About Your Paw Friends
Our Story
On a rainy fall day of October 2014, meandering along cobblestone paths in Lisbon, a scrawny 2-month-old kitten trailed her soon-to-be savior. After being treated to plenty of food, love, and attention, Sushi chose to make her rescuer her permanent home and family.
In 2015, she became bold, snagged her European passport, and shifted from Portugal’s countryside to her new place in Toronto, Canada.
Sushi roamed Canada and the USA, hanging out with squirrels, racoons, groundhogs, dogs, birds, and butterflies.
In February of 2022 Sushi welcomed a new family member, her GSD furry sister named Lunnie. They both teamed up to create ‘Your Paw Friends’ to help their furry buddies, because the more paws, the merrier!

"Your Paw Friends is a celebration of LOVE, COMPASSION and GIVING BACK to our furry friends who need it MOST!
Let’s build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness."
How Did We Start?
From the very beginning, we knew one thing – our passion for animals runs deep, and far too many furry friends aren’t receiving the love they deserve. Inspired by our beloved furbaby and CEO (our Cat Executive Officer), we founded Your Paw Friends. Here, we not only bring your pet-themed shopping dreams to life but also commit to a cause close to our hearts – helping animals in need.
Together, let’s make a difference for our four-legged companions!
Message from Sushi, the CEO – Cat Executive Officer:
"Meow, Meow, Meow"
Translation:
"Love Rescued Meow"

That’s why we actively support various animal charities, including Cat’s Annex, World Animal Protection, and Humane Society International, through our continuous donations.
