Abstract

Nowadays, Thais prefer to raise cats is increasing due to changes in their lifestyles influenced by social and economic circumstances. In addition, cats are animals that love cleanliness and are suitable pets for limited living spaces. In recent years, pet services have been developed and offered more through online platforms. Therefore, this research presents an online dating system for cat breeding using the Gale-Shapley algorithm, implemented in an Android application. The experimental results show that the matching algorithm for cat breeding is efficient with a worst-case time complexity of O(n2). The evaluation of the application's quality, as assessed by experts, indicates a high level of satisfaction with an average rating of 4.33. The experimental results demonstrate that this proposed application can be effectively utilized as an online matchmaking tool for cat breeding.
