Self hosted photos with auto pet naming?

I know self hosted photos is a common question, but is there actually
one that can automatically assign names to an animal/pet? I have
thousands of pictures of my cat and this feature is the only thing
keeping me on Google photos at the moment. I've tried Synology Photos
and Photoprism but both require manual naming/tagging as far as I can
see. For reference, I have a Synology DS220+

You should try Immich [here](https://github.com/immich-app/immich)
You can also install via docker on you Synology.
Give a nice work on tag people, I don’t know about tag dog names.

Sorry, my bad. About tagging, immich does much better even then
PhotoView.

I was obviously joking

Yes OP should try immich atleast, but i cant imagine much work has
been put into AI recognition of cats... and if someone is doing it its
probably not a free selfhosted project.

I don’t have any cats or dogs in my Library, but I got chicken and
squirrels (identified and cat)

Immich tags my puppy correctly, I need to merge them sometimes into
each other as it doesn't always identify it as the same dog but still
nearly as good as Google photos.

I imagine a cat would be nearly as good.

AI doesnt make mistakes. The reality is you have two similar looking
dogs and you never noticed.

My Immich hasn’t face-tagged any animal photos. Do you need to enable
it somehow?

apologies for the late reply, but how do you get it to auto add animal
names?
