A Cat's Purrspective, LLC

I help owners/caregivers work with their cats to resolve or change behaviors that are having a negative effect on the cat's or people's lives.

How I Can Help:

When your cat(s) behaves in ways that negatively affect their lives or yours, I can help by working with you to identify the cause(s) of the behavior and then develop strategies to change it. With years of experience interacting with hundreds of cats, I have both the knowledge and experience necessary to support positive behavior changes in your cat(s). We begin with an Initial Virtual Consult to have a discussion about my policies and the way I like to work, plus I will provide you with general information about cats that may be relevant to your cat's unique situation; this consult lasts 30 minutes ($25 fee). Following that consult, we move on to full consults, which include a Cat Behavior Plan sent out after each consult ($65 hourly fee, plus travel fee). I aim to create each behavior plan collaboratively with each client; I make recommendations during the consult, which we then discuss together to see if those recommendations are possible for your unique situation. Every cat and every client is different; and I will always do my best to find ways to work with your unique set of circumstances!

I have helped clients work through: aggression issues between cats, adapting to behavioral issues caused by medical conditions such as feline diabetes (*while the cat's medical condition is being managed by a veterinarian), litter box avoidance issues, aggression issues toward people, fearful/skittish behaviors, and more! I do not use punishment-based methods to create behavior change in cats, as research has overwhelmingly shown that punishment-based methods are ineffective and often harmful to both cats and owners.
