Consultation Packages
Because cat-to-cat introductions (and re-introductions) can be so challenging I am now offering a special Cat-to-Cat Introduction Package that adds 60 minutes of follow-up calls (virtual or phone) at a 45% discount off the 2nd hour.
Booking is easy. Choose the package below to schedule a virtual or in person. Choose your desired day and time,and answer a few basic questions.
At the end, you’ll be prompted for a credit card payment. A Zoom or Google Meet link (your choice) will immediately follow by email. Existing clients
get a discount on 30 minute and 60 minute follow up sessions. Contact me for details.
Unsure if a virtual consultation meets your needs? I think they're as effective, and sometimes more so than an in-person visit.
Between seeing videos, having you fill out my behavior questionnaire(s), and seeing a sketch of your home's floor plan I will get a
really good picture of what's going on. And I don't impact your cat's behavior by being physically present. Also, I don't train your
cat; I train you to train your cat, and that works perfectly over Zoom.

Webinar: The Dogs of Chernobyl: A Story of Hope and Resilience
In 2019 I was on a spay/neuter and research campaign for the dogs and cats that descended from the pets left behind after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident. This rare look at Chernobyl, the dogs and people who continue to live there, features my photos and videos from athe abandoned towns of Pripyat and Chernobyl City. A story of unexpected resilience, hope, and heroism, it is at times poignant, emotional and ultimately hopeful.
