In this course you will learn tools and techniques for coaching clients to successfully introduce or re-introduce cats to avoid common problems.

Here’s how to fix them!

Manage a safe environment

Patience is an Associate Certified Cat Behavior Consultant and a Certified Veterinary Assistant with a BS (biology), MS (engineering), and a Diploma in Feline Behavior Science Technology. She owns Patience for Cats, a cat behavior business based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In 2006, Patience began working with cats and adopters at an animal shelter and fostering and training the cats with behavioral problems. She has fostered over 30 such cats, many of whom were introduced to her cats to see if they could be adopted out to multi-cat households. This gave her multiple experiences with different cats’ reactions to being introduced to resident cats.
