Where It All Began
Catpillow Studio wasn’t born in a boardroom—it started in a sunlit living room, with one rescued tabby named Mochi and a deep love for feline companions. Our founder, Lena Torres, had always been drawn to cats: their quirks, their resilience, and their silent strength. But it was after volunteering at a crowded animal shelter that the seed for Catpillow truly took root.
From Personal Need to Global Mission
It began with one simple idea: to create comfort, not just for cats, but for their humans too. When Lena couldn’t find aesthetically pleasing, ethically made cat products that aligned with her values, she decided to build them herself. With a background in textile design and a heart devoted to animal advocacy, Lena launched Catpillow Studio to bring warmth into homes—and hope into shelters.
Challenges That Shaped Us
Like many indie startups, we struggled at first—balancing manufacturing costs with our commitment to ethical sourcing, reaching an audience without corporate marketing budgets, and navigating the complexities of animal welfare advocacy. But we pressed on, fueled by every customer photo, every purr of approval, and every message from someone who said, “This helped my rescue cat feel safe.”
“I never imagined a pillow could bring my adopted cat such comfort. Thank you for making a difference.” — A Catpillow Customer
The Community That Built Us
Our community became our biggest strength. Pet lovers from around the world didn’t just buy our products—they shared their stories, offered suggestions, and helped fund our outreach programs. Today, a portion of every purchase goes to small shelters and TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) operations. We’ve helped over 300 cats find warm beds and permanent homes.

What’s Next for Catpillow?
We’re expanding our mission beyond pillows. In the coming year, we plan to launch a humane education platform for kids, introduce eco-friendly feeding accessories, and form partnerships with international rescue networks. Our vision is clear: a world where every cat is cared for with dignity and every pet parent is empowered with resources.
