This includes litter box challenges, scratching furniture, spraying and more. Our curriculum also focuses on socialization, how to properly raise kittens and ways in which problem behaviours can be prevented from developing in the first place. All of this is designed to assist you in becoming a force for good in the lives of felines, which will help cats find and stay in forever homes.
