Kritter Kommunity and Kritter Kommunications: Spaces for Pets, Places for People
Hi, I’m Lisa, and I’m passionate about two things: pets and creating spaces where they—and their people—can thrive.
It all started in 2009 with my city cats, Madison and Abigail, and my desire to give them a little taste of the outdoors.
When city restrictions kept me from building out, I built up, designing a safe, cozy outdoor catio, the very first Kritter Kondo.
This idea grew into Kritter Kommunity, a hub for everything pets—a place to find pet care tips, creative Barkitecture solutions, and home designs that let pets and people live happily together.
As Kritter Kommunity grew, I realized that creating spaces didn’t just mean outdoor enclosures.
It was about building virtual spaces, too, where pet lovers, pet brands, and pet-focused organizations could connect.
That’s where Kritter Kommunications was born, a place to bring brands and people together through authentic storytelling, social media strategies, and in-person connections at trade shows and events.
One Mission, Two Spaces: All About the Paws and the People
In both Kritter Kommunity and Kritter Kommunications, I’m all about making connections—whether it’s helping pet owners build the perfect pet-friendly space or helping pet brands connect with their audience.
From practical design tips to social media ambassadorship, my mission is simple: to make life better for pets and their people.
So, welcome! Whether you’re here to find inspiration for your home, advice for your pet, or support for your brand, you’ve got a space with Kritter Kommunity and a partner in Kritter Kommunications.
Let’s build these spaces together, online, outdoors, and beyond.

Then & Now
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember 🐾💖.
Growing up, some of my fondest memories were at my grandma’s house, playing with the neighbor’s curious kitty and a chatty little bird 🐦.
Then came Flaky, a family pet parakeet—a snowy white bird with red eyes and a quirky personality.
And Tabitha, our loyal poodle, who brought so much joy and snuggles! 🐩
As a young adult, my roommate Edith introduced me to her two incredible cats, Samantha and Kit-Kat, and we even fostered a rescue poodle who’d had a rough start to life 🐕❤️.
But my journey into real cat parenting truly began when I adopted Madison, a tuxedo cat with FIV, rescued from the streets of Philadelphia 🖤🤍.
He brought a whole new kind of appreciation into my life—and then his vet convinced me to bring home a young tabby cat Abigail.
She was a sweet FIV-positive teenager, also rescued from the Philly streets 🐈💕.
Madison and Abigail were my original muses, inspiring my very first cat product!
Losing Madison was heart-wrenching, but soon, Finnegan came along—a little tuxedo kitten found in a crop field.
Finnegan’s playful personality sparked even more ideas, and when we made the big move from Philadelphia to Illinois, I had already designed the Pet Lodge just for him 🏡🐈⬛—a safe, cozy place where he could crash during travel.
Abigail eventually crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈, and now
Finnegan (around 14!) continues to rule the roost with a pile of toys and plenty of treats 😹.
