Welcome to the ZüriCats Project!

Calling all cat lovers! Our citizen science project invites you to help us explore the fascinating world of feline gut health. By collecting and sharing samples of your cat’s poop, you’ll contribute to important research on the microbiota—the tiny organisms that play a big role in digestion, health, and well-being of your loved pet.

Your participation helps us uncover insights into feline health, nutrition, and even how our pets interact with their environment. It’s simple and a great way to be part of real scientific discoveries!

With your help, we will sequence DNA from your cat’s poop to understand health: What do they eat, what other animals do they meet, and how healthy are they?
