Meow Tales Editorial Team
The editorial team at Meow Tales — a small group of cat-loving writers, fact-checkers and rescue volunteers who put every guide through a fact-and-welfare review before publication.
Experience
- Editorial review against International Cat Care and RSPCA welfare guidance
- Multi-source fact-checking for every published guide
- Volunteer experience at UK and EU cat-rescue charities
The Meow Tales editorial team writes, edits and fact-checks every article on this site. We focus on welfare-first, evidence-led journalism — from rescue stories and breed guides to behaviour explainers and care advice.
