Hannah Shaw (internet celebrity)


Hannah Shaw is an animal advocate and an internet celebrity, known for being an educator on kittens.

Career

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. Once the kittens featured in her videos are old enough, they are adopted out. She runs her work through her nonprofit - the Orphan Kitten Club.
Shaw began her career as the Kitten Lady after leaving a consulting job to create training materials for animal shelters. 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.

Personal life

Shaw lives in San Diego with her partner Andrew, who is a professional photographer. She has a cat, named Coco, who was found by Shaw as a small kitten, too young to be fostered at an animal shelter. Her other two cats are Eloise and Haroun.
Shaw is the daughter of Tommy Shaw, the frontman and guitarist for the rock band Styx.
