Simulate your shelter. Optimize your budget.

Kitten season overwhelms shelters every spring. ShelterPulse simulates your capacity under uncertainty and finds the best way to spend your intervention budget — before a single cat is at risk.

🎲

Discrete-Event Simulation

SimPy-powered model of the full cat lifecycle — intake surges, isolation queues, medical clearance, foster, and adoption.

📈

Bayesian Optimization

Finds the best budget allocation across foster support, clinic hours, isolation expansion, and adoption events.

🛠️

Custom Scenarios

Configure your own shelter — geography, climate, size, and budget — and simulate against your specific constraints.
