Hello! I’m Dr. Duncan - and this is Purrz!

My experience guides every product I create - simple, thoughtful designs that genuinely improve everyday life for cats and the people who love them.

Hello! I'm Dr. Duncan, I’m an emergency care veterinarian, pet product designer, and proud pet parent.

In emergency practice, you quickly learn what truly matters for an animal’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing. My product inspiration is shaped by what I see every day - how animals behave under stress or when they’re bored, what comforts them, and what excites and stimulates them.

I’ve spent over a decade in animal nutrition and product development. That experience led me to found Purrz, with a mission to create exceptional cat products grounded in veterinary expertise and genuine care for cats.

If your cat isn’t resting, they should be playing with purpose - stalking, chasing, and engaging in ways that are both stimulating and controlled. That’s the Purrz Way!

Cheers,
Dr. Duncan

Head Of Quality Control

A Cat With a Big Mission

Gary: my fluffy Ragdoll, professional lounger, and self-appointed Head of Quality Control.

Gary “tests” everything with an elite-level attitude:

  1. Nap Test: If it’s not insanely cozy, it’s rejected.
  2. Sniff Test: One sniff = maybe. Two sniffs + side-eye = absolutely not.
  3. Chaos Test: If it doesn’t keep him calm and entertained, expect a protest.

And his eating habits? Honestly… art. Gary is a fussy little food critic who:

  1. Inspects meals like he’s judging a cooking show
  2. Demands the perfect texture (or he simply walks away like you don’t exist)
  3. Prefers “freshly served” even if it’s literally the same thing from 10 minutes ago
  4. Tries to sample anything new because obviously it was purchased for him specifically

So here’s the mission: make cats happier, calmer, and beautifully spoiled — with products that pass the Gary Standard… and the vet standard. And remember, time to make your cat…

So Faaancy.

Because every cat deserves more than just a bed—it deserves a place to belong.
