ABOUT MAD CAT

I started making beard oils about 7 years ago..mainly because I had a hard time finding ones in the stores or online that didn’t completely dry out or over saturate my beard hairs. I got frustrated and just started making my own for myself as well as friends and co workers. After about a year I had gotten so popular in certain circles that I decided to try my luck in selling them. I’ve only been a business since 2019  but, I've been carried in 10 shops, stores, salons locally and have developed a lot of return customers around Findlay, Ohio and beyond.

   I do everything 100% by myself…designs, marketing, sales and everything that comes with the business. The only exception being the mascot illustrations done by the amazingly talented Rob LeBlanc of "BrokenOpticsArt". (Check them out on Instagram!) Having a degree in design and marketing definitely helped out.

   I'm also a huge professional wrestling fan. Over the past 3 years, I have actually been able to partner with quite a number of my favorite people in that community from the past and present! This has kind of given me the reputation as "THE Professional Wrestling Beard Care"..which I honestly love! They are all honorary members of the Mad Cat Beard Care CREW and all have their very own exclusive scents in my shop. So, while shopping around, keep an eye out for these professional wrestler’s exclusive scents: Delirious, The Briscoe Bros., Josh "The Goods" Woods, Josh Alexander, Matt Cardona, Brian Myers, Beer City Bruiser, Shane Taylor, Swoggle, Horror King Vincent, The Blue Meanie, Luke Gallows, Bronson Reed…and many more! 

   I donate portions of my sales to a different cat/animal rescue or mental health non-profit every other month or so to spread more positivity in the world.

   The "Mad" portion of the name comes from my own personal struggles with mental health issues with anxiety and depression. I'm a huge advocate for Mental Health and wellness and I try my best to spread positivity where I can. Everyday is a new start and Mad Cat allows me to focus on more pleasant things in the world! 

 

The inspiration for my Mad Cat mascot is to the right. This is my 16 year old cat, Stinky. I've had him since 2007 after he was shot with an arrow. The rescue said he wouldn't make it past a month..and he was able to prove them wrong! Unfortunately, this past July (2021), I lost him...but it was to old age and happy living..and not that damn arrow! He was my best friend and I truly miss him...but I will continue to do what I can to make sure Mad Cat Beard Care continues to grow in his memory!
