For Cat Owners
For Shelters
Living with a cat can be one of the most rewarding relationships in your life. It can also be one of the most challenging when your cat's actions are offensive to you. No one likes it when their cat pees outside the litter box or starts to use the new sofa as a scratching post.
​
This site is full of educational information and suggestions designed to help you understand why cats do what they do and solutions for modifying behaviors.
Take a browse through the Cat Talk Radio podcasts (there are over 275 of them), our blog page, check out the behavior products we carry, and follow us on Facebook for cat behavior information.
​
If you have exhausted our library of information, and implemented the suggestions given, and are still having issues with your cat, a one-on-one behavior consultation with a cat behavior expert could be your next step.
​
A Cat Behavior Specialist helps to diagnose what might be causing your cat to behave the way it does and help modify that behavior with a treatment plan. A treatment plan might involve you modifying the environment, changing nutritional intake, learning new ways to interact with your cat and more.
​
Consultations with Molly DeVoss are typically are done virtually thru Zoom. The donation fee for a behavior consultation with Molly is $300 for the entire case. There are no sales taxes applied to consult fee because Cat Behavior Solutions is a non-profit, and a donation receipt for your itemized income tax return is downloadable when you make payment. The case includes the video call, which generally takes over an hour, however, there is no limit to the length of time spent on the call. Generally, you will have back and forth email follow ups, and/or additional zoom meetings with Molly in the weeks after the initial call – which is all included in the case.
​
On-site behavior consultation fees are quoted based upon location and Molly's availability. If you would like to consider having her come to your location email her for more information.
​
If you would like to schedule a virtual behavior consultation, please click here to make a $300 consultation fee payment, which is due prior to the consultation time. After the payment is made, Molly will reach out to you directly to schedule a day and time that works for both of you. You will receive a link to an Initial Consultation Form in the confirmation email; please be sure to fill that out as quickly as possible so she has the information about your case up front.

If you cannot afford the consultation fee, you might qualify for a grant generously donated by Vitakraft - the makers of the yummiest cat treats.

Shelters can be overwhelming, even for a cat who was confident in their home environment. Their routines have changed, everything smells different, other cats are threatening, and they've been stripped of having choices and control. Often these cats become fractious or depressed, making them overlooked.
​
In high volume shelters, where space is limited, length of stay is shorter, and no cat behavior staff to work with them, often there is no choice but to humanely euthanize them before they become ill due to the increased stress.
​
Molly works with shelters to implement cat enrichment, educating staff and volunteers of cats' needs, and training how to help cats gain their confidence back.
