Jackson Galaxy

Jackson Galaxy is an animal advocate and a renowned cat behavior and wellness expert, with over 30 years of experience. He hosted Animal Planet's "My Cat from Hell," a long-running hit show which helped countless cat parents address feline behavioral issues. His unique ability to connect with cats emerged from his background working at a large animal shelter, and laid the foundation for his private practice, his TV show, and as a digital content creator with over 7 million followers.

Galaxy is a two-time New York Times best-selling author of the books, "Cat Daddy," "Catification," "Catify to Satisfy," and "Total Cat Mojo." His foundational approach to both a happier, more confident cat and a deeper human-animal relationship centers around understanding and honoring who he calls “the Raw Cat”: the ancestral wild animal that lives within each individual.

In 2015, Galaxy founded the Jackson Galaxy Project (JGP), now a Signature Program of Greater Good Charities, to improve the lives of at-risk animals and to support those who care for them. He still conducts JGP workshops around the country as well as engaging in more intensive work with individual organizations through his private shelter consultation practice.

Galaxy lives in Los Angeles with his wife Minoo, cats Penelope, Theo and Mowgli, their turtle, Sammy, and their two dogs, Pasha and Audrey.
