Initial Consultation
Our first session lasts up to 1.5 hours. We'll review your cat’s history, observe behavior when safe, tour the environment, and discuss your goals and expectations. Together, we’ll create a personalized behavior plan, which you’ll receive via email along with homework to support progress.
Package Option – Follow-Up Sessions
Follow-up sessions provide continued support by helping us troubleshoot challenges, adjust the behavior plan, and take the next steps tailored to your and your cat’s needs.
