FELINE BEHAVIOUR CONSULTING
Cats Don't Act Out. They Communicate.
Cats communicate through behaviour. When something changes, or when a problem has been going on for a long time, there is always a reason. Finding it requires looking at the full picture: history, environment, health, temperament, and the specific dynamics of your household.
When you're frustrated, worried, or out of ideas, the last thing you need is unqualified advice dressed up as expertise. You need someone who has studied feline behaviour, not just lived with it.
That is what behaviour consulting is for. A real assessment, a clear direction, and someone who actually knows what they're looking at.

WHO YOUR'E WORKING WITH
Heather Brown is a Certified Feline Behaviour and Training Specialist (C.F.T.B.S.) with over 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary clinics, shelters, rescues, and in-home care. Consultations draw on feline behavioural science, environmental enrichment, behaviour modification, and positive reinforcement to build a plan that is specific to your cat and your household.
​
Behaviour consulting isn't only for cats with active problems. If you're welcoming your first cat, introducing a new cat to an existing household, or simply want to make sure your home is set up well for the cats already in it, a consultation can save you a lot of guesswork.
