Satisfied Humans. Happier Cats.
It has been simply amazing having Krista by our side as we adopted a very skittish and shy kitty a few months ago. She was a stray rescue and needed a lot of patience and Krista was there for me for all my queries. 'Krista is very reliable and responsive. She understands and empathises with your concerns'. Cats are unpredictable creatures so one can never be 100% sure what will work with them, but I can say that Krista will help you navigate through the thick and thin of it. She surely did that for me.

My consultation was amazing it actually made my cat live easily with my new adoption. I’m over the moon happy
I can’t even put a dollar amount on the peace of mind the consultation has given me. I was in bits because I thought I had made a mistake in getting my new cat but now with all the tools my behaviourist armed me with, we are all living in harmony.
'Don’t hesitate to give Krista a call ,you will be happy you did. She was a life saver for me and my cats'.

When we got Merlin from the rescue, he was biting us all the time. He had eye infections and I could not clean his eye discharge off his face or give him his eye drops prescribed by the vet. He did not allow us to get near him either. I reached out for help and Krista responded to me quickly. She gave me a lots of tips how to work with Merlin to build up his trust, when to go to the vet and what questions to ask, how to transition him out of the safe room etc. Within 6 weeks, Merlin has stopped biting us out of fear. 'I feel Krista has saved us a lot of time, money and headache by sharing with us her knowledge and experience'.

The consultation made me feel much better that I was doing the right things to make sure Felix is living the best life possible. 'Krista helped me realize the importance of being patient and repitition. Felix is now a lot less shy, and he's become the most affectionate cat in the world'. Having the right advice and reassurance saved me a lot of time and stress in doing my own research or going to the vet. She also directed me to free resources I can use to clicker train Felix. I highly recommend Krista - her advice is solid, and to the point. She knows what she's talking about!

'My consultation with Krista was life-changing!' I saved at least 30 minutes a day from cleaning, more time for kitty cuddles.Krista is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She helped solve a litter problem that had been going on for some time and I felt like I had tried everything. My cats and I are much happier. Thank you so much for your help x
