​​For my master’s degree, I conducted research focused on cat behavior and began volunteering at my local shelter. I worked with those labeled “Caution” or “Aggressive” and quickly saw how misunderstood they were, often going months without being touched. I realized then that there was a lack of resources on safe, humane handling of fearful and aggressive cats, so I created this website to share my knowledge and skills. Through daily enrichment and socialization, I helped reduce fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS), improving their quality of life and chances of getting adopted. Since then, I’ve continued working with shelters and TNR clinics, developing training videos and resources to help others better understand and manage cats with challenging behavior from shelters, to vet clinics, to new adopters and fosters.
