(Added Manual Links to Mr. Fresh's Feeder (may be unnecessary, couldn't find them on the wiki, only in the discord and not everyone will join the discord. Maybe should put them in the Happy Canteen page?) Added links to the official sites of VLC on PC, Android, and iOS)
This is a wiki for the English-Speaking community from the [https://www.youtube.com/@streetcatstream DeMiaowa re-streams] that almost exclusively view the [[Happy Canteen]] feeder.
The names and relevance of some cats may differ from the Chinese community that watches natively on the Hello Street Cat app. The Street Cat Wiki is not affiliated with 'Hello Street Cat' and is not associated with [https://www.youtube.com/@streetcatstream DeMiaowa re-streams]; it is run by fans/enthusiasts of street cats.

'''Cat''' ''(Felis catus)'' is a domesticated member of the Felidae family in the Carnivora order, and it is the smallest member. Domestic cats, like all felids, have long tails that help with balance, supple low-slung bodies, finely shaped heads, and specialized teeth and claws that help them adapt well to an active hunting lifestyle. Cats, like their wild predecessors, are primarily carnivorous, incredibly agile and muscular, and move with precision. (Fox, 2024)
In the ''Hello Street Cat,'' these cats are being livestreamed while they are fed by the feeder through viewer's donations. The community admired the cats, as each cat has their own personalities, thus cats having their own popularity and name made by the community.
In the community, '''Cat''' is also nicknamed as '''''Car''''', as for the reason, it was because some people ''accidentally misspell cats'' due to fast-typing in their keyboard while chatting in the livestream. Therefore, the EN community made it into some inside-joke. ''(ex. Mr. Fresh car instead of Mr. Fresh cat)'' The wiki administrator, [[User:Skyrina|skyrina]], has also made this website accessible through https://streetcar.wiki as a reference to the '''Car''' nickname.

Welcome to StreetCatWiki!
StreetCatWiki aims to document cats and other visitors of the Hello Street Cat (哈啰街猫) streams.
This is a wiki for the English-Speaking community for cats spotted at the Hello Street CatFeeders across China.
Our goal is to document and write about the many cats and other creatures that visit these feeders.
The names and relevance of some cats may differ from the Chinese community that watches natively on the Hello Street Cat app. StreetCatWiki is not affiliated with 'Hello Street Cat'. It is run by fans/enthusiasts of street cats.
Before making a page, please look at our Guidelines. We also have a To-Do page if you wish to help out but don't know where.

哈啰街猫 or "Hello Street Cat" is an app developed by Guangxi Hachong Network Technology Co., Ltd. and launched in April 2023. This app strives to facilitate the feeding of stray cats, by the use of various "Intelligent Stray Cat Management Houses", which can record and stream video as well as dispense kibble, treats every time a user donates through the "Hello Street Cat" app. The main goals with this program is to Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR), feed strays, and encourage adoption.
Cats
Cat(Felis catus) is a domesticated member of the Felidae family in the Carnivora order, and it is the smallest member. Domestic cats, like all felids, have long tails that help with balance, supple low-slung bodies, finely shaped heads, and specialized teeth and claws that help them adapt well to an active hunting lifestyle. Cats, like their wild predecessors, are primarily carnivorous, incredibly agile and muscular, and move with precision. (Fox, 2024)
In the Hello Street Cat, these cats are being livestreamed while they are fed by the feeder through viewer's donations. The community admired the cats, as each cat has their own personalities, thus cats having their own popularity and name made by the community.
In the community, Cat is also nicknamed as Car, as for the reason, it was because some people accidentally misspell cats due to fast-typing in their keyboard while chatting in the livestream. Therefore, the EN community made it into some inside-joke. (ex. Mr. Fresh car instead of Mr. Fresh cat)
The cats in the Hello Street Cat application are believed to be living in Shanghai, China.
Feeders
Feeders are locations where various cats can eat. Every feeder has their own cats, decorations and events. Most cats visit only one feeder, although some feeder are in close proximity.
meow.camera is the recommended way to view feeders as of now. It allows you to watch the most popular feeders and random feeders that currently have cats in them.
Check the individual feeder pages for their meow.camera link and other ways to watch their streams.
TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) replaces euthanasia with sterilization, halting the uncontrolled reproduction of stray cats and reducing subsequent generations. This method effectively manages the stray cat population. When over 75% of adult cats in a community undergo sterilization, it significantly controls population growth. Near 100% sterilization rates lead to a yearly decline in stray cat numbers, achieving the goal of population control. As of July 13, 2024, 51,300 individuals have signed up as volunteers, many of whom are participating in stray cat TNR actions for the first time. As of June 30, 2024, Purrrr has recorded 36,343 instances of volunteers completing TNR. Let's keep up the good work!
