Service Options

Constant fighting and tension. Closed doors and baby gates everywhere. Cats who used to be best friends are now mortal enemies. Our Inter-Cat Aggression subscription is our most-requested service, and the one we’re most specialized in.

Because inter-cat aggression takes sustained effort to resolve, we handle it differently from our other services: ongoing monthly support with real accountability and a plan built around your specific cats. In many cases, improving your cats’ relationship can take 6 to 12 months or more, especially when the aggression has been ongoing.

What’s included each month:

  • Bi-weekly 30-minute check-in sessions via Zoom
  • Access to a private support group via WhatsApp
  • Monthly group support sessions with other inter-cat aggression clients
  • Weekly drop-in office hours

How it works:

  1. Step 1: 90-minute evaluation appointment (virtual or in-home) to gather information to create a customized plan  — $275
  2. Step 2: Month-to-month subscription for ongoing support — $200/month (cancel anytime)

Due to the high level of support and ongoing plan adjustments, subscription spots are limited and fill quickly. If you’re dealing with inter-cat aggression, don’t wait to sign up when spots are available. You may be placed on a wait list if spots are not currently available.

What we treat:

  • New cat introductions gone wrong
  • Cats that were previously bonded and are now fighting
  • Ongoing territorial aggression in multi-cat households
  • Redirected aggression (one cat triggers another)
  • Resource guarding between cats

“I contacted Laura while in the midst of a tense introduction of a new cat. After about 3 months of tweaking routines and finding what works for everyone, we’re in a really good spot. They have their moments but by and large, everyone is respectful of one another.”
