Cat More Sassy Than Classy?

The majority of people seeking cat behavior help will go with a behavior consultation. Behavior consultations are designed to help with unwanted behaviors. Before resorting to undesirable outcomes like rehoming, let me help! A behavior consultation is more comprehensive than cat training and will get to the root of what's causing your cat's unwanted behavior. We'll go over environmental factors, human factors, your cat's history, and more to come up with a solution.

Behavior consultations can help with a variety of unwanted behaviors included cats not using the litter box, biting, fighting cats, and more. If you're trying to decide if you should rehome your cat, I can help give you a non-judgemental, objective assessment of if it is in the best interest of your cat or if there are other things you can try first. It's a challenging decision and I'm here to support you making the right choice for your situation!

See below for more information on what a behavior consultation is, prices, and links to book sessions online. I offer full consultations, short sessions for minor problems, and packages of sessions. If you want to chat before booking, you can contact me via e-mail, text, or our contact form. You can also schedule a 15 minute call to ask any questions you might have about working with me or go over the process! As a friendly reminder, I cannot give behavior advice without setting up a consultation.

Initial Consultation

The first step to determining how to help your cat is booking an initial 90 minute session. Initial consultations can be done virtually or in home if you are within my service area. I begin your consultation before we even meet by gathering information and assigning homework in some cases. At the initial session, we'll go over your cat's history and behavior in depth and figure out what the root cause of the problem is. Addressing the root cause allows us to not only address the problem now but prevent it in the future! We'll come up with a plan to start addressing the problem. Some cases may require multiple sessions so I offer shorter follow up sessions for continuing to address your cat's behavior. More information on follow up sessions is available below.

Zoomies Session

Have a quick question about cats? Have a minor problem you want to address that doesn't need a full session? This is the option for you! Much like the zoomies in cats, this session is quick and will help get you the advice you need! You can also book this if you have just a few questions you want to ask or want to learn more about cats in general. Examples of problems that can be addressed in a short session include cats waking you up at night and your cat nibbling on your plants. Problems that would NOT be appropriate for this session include biting, litter box problems, or fighting cats. I'm happy to help clarify if you're not sure which route to go!

Follow Up Sessions

For many behavior problems, I strongly prefer people book multiple sessions. Why? I like to work with you over time to make sure we're really addressing the problem! It ultimately helps you and your cats to do multiple sessions rather than just one session. It also prevents us from having to squeeze too much into a single session.

Follow up sessions are 60 minutes and billed hourly at $115 per hour (plus an additional $35 travel fee per session for in home sessions). However, because it is ultimately better for your cat, I offer packages of follow up sessions at a discount for folks who purchase them up front:

  • 3 sessions for $315
  • 5 sessions for $525
  • 8 sessions for $800
  • 10 sessions for $1000

You get 30 days of e-mail or text support from your most recent session included in the price.

You can purchase follow up sessions via the client webpage that is included in your initial session confirmation e-mail.

Travel Fee

Most of the time, virtual consultations are a great way to do an assessment. My prices are set based on virtual sessions. However, there may be reasons where it makes sense for me to come by your home for a consultation (or you may just prefer an in-home consultation!). This involves extra time and travel expenses so an additional fee of $35 will be charged to account for this. If you are outside my service area, an additional fee may be charged to account for the additional travel time and expense. Travel fees are due at booking and are non-refundable. 

Current service areas for in person appointments include Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, New Hope, Brooklyn Center, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Fridley, Columbia Heights, New Brighton, Fridley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, St. Anthony, Lauderdale, Roseville, Falcon Heights, Arden Hills, Edina, Minnetonka, Woodbury, White Bear Lake, North Oaks, Shoreview, Maplewood, and surrounding suburbs. Note that this area is subject to change so please ask if you're interested in an in person appointment.

Virtual appointments can be conducted for those in greater Minnesota or anywhere in the United States!
