amazing creatures.

They bring so much joy to our lives… until they don’t. Having a cat that is peeing on your couch, fighting with another cat, or using your leg as a chew toy doesn’t fill anyone with happiness!

What do people have to say about Class Act Cats?

Read these reviews of satisfied cat parents whose cats are less sassy and more classy!

"Highly recommend: My shy year old rescue kitty, Calypso, was exhibiting bothersome biting behavior at cuddle time. After a brief consultation with Joey to chose the most appropriate training, I enrolled in Class Act Cats Top Hat program and couldn't be any happier!! Joey was very thorough in his evaluation of Calypso's behavior and explained things to me very well. He developed a practical behavior plan that I could easily implement at home. He also provided other suggestions to help enrich my time with Calypso (and her cat sibling, Virgil). After a few weeks of following through with Joey's plan, Calypso has improved so much and no longer bites for attention. Overall, she has grown to be more affectionate and trusting. I am so excited about Calypso's improvement that I am planning to enlist Class Act Cats' help again to work on clicker training Calypso and Virgil in the near future. Thank you so much, Joey and Class Act Cats!!!"

"Joey is brilliant, and he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to cats. I’m a first time cat owner, and when I brought home two kittens, Joey knew everything that I needed to do to prepare my home for my two babies. He was patient and thorough with me when meticulously going through each room to ensure that my kittens would be safe, healthy, and happy in their new home. Since bringing them home, he has coached me regularly and ensured that my kittens are looked after well. Joey has such a gentle approach of ensuring that cats are positively reinforced, and it has worked so well for my kittens! Joey’s coaching has been such a huge help for my kittens, and I cannot recommend Class Act Cats enough. ❤️"

"Joey is very knowledgeable, patient, honest and doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear, he tells you what you need to hear. We adopted our cat in August, not knowing/understanding as much as we thought about cats. She was definitely sassy after going through too many changes in a short time. She was biting and clawing us a lot, specially me. He opened our minds to what she needed more of. He was very quick to reply to emails, spent a lot of time with us to help our girl and us live happier and lives filled with more fun and less biting. Even when we thought it was time to throw in the towel, and almost did…he was supportive of that with us. We are forever grateful to you Joey. Thank you."

"Joey @ Class Act Cats saved me, seriously! I adopted Bernie February 2021 and I hadn't slept a full night since. I contacted Joey September 2022 and asked for his help. He provided empathy, care, expertise and kindness in offering ways for me do things differently so Bernie & I can live in harmony. Joey's love of all things cats and his knowledge is beyond measure. Since meeting with Class Act Cats, I am so happy to share I am now sleeping through the night! Bernie is so much happier, which makes me happy! If you are experiencing any issues with your furry feline friend, do yourself a huge favor and contact Class Act Cats! Joey is the absolute best "Cat Whisperer!""

"I had a great experience with Joey at Class Act Cats. We did a virtual consult for my cat who has been having some overgrooming issues for years. We were able to formulate a game plan to better address some potential causes of this behavior. I'm happy to report I started seeing improvements and now have a good idea of what my next steps should be. Joey was thorough, had plenty of resources, and was genuinely interested in improving my kitty's well-being!"
