The Dollzuki story

There has always been more to Karen than her love of cats. But they are where the story begins.

From a remarkable rescue cat to a family of unforgettable Maine Coons, Dollzuki has grown around the things Karen cares about most: animals, creativity and bringing people together.

Where it all began

It started
with George.

George, a ginger rescue cat who is three-quarters Maine Coon, has been a huge part of Karen's life. Now 20 years old, he has a character all of his own and a very special place in the family.

That bond helped inspire a love of Maine Coons that would go on to shape Dollzuki. What began with one extraordinary cat has grown into a world of unique personalities, memorable experiences and friendships built around them.

Life with the cats

Never just
beautiful faces.

They are family first. Every one has a personality, a way of making themselves known and a place in Karen's heart.

Beyond the cat world

A life
in motion.

Karen has never been one to stand still. She loves the energy and expression of ballroom and Latin American dancing, and the social buzz of Ceroc. Swimming and strength training (SRT) bring a different kind of challenge, while creative shoots have given her the chance to explore everything from motorbikes to burlesque.

That curiosity and willingness to embrace something new carries into Dollzuki too. But however busy life gets, the cats remain at the centre of it.

Animal welfare and giving back

Love is
something you do.

Karen's commitment to animals goes beyond her own cats. She has spent time volunteering and fostering with Wood Green, helping animals who need care and a fresh start.

That same spirit runs through the Dollzuki pop-up cat cafés and fundraising activities. Sharing the joy of Maine Coons is also a way of supporting animal welfare and drawing attention to causes close to her heart.
