Growing up in a house full of rescue cats, I never imagined my childhood passion would evolve into a mission to revolutionize cat care education. I'm Zara Winters, founder of CatEps, certified feline behaviorist, and devoted cat mom to Luna and Oliver.
My path to creating CatEps wasn't a straight line – it was more like a cat's playful chase after a laser pointer! After earning my degree in Veterinary Technology from Cornell University, I spent five transformative years working alongside renowned veterinarians and animal behaviorists. During this time, I noticed a recurring theme: while we had incredible scientific knowledge about cat care, many cat parents struggled to apply this information in their daily lives.
This realization sparked the idea for CatEps. I wanted to create a space where scientific expertise meets practical, real-world application – where complex behavioral concepts transform into actionable advice that any cat parent can understand and implement.
CatEps isn't just another pet website – it's a culmination of:

Oliver - My gentle giant Maine Coon who thinks he's my personal assistant. He specializes in keyboard walks during video consultations and provides excellent moral support during late-night writing sessions. His superpower is knowing exactly when I need a purr break.
At CatEps, we believe in:
