Career

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][4]

Shaw frequently posts on YouTube and Instagram caring for neonatal kittens and featuring instructional videos on kitten fostering. She serves as a foster for kittens who would, often, otherwise be euthanized by the animal shelters due to lack of resources and space to dedicate to neonatals.[5] Once the kittens featured in her videos are old enough, they are adopted out, with Shaw saying "Goodbye is the goal".[6] She runs her work through her nonprofit, the Orphan Kitten Club.[7]

Personal life

Shaw lives in San Diego with her partner Andrew, who is a professional photographer. She and Andrew have four cats.[5]

Shaw is the daughter of Tommy Shaw, the frontman and guitarist for the rock band Styx.[6]
