Counter Defender Join the launch list
Made in Canada · Coming to Kickstarter Soon

Keep cats off your counter. Even when you're not home.

Keep your cat safe and your counters clean. Cats don't know which foods will hurt them. You don't always know where their paws have been.

How it works

See. Decide. Deter.

01
It watches
A wide-angle camera covers your counter. Everything stays on the device. No cloud. No Wi-Fi required.
02
It decides
Trained to recognize cats, and only cats. The on-device AI ignores everything else in the room, by design.
03
It deters
A short, low-pressure spritz of water. Surprising, not harmful. Your cat learns to stay off the counter, even when you're out.

Meet the Counter Defender

Built for the counter it lives on.

Quiet, simple, and at home in a kitchen. Designed in Vancouver, BC, by a team who built it for their own curious kitten.

  • Pay once. No subscriptions, no cartridges, no chemicals.
  • Plug it in, aim it at the counter, done. That's the install.
  • On-device AI. No cloud or Wi-Fi needed.
  • Refillable from the tap. One-button off for when you're cooking.

Questions

The honest answers.

Yes. The spray is plain tap water at low pressure. Closer to a plant mister than a power washer. It surprises, it doesn't harm. No chemicals, no compressed gas, no startling sounds. Your cat learns the counter is unpredictable and stops going up. That's how cats learn from any environment.

2026. Launch-list subscribers get a heads-up at least a week before launch so you have time to plan.

Manufacturing the right quantity. We'd rather make exactly the number people want than guess and end up with a warehouse of unsold units or a stockout. Kickstarter lets us run a transparent pre-order with real production tied to real demand. It also helps us prove the demand to suppliers, who give better terms when they see a real run committed. These savings are passed on to you with the discounted early bird pricing.

It detects cats specifically. Dogs, kids, and adults reaching for the cereal won't trigger it. Multiple cats are fine too.

A small team in Vancouver, British Columbia. The founders kitten Tango (she's in the main video) has inspired this product.
