The Caretakers are the ones that manage the [[Feeder|Feeders]], with at least one caretaker for every feeder. A caretaker acquires a feeder through a careful application process. They are responsible for the filling, cleaning, decorating, and in-app presence of their own feeders. As they are not documented, they are mostly unknown; however, regular viewers may recognize some such as Ms. Socks. They are seen either managing the Feeders or clearing [[Mount Kibble|Mt Kibble]], [[Mount Snack|Mt Snack]], or [[Mount Snibble|Mt Snibble]] (which they are much appreciated for). Some have also been seen putting cans of tuna and other treats in the feeders, even keeping stored snacks inside.

"Caretaker" refers to the humans who manage the [[Feeders]]. Hello Street Cat caretakers are volunteers, and take care of their own individual feeder. Sometimes, a feeder will have multiple caretakers. Mechanics also exist for some feeders, separate from the caretakers.


The fans of Hello Street Cat hold these guardians in high esteem and often thank them for their efforts.
A caretaker acquires a feeder through a careful application process. Once they are approved by the [[Hello Street Cat]] company, they are then able to operate a feeder.

== What They Do ==
Caretakers are responsible for the general upkeeping of a feeder. This includes managing food supply, cleaning and maintaining a page on the HSC app. Caretakers will sometimes decorate their feeders. They are also typically involved in [[TNR]] procedures at the feeder. Some caretakers supply their own food, such as tuna, in addition to the kibble and snacks dispensed from the feeder.
Caretakers tend to also provide updates on the cats and feeder via the HSC app. For example, letting the community know if a cat has been adopted or treated at the vet.
Mechanics for the feeders handle general maintenance. This includes managing the feeder's battery and fixing any blockages.
== Examples ==
Whilst caretakers are usually unknown to the English community, there are some specific examples.
=== Ms. Socks ===
Ms. Socks is the caretaker for the [[Happy Canteen]]. She has been seen cleaning and providing food at the feeder. Ms. Socks was the first widely recognised caretaker in the English community.
=== Mrs. Dress' Caretaker ===
Mrs. Dress' caretaker is a special case, as [[Mrs. Dress]] herself is a pampered stray. The caretaker has a close bond with Mrs. Dress, being the person to supply her dresses. This caretaker also provides a lot of different food and decorations to the feeder. She is also responsible for giving medicine to the cats, at the [[Ten Thousand Kitties House]].
=== Big Faced Brother's Caretakers ===
At [[Big Faced Brother|Big Faced Brother's]] feeder, "Mimi-Chan wants to be Happy", there is an entire community of volunteers who take care of the feeder. As the feeders in this area were decommissioned, the community solely maintain the feeder. This includes recharging the battery without a mechanic. The caretakers also provide all of their own food supply to the feeder.
== Our Love and Appreciation ==
The fans of Hello Street Cat hold these guardians in high esteem and often thank them for their efforts. Their efforts are valiant, and are very much appreciated by this community as much as the cats. We would not know what the cats would do without them. Their support and dedication is really heart-touching to all of us in the English Street Cat community.
