We’re living in an incredible age of technology. Self driving cars, smart AI computers, crazy scary robots, and… pet cameras. Ok maybe the last one isnt quite as cool. But a few bright minds have created fun and unique ways for us humans to interact with our beloved kitties and puppies.
iPet Companion provides shelters with live streaming video which can be controlled by the viewers in addition to interactive toys. Petcube is a growing startup that revolutionized pet cameras for consumers (check out our hands-on review). More recently, they began partnering with shelters to integrate cameras which can be viewed by anyone in the world.
While a few of the live streams in this list are from simple webcams, others are from a new form of pet cameras, some of which were featured on CES and IndieGoGo.
Let’s get right to it. The following list of shelters, provided by iPet Companion, have live streaming video and interactive toys that can be controlled with your arrow keys. Sort by state to find one near you.

I think this is a great way for people to be able to interact shelter animals. I love technology. I think this would be cool to put in your own house so you could talk to your pet when you are away.
