Our Story

Making Air Travel Affordable for Everyone

We believe that exploring the world shouldn't require a fortune โ€” in dollars or in points. FareCat was born from a simple frustration: airfare prices change constantly, award (point) seats open for hours and vanish, and nobody has time to refresh an airline's calendar 50 times a day. We built the tireless fare-and-award companion we always wished we had.

Our Mission

At FareCat, our mission is simple: help every traveler find the best deal, in dollars or in miles. Airlines change cash prices hundreds of times a day and release award (point) space in short, unpredictable windows. Most travelers miss the best deals because they don't have time to check constantly. We do that work for you โ€” quietly, reliably, every day โ€” so you can book with confidence whether you're paying with a card or redeeming a stack of points.

The Legend of Captain Whiskers

Every great company needs a great mascot, and ours happens to be an orange tabby cat with a pair of well-worn aviator goggles perched on his head.

The story goes like this: our founder once missed a jaw-dropping fare to Paris because they checked prices just one hour too late. As they stared at the screen in defeat, their orange tabby jumped onto the keyboard, as cats do, and knocked a coffee mug onto the desk. In that moment of caffeinated chaos, an idea formed: "What if something watched fares for me around the clock -- with cat-like reflexes?"

And so Captain Whiskers was born -- a fearless feline aviator who never sleeps, never blinks, and never lets a good deal get away. He represents everything we stand for: sharp instincts, tireless persistence, and just the right amount of playful mischief.
