About

Whether it’s addressing more complex behavioural concerns or helping you better understand your cat’s needs, I focus on more than just training your cat. I work alongside you to teach you how to communicate effectively with your feline friend—without fear, submission, or intimidation. Every cat is unique, and I believe in tailoring my approach to suit the individual needs of both you and your cat.

​

It’s important to remember that behaviour isn’t always just about the cat; environmental factors often play a role too. I take the time to understand your home, routine, and lifestyle to ensure the changes we work on are not only effective but sustainable.

 

As a Cat Behaviour Consultant, my mission is to create lasting solutions that strengthen the bond between you and your cat. With my experience and compassionate approach, I’ve helped countless families build harmonious homes where cats thrive. I’m excited to help you navigate the world of cat behaviour and work together to create a positive, lasting change.

Krista Schulte

Certified Cat Behaviour Consultant, CCBC, FFCP, ABCCT, CFVA

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.

I specialize in resolving a wide range of feline behaviour concerns, including common frustrations like litter box issues, unwanted scratching, and inter-cat tension, as well as more complex challenges such as anxiety and aggression. Every consultation is meticulously tailored to your individual cat's needs, always with a focus on reducing stress and building trust. My commitment to understanding feline behaviour and promoting animal welfare led me to extensive learning. I'm inspired by renowned experts like Jackson Galaxy and have been recognized as one of Hepper's Top 29 Cat Behaviourists.  My foundation is built upon force-free, positive reinforcement methods, a philosophy I further formalized by completing the International Cat Care Advanced Feline Behaviour for Professionals program and earning certification in cat training from the Animal Behavior College. I am deeply committed to the Least Inhibitive, Functionally Effective (LIFE) model,  ensuring all my training practices are ethical, effective, and prioritize your cat's well-being.​

I continuously expand my knowledge through additional courses and ongoing education, and I'm an active member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), Pet Professional Guild (PPG) and Cat Writers Association.  When I'm not fostering harmonious relationships between cats and their owners, you might find me providing exceptional care for feline companions through Rover Pet Sitting.
