Most cat parents want to provide the best environment to their cat, but unfortunately, there's often a problem.

Many cat parents unknowingly set up their cat's environment or interact with their cat in ways that cause stress and unwanted behaviours to develop.

Learn how to set everything up from the beginning and feel confident knowing that your kitty can put their best paw forward.

Learn how to create a nurturing and positive environment where your cat can reach their full potential and live stress free!

Whether you're a new cat parent, or you just want to step up your "catification" game, having the proper set up is essential in raising a well adjusted cat that doesn’t suffer with behavioural problems.

Whether it's advice about products, ideal placement of your cat's belongings, safety tips, how to interact with your cat, or other enrichment questions, I am here to help!

So how does it work?

I ask you some questions about the layout of your home and your personal preferences, so that I can recommend the appropriate products and placement of them. 

We also discuss the reasoning behind incorporating specific items, so that there's no confusion about why I am recommending them.

And probably the most important thing, is we discuss appropriate ways to interact with a cat, so that you can create a strong and loving bond with them!

Consults done through video chat. Home visits available within the City of Edmonton. Please note, travel fees may apply)
