About Me

Meet Katiana & Family

Hi, I'm Katiana, though most people simply call me Kat. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and October 2021 I moved with my two wonderful children, Evander and Penelope, to Clinton, NC. From day one this community has wrapped us in warmth and made us feel right at home, and I couldn't be more thankful.

My love for pets and wellness has always been part of who I am. When my mom, Jenny, opened Noah's Ark Pet Spa, I spent more and more time around her shop, listening to pet parents share their struggles. I kept hearing the same things: dogs and cats with skin problems, tummy troubles, picky appetites, bad breath, and families wishing for healthier options they could trust. That's when a lightbulb went off. 

I started digging into research, exploring the very best products, and carefully choosing only the ones that could truly make a difference. Everything at The Wholistic Paws is here because of those conversations, those concerns, and that passion for helping pets live their best lives. 

We opened our first and only location on June 6, 2025, and since then it has been a dream come true to share our love of holistic pet care to this amazing community.

Now, with my kids by my side and my mom right next door, I get to live my dream of serving this community that has given us so much. The Wholistic Paws isn't just a store—it's a space filled with care, solutions, and a whole lot of love for the pets who are family.
