Rescues, Fosters & Recent Adopters

Free, structured behaviour guidance to ensure smooth transitions, prevent shelter returns, and help cats thrive in their forever homes.

For Fosters

Support for mild behavioural concerns, low-stress handling, and pre-adoption preparation.

For Recent AdoptersFirst 30-60 Days

Guidance for post-adoption adjustments, hiding, litter box setup, and initial introductions.

My empathy for adopters isn't theoretical. Well before my career in behaviour, I experienced the heartache of having to return two adopted cats when behavioural challenges pushed my household past its breaking point. That experience taught me two vital truths: behaviour work must support the human just as much as the cat, and zero-judgment care saves lives.

Post Adoption Behaviour Support

I provide behaviour support directly to adopters, helping them navigate common challenges during the transition period and beyond.

  • Litter box issues
  • Hiding and adjustment
  • Vocalization
  • Introductions (cat, dog, children)
  • Enrichment and environment setup

The process

How Support Works

  1. Adopter Reaches Out

    Adopters contact me directly via email or website.

  2. Intake & Assessment

    I gather relevant background information from fosters or staff and current observations from adopters.

  3. Structured Guidance & Follow-Up

    I provide a clear behaviour plan with optional follow-up support.

For rescues

Simple to Integrate

This service requires no additional workload from your team.

Existing notes from fosters or intake records are more than sufficient when needed, and adopters communicate with me directly.

Optional Support for Fosters

If helpful, I’m also available to provide guidance for fosters managing mild behavioural concerns or preparing cats for successful adoption.

This is entirely optional and can be used on a case-by-case basis.

About Me

I am currently completing my Diploma in Feline Behaviour Science and Technology through CASI (Companion Animal Sciences Institute) while working toward IAABC certification in cat behaviour consulting. I am a Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP) and a Cat-Friendly Veterinary Advocate (CFVA).

In addition to my formal behavioural training, I work on the frontlines of a veterinary clinic where I see firsthand how behavioural challenges impact real families and shelter animals every day. My focus is on delivering practical, evidence-based support using positive reinforcement and welfare-first approaches to keep cats in loving homes long-term.
