Kate stumbled into the world of feline rescue the way most people stumble into having 12 foster kittens in their bathroom—by accident, and then immediately wondering how she ever lived without it. With a background as a Certified Veterinary Technician and a heart the size of a Maine Coon, Kate now leads The Feline Fix’s foster and adoption program like a seasoned kitten-wrangler with a spreadsheet habit and a snack pouch full of Churu.
She loves that no two days are ever the same—whether she’s bottle-feeding a singleton at 3 a.m., coordinating PACFA-compliant home inspections, or turning a scrappy little stray into someone’s soul-cat. Watching shy kittens blossom under loving foster care is her kind of magic (plus, let’s be honest, she’s a sucker for a good transformation story).
Kate currently shares her home with what can only be described as a personal zoo—including dogs, ferrets, a turtle, a lizard, and a rotating cast of foster kittens (legally speaking, let’s not count too closely). In her “free time” (which may or may not exist), she enjoys spending time with her two amazing daughters, her husband of 18 years, and plotting her next Costco haul like a general preparing for spooky war.
Fun fact: Kate launched her own grooming business, KateKlips, at just 22 years old. Entrepreneurial spirit? Check. Covered in fur? Always.
If she could adopt any animal? A dinosaur. Giant, dramatic, misunderstood, and potentially housebroken—what’s not to love?
What might surprise her coworkers? She’s a full-blown gym rat who doesn’t touch coffee (ew). She’s also obsessed with Halloween, Vikings, and witches—October is basically her personal holiday season. And don’t even get her started on football: it’s 49ers and her Broncos baby all the way.
Kate may be fueled by the gym and catnip, but everything she does is rooted in compassion, community, and a serious love for saving lives—one tiny paw at a time.
