Somebody saw it.
Now everybody can help.
On stray.my, a sighting becomes a friendly, useful alert for the people around it. Drop a pin, add a photo, and the street becomes a rescue team.
Four small steps, one very good day
No forms to fill in triplicate — every screen is built for one hand, on a phone, while you keep an eye on the animal.
Spot
A wobbly pup by the roundabout. A cat that never leaves the bins. You noticed — that is the whole first step.
Pin
Open stray.my, tap Report, drop a pin. Add a photo if it is safe to. Twenty seconds, no account needed.
Nudge
Everyone watching that patch of the map sees it: neighbours, feeders, fosters, the local rescue.
Follow through
People say “I’m on it”, post updates, and mark the sighting safe. Nothing quietly falls through.
Every sighting says how worried to be
So a volunteer with a carrier in the boot knows which pin to drive to first, and a neighbour with a tin of food knows which one is theirs.
Looks okay, but has been around a while
Needs food, water or a warm corner
Limping, wounded or clearly unwell
Near traffic, trapped, or a tiny baby alone
Kind to animals. Kind to you, too.
Free, forever, for everyone
No account, no paywall, no ads. Kindness should not need a login screen.
As anonymous as you like
Pick a nickname or stay a “kind neighbour”. We never ask for your name, email or phone.
Works on a bad signal
Install it like an app. Draft a report underground and it sends itself the moment you get bars back.
Built for real rescues
Sightings carry the details volunteers actually need: species, condition, exact spot, and a live thread.
Found an animal? Start here.
I found a stray dog. What should I do first?
Stay a few metres back and watch for a minute before doing anything. A dog with a collar trotting confidently is usually somebody’s pet on a small adventure; a crouching, flinching one is frightened. If it is near traffic, trapped, bleeding or clearly unwell, call your local animal rescue or municipal service first, then post the sighting so people nearby can help. Never chase it — a chased animal runs into roads.
I found kittens on their own. Should I take them?
Usually not straight away. Mother cats move kittens one at a time and leave them alone for long stretches while hunting, so a lone litter is often not abandoned. Watch from a distance for a few hours. If the mother does not return, the kittens are in danger, or they are cold and crying, then step in — and post the sighting so a foster or rescue can take over.
How do I report a stray animal on stray.my?
Open the report page, pick the animal and how urgent it looks, drop a pin on the map, and add a photo if it is safe to take one. It takes about twenty seconds. You can fill the whole form in before signing in — the account is only asked for at the last step, so sightings stay trustworthy.
Do I need an account to use stray.my?
Not to look. Browsing the map and the alerts feed never needs an account. You only sign in when you file a sighting or help with one, so that every report is attributable to someone.
Is stray.my free?
Yes, completely. No account to browse, no paywall and no ads. It is a community tool.
What should I feed a stray animal?
Water first, food second. Plain water in a shallow container is safe for almost every animal. Avoid milk for cats and kittens, and never give a dog chocolate, onions, grapes or cooked bones. Shade or shelter from rain helps as much as food does.
Is stray.my an emergency service?
No. It is a community noticeboard, not a rescue service. For an animal in immediate danger, call your local animal rescue, shelter or municipal service first — then post here so others nearby can help and follow up.
What happens after I report a sighting?
It appears straight away on the map and in the alerts feed for people nearby. Anyone can say they are on the way, confirm they have seen the animal too, or post an update. When the animal is picked up or turns out to be fine, the sighting gets marked safe, so nothing quietly falls through.
