MEET THE FOUNDER

I’m Jazz, and cats have shaped my life.

I built Cats With Jazz LLC around a simple belief: every cat deserves care that is observant, individualized, and grounded in how they experience the world. 

As a feline behavior and care specialist with over 19 years of hands-on experience and various certifications, I serve hundreds of families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

The goal is never to make a cat tolerate care. It’s to help them feel safe enough to participate in it.

WHY CATS?

I rescued my first cat, Stripie, at age five.

She was my greatest teacher when it came to love, comfort, safety, patience, responsibility, and communication.

Today, I strive to provide all of these qualities to every cat in my care.
