Our Story – The Spare Human Society for Pet Parents

A Real-Life Pet Parent Brand Born from Chaos (and Cat Hair)

It all started with one very opinionated rescue cat. Spare Human Society began the day we realized our cat didn’t just live with us—he managed us. Every snack was supervised, every nap was monitored, and every task was interrupted by a dramatic flop or a judgmental stare. Then his little brother joined the mix—and chaos officially became the house aesthetic. What started as one fur-covered roommate turned into a full-blown lifestyle. And soon, we discovered we weren’t the only ones. All across the internet, cat and dog parents were sharing the same truth: we’re not in control... and that’s okay. Spare Human Society is a place for the funny pet parent lifestyle. We created it as a home for those of us who spoil our pets, sleep on 10% of the bed, and spell out “t-r-e-a-t” just in case. Whether you're a full-time caregiver or the backup support human with a lint roller and a leash in your glove box, you belong here. Through funny pet memes, relatable content, soft and cozy merch, and future resources for pet lovers, we celebrate the hilarious highs and relatable lows of pet parenthood. Our products are made for real-life moments—like scooping the litter while your cat supervises, or walking your dog in your pajamas (again). We’re not here to be fancy—we’re here to be real. And probably late to everything because our pet was finally comfortable on our lap. Welcome to the Spare Human Society. You may not be the main character in your home, but you’re still the favorite.

What We Do

We make content and merch for pet people who know they’re not the main character in their own home—and have made peace with that. From blog posts that speak your truth to apparel that’s proudly fur-friendly, everything we do is for the humans who share their lives (and furniture) with cats and dogs who run the show.

Basically: if your pet has two beds and you sleep on the edge of yours, you’re in the right place.

Why We Exist

Because somewhere between the 3 a.m. zoomies, the unsolicited gifts (lookin’ at you, hairball), and the side-eyes that cut deeper than words, we realized something: this isn’t just pet ownership. It’s a lifestyle.

We’re not here to be perfect pet parents. We’re here to be real ones—tired, slightly disheveled, and very much loved.

Spare Human Society exists to make sure you feel seen, supported, and maybe even laughed at (in the best way)—by a community that gets it.

Our Vibe

  • Pet-obsessed? Always.  
  • Judgy? Only when the cat is.  
  • Humor is our love language.
  • Covered in fur? Yes, but it’s called “being loved.”
  • Embracing the chaos, one meow or bark at a time.
  • Made for the humans who show up with lint rollers, snack bags, and zero regrets.
  • Come for the laughs, stay for the community—and maybe a cozy tee that understands you.

We’re Not Just Pet People—We’re the Spare Humans  

Spare Human Society was born out of a very real truth: our pets run the show. We’re the snack dispensers, the napping surfaces, the loyal staff. Whether you live with a sassy tabby or a high-maintenance hound, you’ve probably realized that you’re not in charge. And honestly? That’s fine with us.

We created this space for the people who rearrange their schedules for naps on their lap. For the ones who pretend they’re not being emotionally manipulated by big eyes and dramatic sighs. For the folks who wear pet hair like it’s part of their identity. (Because it kind of is.) Welcome to the club. You’re among your people.

Not Just Pet Parents—Spare Humans

Why Living with Cats and Dogs Should Count as a Full-Time Job

This is your judgment-free zone for loving your pets out loud—quirks and all. Need hacks? Laughs? Relatable stories that make you feel like you’re not the only one hand-feeding your cat gourmet snacks on a gold-trimmed plate? You’re home.

You know that moment when your dog dramatically sighs because you won’t give them a third treat? Or when your cat knocks something off the counter just to assert dominance? Yeah… we live for those moments—and occasionally survive them too.

At Spare Human Society, we exist for the ones who share their pillows, their snacks, and sometimes their dignity with their pets. You didn’t just sign up for a furry companion—you inherited a full-blown personality with opinions, routines, and a flair for chaos. And somehow, that’s the best part.

We’re building a community that celebrates the humor, the heart, and the daily “what now?” moments of life with cats and dogs. We’re not here to glamorize perfection—we’re here to laugh through the shedding, cry when the treats run out, and remind each other that being a spare human is one of the most rewarding (and exhausting) gigs out there.

Spare Human Society isn’t just a brand—it’s a shared experience. We’re the ones ducking under tail flicks, wiping off nose boops, and whispering “I’m so lucky” even when there’s puke on the rug. This is a space where pet parents can laugh, learn, vent, and feel seen—without judgment or the pressure to be perfect.

Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that being a spare human isn’t a role you play—it’s who you become the moment a furry little tyrant claims you as theirs.
