Hannah Shaw (known as the Kitten Lady) is an animal advocate and an internet celebrity, known for being an educator on kittens.[1][2]

Career

Shaw frequently posts on YouTube and Instagram caring for neonatal kittens and featuring instructional videos on kitten fostering.[1][2] She serves as a foster for kittens who would, often, otherwise be euthanased by the animal shelters due to lack of resources and space to dedicate to neonatals.[3] Once the kittens featured in her videos are old enough, they are adopted out.[4] She runs her work through her nonprofit – the Orphan Kitten Club.[5]

Shaw began her career as the Kitten Lady after leaving a consulting job to create training materials for animal shelters.[1] In addition to her instructional videos on social media, she conducts in-person workshops and public speaking events to promote her work as the Kitten Lady.[3][6][7]

Personal life

Shaw lives in San Diego with her partner Andrew, who is a professional photographer.[1] She has a cat, named Coco, who was found by Shaw as a small kitten, too young to be fostered at an animal shelter.[3] Her other two cats are Eloise and Haroun.

Shaw is the daughter of Tommy Shaw, the frontman and guitarist for the rock band Styx.[4]
