Feeders (猫屋, "Cat House"/"Kitty House") are the units that the cats eat in. As of February 2024, over 21,000 feeders had been distributed in China. They are connected to the Hello Street Cat apps and people are able to pay to feed the cats kibble or freeze-dried chicken snacks. Each Feeder has at least one Caretaker who replenishes the food supply in the feeders, replaces blankets, cleans the cat house floor, decorates it, etc.

Each cat house has its own variety of cats - unless the feeder is near another feeder, such as the Happy Canteen and Auspicious Restaurant where they can sometimes have the same cats visiting. The caretaker may also decorate the cat house, adding stickers, posters, cat beds, and toys.

Each feeder has their own sequence of numbers called an ID. These are mainly how the English community can view the streams.

As of around July 17, 2024, a new feeder model is being tested for 3 months in Big Man's Cat Houses. The goal is to introduce the model into more cat shelters so that cats may have a better chance of being adopted.

The model is a lot smaller and only has one camera attached. There is no back camera, and the top camera can be placed in any position by the shelter.
