Who are we?
At KittySpout, we are transforming cats and their parents' lives by developing products designed with the help of expert veterinarians to create products that make taking care of cats easier while also helping improve the health and happiness of cats around the world. We've scaled quickly to become an 8-figure brand in just 3 years through viral digital marketing. KittySpout has helped over 220,000+ cat owners in just 3 years since launching with a small (but mighty) core team of under 10 people and we are looking to continue our growth by finding a great web developer to help play a pivotal role in helping us scale!
