About

Nicole is a lover of all animals, especially of the feline variety. She’s mom to four, three fur babies and a human baby.

Their beautiful Burmese cat Baby (who is now 17 years old) was their first child, though he is now called Baby Cat since their human baby joined the party in 2022. The dogs Rosa and Mac also love cats, but the whole family agrees that King Baby Cat is enough cat for this household. Nicole is the Director of Content Management at Catster and Pangolia. With a Bachelor’s degree in Education and years of online experience, she shares her pet knowledge and the knowledge of other professionals with the world, aiming to improve pets and pet parents’ lives.
