Krista's Story
Krista Schulte
Certified Cat Behaviour Consultant, CCBC, ABCCT, CFVA
Certifications & Completed Seminars
My journey into the world of feline well-being began in childhood, surrounded by the comforting purrs of at least two beloved cats at all times. This lifelong passion blossomed into a professional calling, starting at the Toronto Humane Society, where I specialized in feline enrichment and later, behaviour modification. My expertise deepened as an award-winning Cat Behaviour Counsellor with Toronto Cat Rescue, where I helped countless cats thrive in both home and rescue environments.
I'm a Certified Cat Behaviour Consultant and Certified Fear Free Professional, dedicated to helping cats and their families build harmonious relationships through evidence-based, compassionate care. My approach is rooted in veterinary-endorsed methods and the latest animal behavioural science. I believe in empowering families across Canada and around the world with personalized support, offering virtual consultations nationwide and in-home visits locally here in Toronto.

It’s important to remember that behaviour isn't always just about the cat—sometimes environmental factors can influence how they act. I'm here to explore all aspects and guide you through understanding what might be impacting your cat’s behaviour.

Which of your services is right for me?
Great question! Once you decide on the program that best suits your needs, you'll have the opportunity to fill out a detailed history form. During our consultation, we'll go over the specifics, discuss your cat’s behaviours, and create a personalized plan tailored to you and your feline friend. We’ll also set realistic goals and work together to achieve them in a timely manner. As always, no one-size-fits-all approach here – I'm all about what works best for you and your cat!
Is my cat too old to be trained?
It's never too late to train your older cats! Once we identify the behavioural concern, I'll take a look at the situation as a whole and focus on providing mental stimulation and encouraging positive changes. Whether it's a new or pre-existing issue, with patience and consistency, we'll work together to guide them toward the improvements you want to see.
