“With over 40 years’ experience and thousands of successes, I love my work, and love to continually learn about — and from — these cats.“
Jane Ehrlich is a professionally-trained cat behaviorist who understands and works with cats’ psychology and personalities.
It’s extremely important to me to uphold the strictest ethical and professional standards. No honorable behaviorist would guarantee results; each cat, each case is individual, and client commitment is crucial. The stronger the commitment by both professional and client, the better the outcome!

Because of COVID concerns, while I continue to do home visits if you’re vaccinated (as I am), we can have phone consults if you prefer. By video conference, (FaceTime, Skype, Messenger, Zoom), we’ll discuss the problems, and you can show your cat’s behavior live or via video/phone photos.
