About KOTrol
KOTrol is a health journal and daily care organizer for cats. Owners log symptoms, medications and doses, weight, appetite, water intake, litter box habits, behavior, diet, appointments with the vet, test results and other medical documents together. The aim is to replace scattered notes with an organized history that answers the questions a vet asks: when it started, how often it happens, what changed and what was given.
Its key feature is a vet report that gathers symptoms, dates, frequency, appetite, water, litter box notes, weight, medications, visits and documents into a single summary, and it is included in the Basic plan. The app supports healthy and senior cats and cats with chronic conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, asthma, bladder problems, digestive issues, allergies and hyperthyroidism, each with its own structured observations.
Shared care lets family members or a petsitter add observations, and a Medication Lock reduces the chance of giving a dose twice. The Basic plan covers one cat with 90 days of history, daily check-ins, a toxin checker and a knowledge base, while Premium extends it with full health history. The app is free to download with in-app purchases and is available for iPhone and iPad.
