Frequently asked questions

Zoometrics is a software suite to jointly manage coexistence between people, animals and plants in the municipality, with geolocated data and a One Health approach. Its tools are: Meow Metrics®, a platform to manage cat colonies with the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) method, in accordance with Ley 7/2023 de bienestar animal (Spain’s Animal Welfare Act); Ark Metrics, a citizen participation and full traceability tool from the street to adoption (trapping, fostering, adoptions, donations, volunteering) that shares data and identity with Meow Metrics; Wild Metrics, a map of encounters with urban wildlife with automatic or assisted impact assessment, to prioritize areas and actions, which starts with wild boar; Silva Metrics, an inventory of parks and gardens for towns and cities, with everything inside them, living and non-living: plants, furniture, play areas and irrigation; and Census Metrics, a municipal census of companion animals, with registration and identification.

The five tools are part of the Zoometrics suite, a software suite to jointly manage coexistence between people, animals and plants in the municipality, with geolocated data and a One Health approach. Each one covers a different area. Meow Metrics® is a platform to manage cat colonies with the TNR method, in accordance with Spain’s Law 7/2023. Ark Metrics is a citizen participation and full traceability tool from the street to adoption (trapping, fostering, adoptions, donations, volunteering) that shares data and identity with Meow Metrics. Wild Metrics is a map of encounters with urban wildlife with automatic or assisted impact assessment, to prioritize areas and actions; it starts with wild boar. Silva Metrics is an inventory of parks and gardens for towns and cities, with everything inside them, living and non-living: plants, furniture, play areas and irrigation. Census Metrics is a municipal census of companion animals, with registration and identification.

One Health is the approach Zoometrics takes to municipal management: jointly managing coexistence between people, animals and plants in the municipality, with geolocated data. Each tool in the suite covers one part of that coexistence: cat colonies, urban wildlife, parks and gardens, companion animals and citizen participation.
