Titty Cat Tees

At the age of 26, in 2019, I was diagnosed with breast cancer after feeling a lump. Over the next 18 months I quit my job while undergoing chemo, radiation, a bilateral mastectomy, reconstruction, and a revision surgery. After finishing active treatment in March 2021 I launched titty cat tees. Now I design and sell awareness merch that people actually want to wear and use my platform to educate others on breast health.

As a cat lover and cat mom, it only made sense to pay homage to my girls (cats), while also paying homage to my girls (titties). If you look closely at the titty cat logo; you'll see a pair of titties making up the cat's face, with the middle whiskers in the same place as the scars I have from surgery.
