About
My philosophy is that there are no "bad" cats; they are merely communicating in the only way they know-how. It is my absolute passion to bridge the gap in communication between cats and their owners.
With 18 years of experience as a veterinary technician , I bring a wealth of knowledge in animal care. My passion extends to a specialized focus on cat behavior, where I have been studying and providing consultations for over 15 years. I am dedicated to enhancing the well-being of our feline friends and their guardians through understanding, compassion , and expert guidance.

Shelters
Cats often experience high levels of stress while in shelter environments. At Kitty Be Good, I prioritize alleviating this stress and reducing the length of their stay by providing comprehensive training to staff and volunteers. Training covers various aspects, including housing, enrichment, low-stress handling, and clicker training.
For cats that exhibit unwanted behaviors, making them less attractive to potential adopters, I offer evaluations and behavior modification services. With our clicker training and behavior modification techniques, I aim to increase their chances of finding loving homes.
