Andrew
Andrew founded Mr. Cat Dad after visiting store after store looking for something he could proudly wear to show off his love for cats. There was plenty for his partner (Ms. Cat Mom) to choose from, but no great cat dad gear.
“No more,” he said, and set out to design comfy, well-fitting apparel with cat dads at its core.
Fun fact: Andrew grew up allergic to cats, but his first cat, Winnie, helped him overcome it.
Winnie
Winnie was fostered by Mr. Cat Dad and Ms. Cat Mom in the fall of 2020 after PAWS Chicago shared her availability.
Given Andrew’s history of allergies, he wanted to bring a cat into his life by fostering before adopting. Winnie quickly adapted to foster life and won over her proud parents. Andrew’s sniffles became a thing of the past, and Winnie was adopted just four months later, in time for the holidays.
Winnie enjoys soaking up the sun on her window perch and snuggling with her parents. Sometimes they get on her nerves, but she puts up with it.
