      Moggie is a pet-tech data company on a mission to make cats live better and longer. We’ve created the first cat-only health wearable that gives pet owners the ability to improve their cat’s well-being while building a more emotional connection with their cat. By translating physical cat data into simple AI based insights for cat parents, Moggie can help vets more quickly identify up to 80% of illnesses, such as diabetes, arthritis, liver disease, and much more.
