Cat behaviorists aren’t just for the rich and famous, and your cat doesn’t need to be “from hell” before you reach out.

What People Are Saying

“Amber gave me really helpful advice when I was stressed trying to adopt out my brother's 4 year old tabby cat. The cat had behavior issues (biting, scratching) that made it hard to find him a home. I was afraid I'd have to take him to a shelter. Amber gave me several solid suggestions for how to curb his behavior and she recommended several good foster homes that could retrain him. We ended up finding the cat a good forever home. Amber knows her stuff and she's empathetic to cats and humans.”

“Amber has been a huge help to me in working with a former stray I adoped who was not willing to let me near him and was having litter box issues due to anxiety. She had useful answers to all of my questions and suggested products and fixes to all of the issues I brought up, including helping provide a more calming environment, keeping my other cat from zipping into the room when I opened the door, helping my new cat get used to me, and even the litter box issues. I was beginning to wonder, after several months, if I needed to give up and bring this cat back to the shelter, which of course is the last thing I wanted to do, but now things are on track for integrating him into the household.”

— Quinn R.

“I don't know how I would have survived my new kitten's first year without Amber! She's so knowledgeable, compassionate, and filled with good ideas--and thanks to her, I feel more in tune with *all* of my cats than ever. From navigating the dynamics of multi-pet homes to furniture scratching and ankle biting, there's no ask too big or small for Amber. Seriously, make your life easier and book a consultation with her--you and your cat will be *so* happy you did!”
