Online Cat Training
Virtual cat and kitten training consultations are 1-3 hours and via FaceTime, Google Meet, or Zoom. Other platforms may be used. Clients fill out a Feline Behavior Questionnaire before the meeting. Video clips of the cat’s environment and any behavior issues you’d like to address are requested.

Help for kitten biting and scratching
Teddy
Although we had previously had full grown shelter cats, Teddy was our first kitten and we were completely unprepared for his scratching and attacking us as though we were prey items…Prior to our finding Alana we had thought of giving Teddy away to another family—we can hardly believe we even contemplated that as he is now the center of our family, much loved and very loving.” ~ Helen Berger & Teddy, Massachusetts
