Introducing Feline Right At Home, a FREE behaviour modification online training program for shelter staff and volunteers to help cats become more adoptable.
Our Vision
To make every scared, shutdown, and defensive shelter cat feel trusting, comfortable, and Right At Home with human interaction.
BECAUSE
Every shelter cat deserves
A LOVING FAMILY, A HOME.
Proven Methodology
I have spent decades seeing cats suffer in shelters and dedicated my non-profit, Cat Behavior Solutions, to keeping cats in their homes, and working with the cats that find themselves in the shelter system.
I’ve developed and used proven behavior modification methods over the years to help cats understand we can be trusted. I’ve crafted a system that allows you to create an individualized plan for a cat based upon its stress level and reactions. Often, we will see a transformation within just a few sessions. Having a “knock-your-socks-off” behavior reinforcer is key to getting a cat brave enough to step out of their discomfort zone and take a chance on you.
I found the Vitakraft Lick ‘n Lap treats years ago and began using them in my work because about 98% of cats love it! Together, we’ve created the Feline Right At Home program to help you duplicate this success in your shelter. I hope you choose to sign up today – and I look forward to mentoring you personally throughout the process.

What others are saying...
"Molly, I have thoroughly enjoyed this program. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and intuition with us, with me. This program has definitely made me so much more aware of how feline stress demonstrates itself, and how to approach it in a methodological way. I love the structured set of tools I have obtained during the program. I also appreciated the videos of actual cats; concrete real life examples make it all come alive so well, gives relatable situations. I have been working with cats at Operation Kindness even during my time completing the program, but now I definitely have more confidence and a more analytical approach when helping the shelter cats. I can also look back and realize the mistakes I have made so far, and learn from them. Thank you again, cannot wait to put this all in practice. I am also glad to be part of the FB group as well as the weekly meetings so that I can continue learning and developing my skills with you and the FR@H community!"

About the Program
Cats are highly territorial creatures, and when faced with a novel environment, strange smells, loud noises, and all the things that come along with a shelter, they often regress into defensive aggression.
WITH PURPOSEFUL INTERACTION, THIS CAN BE CHANGED!
This program provides valuable behaviour modification tools staff and volunteers use to help cats Feel Right At Home during their stay with you.
This online training course allows your team to learn at their own pace. Your Team Leader will complete an up-front course to guide them in setting up the program in the shelter.
