Cat Breed ID uses advanced AI powered by Google's Gemini model to analyze photos. For purebred cats, accuracy is typically very high. For mixed breeds and domestic cats, the app provides honest results — if your cat is a Domestic Shorthair, it'll tell you that rather than forcing a breed label. Results improve with clear, well-lit photos showing the cat's full body or face.
The app is honest: most cats are Domestic Shorthair or Domestic Longhair, and that's a perfect answer. We don't force breed labels where none exist. Your ordinary cat still gets a full scan result, detailed traits, and their own personal story. Every cat is worth knowing better.
Yes! The app analyzes your cat's physical characteristics and provides honest results. If your cat shows traits from specific breeds, you'll see those. If your cat is a domestic mix — which most cats are — the app celebrates that instead of making up breed percentages.
After every scan, the app writes a short personal story about your cat — their personality, what they probably live for, what makes them them. It's written with warmth and a little dry wit, because cats deserve it. Every cat gets a story, whether they're a purebred Persian or a regular tabby from the shelter.
The app recognizes a wide range of cat breeds including Persian, Maine Coon, Siamese, Bengal, British Shorthair, Ragdoll, Sphynx, Scottish Fold, and many more. It also handles Domestic Shorthair, Domestic Longhair, and Domestic Medium Hair for mixed and non-pedigreed cats — which is most cats. The AI can identify breeds beyond the library as well, drawing on extensive training data.
No. Cat Breed ID is a one-time purchase of $4.99. Everything is included — all features, unlimited scans, every story. No subscription, no weekly fees, no hidden charges. You buy it once and it's yours.
Your photos are sent securely to Google's Gemini API solely for breed analysis and are not permanently stored on any server. We do not share, sell, or use your photos for any other purpose. Your scan history is stored only on your device. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Breed identification requires an internet connection since photos are analyzed using cloud-based AI. However, you can browse your scan collection, re-read stories, and view saved breed details offline. We recommend using the app with Wi-Fi or cellular data for the best experience.
While our AI is highly accurate, no identification system is perfect. For best results, use a clear photo with good lighting showing the cat's face or full body. Try multiple angles if the first result seems off. Remember that many cats are mixed breeds with subtle characteristics that can be challenging to pinpoint precisely.
Cat Breed ID is designed to be family-friendly. The app contains no inappropriate content and is a great educational tool for kids who love cats. However, per our Terms of Service and in compliance with COPPA, the app is intended for users aged 13 and older. Children under 13 should use the app with parental supervision.
