Shelters & Animal Care Professional Services
I work with shelters, rescues, animal welfare organizations, animal care professionals, and behavior professionals working in cat behavior and welfare to support feline emotional wellbeing, strengthen day-to-day care, and help navigate real-world challenges.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in what is actually possible within your environment, resources, and capacity, not ideals that only work on paper.
Ways to Work Together
1:1 Guidance & Support
Working in cat care and wellbeing can bring questions, challenges, and situations that aren't always easy to navigate alone. Sometimes it helps to have a knowledgeable sounding board, another perspective, or space to think through what you're encountering.
Individualized support is available for shelter and rescue staff, volunteers, fosters, animal care professionals, behavior professionals, and others working in cat care. Bring questions or challenges around cat behavior and wellbeing, adoption or fostering, sheltering and caregiving practices, barriers you're encountering, professional growth, or ideas for creating positive change.
Depending on what you bring, we might brainstorm, problem-solve, explore different perspectives, or simply think through a complicated situation together.
