Our Behavioural Approach

Our approach centers around building a strong bond of trust between the cat and the caregiver. We focus on cats, whose trust of humans has been broken before.

We appreciate each cat in their uniqueness and individuality and always formulate a behavior modification approach that is tailored to each special cat-caregiver situation.

We work absolutely force-free and do not ever use any form of negative reinforcement.

We take into account the environmental and care needs of cats in general and each individual cat, integrate non-verbal ways of communication based on feline body language and incorporate the sound of the human voice in direct and indirect interaction.

Our approach is based on a stable foundation of reliability, predictability, understanding, patience and confidence and we provide this throughout our work with the cats.

We develop and work with methods that offer the cat a range of behavioural choices which are less stressful and damaging to all involved than the ones they have been displaying. Our work with our cats means creating a work environment that is safe for them to gradually let their guard down, that encourages them to make different choices and provides a positive experience.

We keep up-to-date with the latest research and findings and incorporate new knowledge and valuations into the work with our cats.
