Ingrid Johnson, our resident Certified Cat Behavior Consultant through the IAABC (www.IAABC.org), conducts behavior AND medicating consultations worldwide. All consultations include one month of follow up support via phone or email. Behavior consults are generally done via phone as the home video tour required allows a home environment assessment. Medicating consultations are done via Zoom and include live demos with her personal cats. If you are interested in a behavior consult, please fill out the Feline Behavior Questionnaire and then you will be contacted to schedule your consult. You may also email her at Ingrid@fundamentallyfeline.com. Or visit her website at www.fundamentallyfeline.com.
If you need help medicating your cat, please visit the Medicating Consultations page and similarly you will be contacted once all required materials such as medical records are received.
Ingrid's husband also offers Vertical Space Design Consultations for clients looking to give their cat's the "gift of height"!
Does your litter box look like this? Well, it should!! We provide the service of cutting and sanding these large, clear storage containers for a fee of $15.00. Be sure the box you choose is BIG (1.5 times the length of your cat) and has a smooth bottom for effective scooping. Want to cut it yourself? Watch this How-To video!
