Get to know the founder, Lauren

Founder Lauren with her partner, Connor

Hello!

My name is Lauren Motto and I love cats. Besides being the proud mother of the three black cats pictured below, I am a pharmacist, live with my partner Connor in Boston, and am the founder of Meows & Vows.

Outside of doting on my own kitties, I have almost a decade of experience working with cats of all temperaments. Through volunteering as a trapper and transporter for local feral colonies, as well as driving cross-country with two cats riding shotgun in a U-Haul, I’ve learned how to successfully care for cats during long journeys. Additionally, my years of cat sitting, administering feline medication, and running a cat rescue have provided me with the skills needed for the highest level of care.

I’m a crazy cat lady with 4ft tall pictures of my cats in my living room, I care deeply for all animals, and I want to help bring your wedding dreams to life with Meows & Vows.

My Inspiration

  • Image of Pocket, a shaved black cat on the floor

    Pocket

    Pocket is Socket’s twin brother and is a sweet, cuddly, round man. Despite being on several prescription diets over the years he still weighs 26 pounds. When not napping next to a heater he is likely napping on a lap. His special skill is giving a “Pocket hug,” where he wraps his arms around both sides of your neck to nuzzle right in.

    Socket

    Socket is Pocket’s twin sister and is an absolute princess. Despite her soft fur and elegant look, she rules over the house with an iron claw. She loves to climb, wrestle, and drool when pet. She is also medically complex and has tummy troubles - providing Lauren with ample practice administering her daily medications.

    Solaire

    Originally from Florida, Solaire is Connor’s cat who recently moved in with his new siblings and Lauren. Solaire is a reserved kitty who is easily startled but his personality shines when given space. He loves sitting on the piano while it’s being played, performing tricks for treats, and standing outside the shower when it’s occupied.
