Introducing El Gato

Ok...I'm going to confess something. this is the very first blog post I've ever posted...or blogged. But, I've been looking for a venue to discuss and support El Gato, and I've decided that this is it.

El Gato is a Cattery Management Program. A Cattery is a place that raises Cats. At the moment, El Gato concentrates on TICA (The International Cat Association) cats, but if members of other associations want to jump in, El Gato will work for them also, after a fashion, and if they are willing to work with me, I will generate a version of El Gato just for their association.

What does El Gato do?

It's primary and first purpose is to generate pedigrees. First, you have to enter the cats...but for several breeds, we have already entered many cats for you. El Gato automates the entry of cats, and makes it easy. There are several different pedigrees...they are professional looking, and you can customize them with your own cattery name and logos.

El Gato also has a contact management system, it tracks medical records and events on each cat, it allows you to enter litters, and from that, you can do Litter Registrations. You can generate all sort of specialized reports and lists, and you can track income and expenses. You can even print out a mileage report that the IRS will accept as a concurrent record that proves your miles.

I will be posting to this blog daily. I will address each of the functions of El Gato, and I'll also explain the features and how to use them efficiently.

My email is bengalsjim@gmail.com. I have several websites...my primary one is www.tejascats.com, and a secondary one is www.elgatosoftware.com.

I'll see you in subsequent posts.

Jim
