Update for 11/13/18 I lost interest in BFA and havent been playing the last month or two. If I get back into it for 8.1 I'll resume work on the addon. I apologize if I got your hopes up.
For now the pet map is intentionally hidden until I can get it in a working state. The functionality was broken with the 8.0 patch and I'm going to try to find some other way to get it working. I didn't write the original functionality so It'll take some time.
The Hunters Menagerie is an addon that assists in the tracking, taming and collecting of hunter pets. It provides ease of access to information that can help you along your journey to catch the coolest and most sought after pets, without needing to have a guide/resource like Wowhead or Petopia open at all times.
Features Included
- An added Hunter Pets tab to your collections tab
- The ability to search through in game hunter pets to see where they spawn (map included) and view their 3d model in game, as well as the ability to filter by desired traits such as whether or not they have an ability such as slowfall.
- A list of your stabled pets with 3d previews available for reference.

I actually didn't know this existed, and I doubt my guildmate who approached me to get me to invest time in an addon adventure was either, regardless, if you still come here to hope for a continuation of the project, well I can only say that there is a project that I am working on that has been doing very similar things, albeit, in my opinion better, and more extensive. Its' still in development but, i believe it will be doing all of what this addon does and more, with more customization when its done, it's quite far along in the alpha stage, and there are "stable" builds that are being maintained, check out iStableMaster if you so desire: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/istablemaster
Fair bit of warning though, I as the main author have some real life duties such as a Master's Thesis to finish, so i won't be developing much until around autumn. But i promise that unless i fall down some stairs and die, there will be an addon that is up to date by prepatch. And hopefully it will be more or less done by the launch of Dragonflight.
The download file is named 'Hunter Pets' which is another addon. After I installed it, the UI doesn't look like the images above and there is no tab in Collections.
Thank you so much for the update! Now I have a reason to log in to the game again.
Even tho this doesn't show an update since 2018, I periodically get a notice on Twitch that it has an update (just got another one.). Anyone else getting these and have any idea why?
In reply to Lilyoptra:
Possibly having to do with the transition to Overwolf, but I'm not sure
In reply to Toddcraft:
Maybe, its been going on for awhile now but who knows how long the Overwatch thing's been in the works behind the scenes. Thanks!
Here's hoping you find the time and motivation to keep this updated for us who have been loyal to this addon since it was released back in WoD.

Anyone know of an addon that will show in the tooltip if a mob is tameable? Even better would be if you had it already...
Any word from Skitzel? Or maybe someone else can talk to him about taking over? Seems like a good idea, hoping to see the complete project some day.
I got this mod and so far, only a couple complaints. 1: is there a way to have it mark if you have tamed a particular pet? 2. It isn't scanning every pet (and I have summoned them all)
I'll try to list them all (brace yourself, I have a few of hunters.....and all but one collects/is meant to collect). This is just what I've noticed so far, have yet to tame every pet in game (considering the amount of basilisks, that isn't a goal XD)
a (probably WoD) tan wolf
bfa white/black spotted hyena (I think bfa)
fenrir
WoD fel wolf
lightning paw
nightborne starter mana saber
ghostly blue two-headed vulture (BC, probably Torgos)
orange owl (also, probably BC)

Just started using this addon, and I like it so far, what it does and what you hope to get working. I am curious about one thing i see at the stable though, Right now i don't have a lot of pets on my newest hunter, but it shows 5 pets (4 fully scanned). What triggers the scanning, I have cycled through all of them so i'm not sure what it means. Hope you get the map working soon. :)
Out of commission
In reply to yzyljhot:
my hunter loves this addon but i have 2 things that are kind of annoying.
1. show only pets tamable in current zone , doesnt update when changing zones , i have to click it off and back on to update.
2. it doesnt have any pets for the new bfa zones , so when u arrive in kul tiras it is basicly useless atm

Also the map function doesn't seem to be working and there is this sort of wierd offst to being able to click the close window button a bit down and right of the x.
Cheers and keep up the good work.
