Hello, I’m Emily
Welcome to my Feline Buddy

Hi there! My name’s Emily Hartwell and I’m a certified veterinarian. I hold a PhD in veterinary oncology (abdominal cancer in dogs, to be more specific). I’ve been in love with animals ever since I can remember and I’ve always loved cats more than anything, but that doesn’t mean that I discriminate.

All animals are wonderful and I’m sure many pet parents will agree with what I’m about to say – that they can be far better friends than humans, at times.

Envisioning a World Where Every Cat is Cherished

My vision for ‘My Feline Buddy’ is to create a compassionate and knowledgeable community where cat lovers can find a supportive space to learn and share.

I dream of a world where every cat is understood, cherished, and cared for, with their unique needs and personalities recognized and celebrated.”

Empowering Cat Owners with Knowledge and Compassion

My mission is to provide cat owners with the most current, scientifically-backed information and heartfelt advice on feline care.

From health and nutrition to behavior and emotional wellbeing, I am dedicated to empowering cat owners with the tools and understanding they need to ensure a happy, healthy life for their feline companions.”
