Breeding cycle alerts and notifications

Purpose

1. Automate real-time alerts and reminders for cat breeders about critical breeding cycle events (e.g., heat cycles, mating windows, pregnancy progress, birthing predictions, post-natal care) for each cat.

2. Automating early detection and documentation of breeding readiness, medical milestones, and post-birth checkups to streamline veterinary compliance and breeding efficiency.

3. Automatedly store, update, and retrieve breeding history data for regulatory, health, and business analysis.

Trigger Conditions

1. New breeding cycle or heat identified in breeder records or third-party health platforms.

2. Scheduled breeding, expected delivery dates, or health check due dates entered or updated.

3. Automatically triggered reminders based on veterinary input, RFID/QR scan events, or wearable sensor data.

4. Missed breeding milestones trigger escalation notifications automatedly.
