Cat Wellbeing & Training in East London
You want the best for your cat. I’m here to help with wellbeing advice, setting up and skills so you can enjoy a happy life together.
Here to support you.
You have a new kitten or adult cat coming home, or they've just arrived, and you want to get off to the best start?
Maybe you want to learn how to add more cat happiness at home for your best life with your cat?
Sometimes it's not easy to tell how your cat is feeling. You want to make sure you’re doing all you can.
Perhaps you have a new member of the family arriving, or you've got a new cat flap and want some help on how to introduce it?
The goal is to help your cat adapt, preventing problems before they start.
My cat wellbeing package is about helping you set up well, so your cat can have a more settled and contented life at home, and advice for how to guide and interact with your companion so you can both enjoy more happiness.

“Practical guidance that helped us make great progress”
Stephanie’s advice was incredibly helpful when we introduced our new Chihuahua puppy to our cat. She gave us really practical guidance that helped us make great progress from the very beginning and made the whole introduction feel much less daunting. Her advice has really paid off, and we now have a happy home with everyone getting along so well together. We’re very grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her!

FAQs
-
Yes, kittens and cats of all ages. While kittenhood is a great place to start building a sense of safety and a good relationship, cat friendly home set ups and helpful interactions can make a positive difference at any age.
-
It depends on your cat! Sometimes it can be more comfortable for your cat for us to have the session with just one family member. On the other hand, it will be important for everyone in the family to follow our plan in the same way for consistency. Predictability is very important for our cat companions.
-
While I cannot guarantee specific results, my cat coaching sessions are designed to help you make great progress.
A key principle in all training is breaking up challenges into small steps. I’ll give you the support and guidance you need, to help you and your cat succeed.
-
Our in-person session will involve me coaching you on ways to create a happy home for your cat, optimising their daily lifestyle and training new skills or new ways to interact. A key focus will be on encouraging, recognising and rewarding behaviours that you and your cat enjoy.
-
Wellness and training elements included in this session are aimed at preventing unwanted behaviour, optimising your cat’s environment and teaching new skills. For cats already showing any specific behaviour issues, please see my Behaviour Support package.
-
I can show you how to train ‘opt-in’ behaviours related to caring for your cat, and other behaviours to help them cope ahead of life's challenges, as well as simple tricks for you and your cat to enjoy together. If you have more complex training goals, and I’ll let you know whether I can help, or I’ll be happy to refer you to another colleague.
-
Patience is essential. Each cat is unique, so the number of short sessions your cat will need to reach a particular skill level will depend on quite a few factors. These include your cat’s health and motivation and how complex the new behaviour is (and previous experiences).
If you need extra support, follow-on coaching sessions are available. Please get in touch to discuss your specific goals and how I can help you and your cat achieve them
