Cat Behavior

When your cat's behavior creates stress for you and your household, you need help from someone who "gets" cats. 

​

I am one of only a handful of Certified Cat Behavior Consultants in New England. In addition to a strong foundation in the science of feline behavior, I bring the knowledge and experience of helping hundreds of cats and their families. 

All Cat Behavior services begin with an  Initial Consultation - $275

(60-minute consultation, written recommendations, & one 30-min follow-up session)​​

​

Based on our consultation, additional sessions may be recommended.

Additional sessions are based on $100/hour (virtual) and $120/hour (in-person)​​
