Lisa Illman, President and Founder of Kritter Kommunity, LLC
Lisa Illman is the President and Founder of Kritter Kommunity. Born in 2009 out of her passion for pets, Lisa’s vision for Kritter Kommunity was first conceived as she observed her rescue cats, Madi and Abi’s sad faces as they peered longingly outdoors. A city dweller from Philadelphia, not only is Lisa kitten smitten, but she loves being outdoors – cooking, reading a book, relaxing. With her heart set on creating a fanciful catio for Madi and Abi, Lisa was discouraged when she learned that city building restrictions would limit her. She quickly realized that in order for her entire family to enjoy the outdoors together, she would need to create a safe, effective outdoor cat enclosure.
In 2008, Lisa designed a prototype enclosure for Madi and Abi and they were more than happy to be her first product testers. Living in the city center, Lisa began receiving feedback from neighbors and passers by. Lisa actually had to remove the battery in her doorbell because she was receiving so many inquiries. Realizing the urgent need and demand for reliable and effective catio furniture, Lisa launched Kritter Kommunity and the rest is history.
Although the original Kritter Kondo was designed with the cat owner in mind, Lisa soon found that small dog owners were praising this safe and effective method of containing their small pooches, outdoors. Suitable for up to three cats and dogs less than 35 pounds, Kritter Kondos have taken the pet world by storm.
Armed with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Pennsylvania State University, more than 15 years of sales and marketing experience, and numerous professional awards, Lisa recently quit her full time job as an Energy Account Manager with the Hess Corporation to grow Kritter Kommunity into a world wide brand. Lisa’s professional experience is sure to give her a ‘leg up’ as she launches Kritter Kommunity to pet lovers across the country.
According to Lisa, “My passion lies in helping pets and their owners live their best lives. At Kritter Kommunity, we believe that all pets deserve time exploring the sunny outdoors. We also believe that in order to keep pets safe from disease, other animals and motorists, they need to be safely contained. Kritter Kondo provides an effective solution for cats and small dogs so that they can happily enjoy the outdoors with the rest of their family.”
I love Kritter Kommunity!

How much nicer life is because God placed these other sweet creatures on the planet. I live with four of them (besides my husband and son) :-) Two dogs and two cats. They are such a great addition to our home! And we feed the birds (and rabbits, inadvertently). The deer and squirrels and chipmunks and probably thousands of other creatures live on our farm as well.
So why not take good care of these creatures and make their lives nicer.
One of my favorite quotations is from Woodrow Wilson: 'If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience!' :-)
This is great! We have a new Siamese kitten that would just love this!
Thanks!
yhs.
What a lovely idea. I don't have a cat but I still think that this is great.
thats awesome.... Now your cat can have her own bed room to play in pretty much.
My cat (Che-Lin) would find that neat.
I live in the country and allow my cats free roam-age. but I have a friend, that would love one of these.
How very generous!!
Thanks for the opportunity :)
