Doron Wolffberg
Head of Growth
I started the site in 2016 after my cat Pedro (the cool cat on the site’s logo) almost died from a case of urinary blockage. Turned out that food he’d been eating was a big reason he got sick. I’ve made it our mission to help educate cat parents so they can make better-informed decisions about their cat’s health and wellbeing.
I’m also an SEO geek with 13 years of experience in digital publishing. My work has been featured in RankXL, Empire Flippers, and more.
