The Velvet Paw started in 2023 as a small passion project — a blog born out of late-night conversations about cats, coffee-fueled writing sessions, and the shared belief that every cat person deserves a go-to resource for stories, advice, and community.
What began as a handful of articles has grown into a destination for cat lovers everywhere. We cover everything from breed profiles and behavioral science to care tips and heartwarming rescue stories. Our mission is simple: celebrate cats and help people give them the best lives possible.
We're a small team, but our love for cats is anything but small. Between us, we share our homes with seven cats, countless foster kittens, and one very opinionated Maine Coon named Professor.
The cat people behind the cat content
We believe that understanding cats makes us better companions to them. The Velvet Paw exists to bridge the gap between feline science and everyday cat ownership — with warmth, accuracy, and a healthy dose of cat photos.
Whether you're a first-time cat owner or a lifelong feline devotee, we're here to help you give your cat the happiest, healthiest life possible. Because every cat deserves a velvet paw moment.
