About Mary

Mary Stevens
Mary Stevens is a dedicated feline behavior consultant with a passion for improving the lives of cats and their owners. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Villa Julie College and nearly two decades of experience as a veterinary technician, Mary’s journey into feline behavior began in 2022. Witnessing countless cats face challenges due to misunderstood behaviors, Mary was inspired to bridge the gap between cats and their caregivers by fostering stronger bonds through education and understanding.
In November 2022, Mary completed the Cat Trainer Program through Animal Behavior College. Eager to deepen her expertise, she connected with renowned feline behaviorist Laura and joined Pawsitive Vibes Cat Training and Behavior in January 2023 as a mentee. Over the next year, Mary immersed herself in learning and observation, eventually earning the opportunity to apprentice under Laura’s guidance.
Mary has since achieved certifications as an FelineVMA Certified Cat Friendly Professional and a Fear Free Veterinary Professional. She is also a proud member of the Pet Professional Guild, where she serves on the Feline Division Committee, advocating for positive, science-based approaches to feline behavior.
Through ongoing education, both under Laura’s mentorship and independently, Mary has expanded her skills to help clients address minor behavioral challenges via her Minis With Mary sessions. Her unique combination of veterinary experience and specialized feline behavior training allows her to provide compassionate, effective support to cats and their caretakers.
Mary’s ultimate goal is to help save cats by addressing behavioral misunderstandings and fostering stronger, more fulfilling relationships between cats and their humans.
