Mitty Mau is an AANHPI family-owned clothing brand with a vision to advocate for wellbeing. 

Founder Liang Xu (also a TA Mentor) was inspired by her family - touched by 3 generations of mental illness. When they adopted a rescue cat named Mitty, she filled their hearts with comfort, and brought them closer together. Kat, Liang’s daughter & creative, had a dream: What if we could share that loving feeling with others? Then, Mitty Mau was born. 

Mitty Mau’s cat-themed casual clothing is designed to comfort the body, while quietly supporting the heart. The cat design symbolizes independence, resilience, and being true to yourself. It’s a way to share a powerful message: You’re not alone. There’s help. There’s hope. 

Mitty Mau advocates for mental health awareness, and supports community mental health initiatives. Their contribution to Thriving Asians supports the next cycle of 2026-2027 Youth Mental Health Leadership Programs. Thank you Mitty Mau for being an Asian mental health champion!
