Stray Buddies: Stray Animal Rescue and Shelter Connect

Abstract: The increase in number of stray animals and the lack of an organized rescue system create significant challenges in urban areas. This paper presents Stray Buddies, a web-based platform designed to support stray animal rescue, symptom-based health prediction, veterinary assistance, and secure user management. The system allows users to report stray animals through a structured questionnaire and location details, enabling early identification of possible health conditions. Built using React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, Supabase, and PostgreSQL, the platform provides secure authentication and real-time data management. By combining cloud technologies with intelligent symptom analysis, Stray Buddies aims to improve rescue coordination and promote animal welfare.
