🐾 About Us
Hi there, fellow cat lover! 😺 I’m David, the proud cat dad behind The Cat Raiser — a cozy online home for anyone who believes life is better with a purring friend by their side. Whether you’re welcoming your first kitten, caring for a senior cat, or simply obsessed with adorable whiskers and fluffy tails, you’ve found your people right here. 🐈⬛about us
My journey with cats began more than ten years ago, and honestly, I never imagined how much these little creatures would change my world. From the sleepless nights bottle-feeding tiny kittens to comforting shy rescues, every experience has deepened my understanding of what it truly means to care for and raise cats with love and respect.about us
It all started with a small gray tabby named Luna — a surprise guest who showed up on my doorstep during a rainy evening. I hadn’t planned on adopting a cat, but Luna’s curious eyes and soft meow made the choice for me. I brought her inside, cleaned her up, and within days, she had stolen my heart (and most of the couch space). Luna became the inspiration behind this blog — the first cat who taught me how rewarding and challenging feline parenthood could be. ❤️about us
Over the years, my home slowly turned into a cat paradise — scratching posts in every room, cozy window spots for bird-watching, and toy mice scattered like confetti. Along the way, I also began fostering kittens, volunteering with local animal shelters, and supporting TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs to help stray and feral cats live healthier lives. Every cat I’ve met — whether a playful kitten or a cautious rescue — has taught me something new about patience, empathy, and joy.
Through The Cat Raiser, I want to share everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn!) about living with cats. This blog is more than just a place for advice — it’s a community built by and for cat lovers. You’ll find:
🐾 Cat Care Tips: From litter box hacks and grooming advice to nutrition and health essentials, I cover it all.
🐾 Behavior Guides: Understanding your cat’s moods, habits, and communication — because that tail flick or midnight zoomie always means something!
🐾 Kitten Raising Help: Step-by-step guides for new cat parents learning the ropes.
🐾 Product Reviews: Honest recommendations for toys, beds, treats, and gear that actually work.
🐾 Personal Stories: Real-life moments — the funny, the frustrating, and the heartwarming — that make life with cats so special.
What makes this space unique is honesty. I’ve made plenty of mistakes as a cat owner, and I’m not afraid to share them. I believe the best way to help others is by being real — about the joys, the challenges, and everything in between. Because raising cats isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. 🐾about us
My mission is to help you build a deeper bond with your feline companions while making sure they live long, healthy, and happy lives. Whether you’re struggling with a picky eater, a scratching enthusiast, or just wondering how to keep your indoor cat entertained, I’ve got you covered.about us
But most importantly, I want this to be a place where cat lovers connect — where we share stories, celebrate our pets, and learn from each other. After all, every cat has its own personality, and every cat parent has their own story to tell.about us
So, welcome to my world — a world full of whiskers, purrs, mischief, and unconditional love. 🐾
Thank you for being part of this community. Don’t hesitate to reach out through the contact page or leave a comment — I’d love to hear about your cats and your own experiences as a cat parent.
With love, purrs, and head boops,
