welfare standard. A dedicated real estate fund owns the land and buildings. Local non-profit organisations in each country operate the shelters on the ground, collect donations, and ensure that every euro of surplus goes back to the animals. This structure allows private investment to fund the infrastructure while preserving the social mission at every point of care.
"No companion animal in the developed world should live in a shelter that does not meet a certified standard of care."
