- Pamela Kay was honored to be named one of Nashville's 25 Most Beautiful in the 2007 Anniversary Edition of Nashville Lifestyle's Magazine with Blake Shelton and Taylor Swift for Nashvillian's who look good, work hard, and give back to their community. Proud of her Irish and Cherokee heritage, she also holds a master's degree in teaching, graduated with honors, and taught middle school English for eight years. She's an experienced and professional stand-in and photo double, having worked for Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson, and Kirsten Dunst. Pamela is a skilled improv hostess with more than 12 years of local and regional television hosting experience, in addition to her commercial modeling and marketing professionalism. Pamela Kay is a domestic violence survivor and advocate, and few people know she's suffered and had to overcome surviving not only Hurricane Katrina, but the flooding of her beloved wildlife refuge in 2016 during an unexpected 100 year flood. She's only recently disclosed to the public that she's fought to overcome her own struggles with the public pressure and stigma of her diagnosis of permanent disability after seven emergency surgeries in the last ten years, three of which could have left her paralyzed. Through her challenges, she's focused on encouraging others in similar circumstances, striving to work harder to prove her worth in the entertainment industry to support her wildlife projects and keeping her promises to the rescue felids she cares for. She considers them her lifeline. "It doesn't matter what you can do, great or small, doing something to help others helps you forget your own inadequacy by empowering and loving those around us. That truly makes life worth living." These days she spends the majority of her time pursuing her true passion, her volunteer efforts as a bobcat and lynx behaviorist and rehabilitator since 2007.

- Grew up on a farm in the country with cows and horses. She is an animal lover with four rescued dogs and four cats. She has experience with handling exotic cats and stunts involving animals.
- Was a PR/Marketing Agent and English junior high school teacher prior to getting into commercial on camera work.
- Pamela has a Master's in Arts in Teaching Middle School English, and graduated with a 4.0gpa. She spent most of her years as a classroom educator working with one of the most underfunded rural and challenged areas of Louisiana in an alternative school setting. She describes those years as her most rewarding as an educator. Even with a shortage of textbooks, they had encouragement from administration to create a positive, engaging, and creative learning environment for the students. After an unexpected emergency two level cervical disc surgery ended with complications, she was forced to retire early in 2012, after just opening a refuge for wild felids in 2010. She is an internationally certified wildlife rehabilitator and specializes in bobcat rehabilitation and reintroduction back into the wild. Since 2010, she began devoting the majority of her time and resources (including her teacher's retirement) to her passion, which was establishing The Louisiana Bobcat Refuge.
- Big purrs! It's Pamela Kay's unique trademarked expression she developed for the Louisiana Bobcat Refuge as a signature remark in opening or closing posts on social media or in written or verbal communication. Those who follow louisianabobcatrefuge.com via facebook have become all too familiar with the saying and wish her, Big purrs, in return. She has also given the Louisiana Bobcat Refuge permission to use it in a product line development for merchandise which supports their mission.
- The beauty of mankind blossoms in tragedy.
- I tried my best to hide being disabled for many years. I didn't judge others who were, but I judged myself and the person I no longer was, and felt others would do the same. When you have a disability, you try so hard to prove your ability you oftentimes end up offending those you try most to impress. It's a really tough balance between longing for compassion and understanding, yet desiring respect, but not feeling comfortable talking about either one. We're raised to wear masks and put on a happy face. No one wants to hear about our hurts and problems, so how else do others know that they too, can overcome theirs? Sharing is caring, I've learned. Being honest about who we are and our imperfections, even if we miss out on opportunities is OK. More often than not, you can feel misunderstood and rejected, especially with a disability that isn't readily detectable to the naked eye. Society is so quick to stereotype what an individual with a disability should look like, and act like and what their limitations are. Being free to be true and real is humbling, powerful, and necessary. Honesty changes perceptions and stereotypes. PK
- Losing a bobcat can be really hard. It's incredibly hard trying to rehab: emotionally, physically, financially. Be prepared to give it everything you have, and make sacrifices. It will break you. It will change you. It will make you see things differently, change your perceptions, priorities in life, and change your heart for the better.
