Images for your layout
Real cat photographs at the size you need. Pick a cat or let the URL surprise you.
/400/300
/400/300/barbie-2026-07Try different sizes, formats, blur and grayscale. The crop keeps the cat in frame.
No API key or sign-up. Use the image URL wherever your project needs a placeholder.
JSON to practise on
Proper pagination, detail routes, real relationships. The kind of API you'd actually have to work with, rather than a toy.
GET /api/cats
GET /api/cats/barbie-2026-07Fetch a list of cats or look one up by its full slug. Each record includes her story, photo and sponsorship link.
CORS-enabled and free to call from your browser. No API key or sign-up.
A cat in your terminal
Browse real rescue cats one at a time and read their stories, right in your terminal.
$ npx moggykit browseUse the left/right arrows to select a cat, s to open her sponsorship page and q to quit.
Requires Node 20+ and an interactive terminal with both input and output. For a random cat or piped output, use npx moggykit; for JSON, use npx moggykit --json.
THE PLAY CORNER
Try a placeholder. Find a favourite.
Every picture here is a real cat, living in a rescue in Portugal. Pick a size, pick a cat, copy the URL. That's it.
The same cats power the JSON API and terminal browser, too.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
Meet the lounge residents.
Use a cat's full slug, including the date, in the URL and you'll get her every time. Every one of them can be sponsored.
Barbie
lookingBarbie is a local cat that started coming to the bar, we fed her, had her sterilised and we feed her regularly. She now comes with some other friends but she is the original bar cat, hence the name.

Crookshanks
lookingCrookshanks was found on the street abandoned at about 4 weeks old. A local volunteer is currently fostering and he needs a lot of food and medication to get him healthy. He's doing well so far.

Dodger
lookingDodger arrived with Oliver. We’re still getting to know him, but he was comfortable enough to let a local resident stroke him while he ate. We’re fairly sure he’s a boy.

Dottie
lookingDottie comes for food near the bar, though she is still wary of being touched. She recently had three kittens, and we are keeping a close eye on her.

A LITTLE LOVE GOES A LONG WAY
The tools are free. The vet isn't.
Moggykit is here to point a bit of attention at some cats in Beira Baixa. There's no paid tier and there never will be. If one of them catches your eye while you're working, you can sponsor her. That's the only ask.
