"I was at the end of my rope. Make the appointment, you won't regret it!"
I highly recommend Amanda! After dealing with 3 out of 5 cats peeing outside the box for nearly two years due to recurring UTIs, bullying and other behavioral issues, I was at the end of my rope. I thought I had tried everything but after talking with her and making the changes we discussed together, I was able to get down to a 90% reduction in peeing and I'm still making progress. Amanda is very knowledgeable and working with her made me realize how little I knew about cat behavior and language despite working in a shelter and owning cats most of my life. She was also incredibly supportive mentally and emotionally, always there to answer a text or email when I was having a meltdown because I had a setback or was feeling overwhelmed. My cats are happier, my sanity has been restored, and my mudroom doesn't smell like cat pee anymore! Make the appointment, you won't regret it!

"She helped us navigate some intense inter-cat conflict. We are so grateful for her help."
Well I just could not say enough GOOD about Amanda. The amount of love and care she takes with her work made our family - and i'm sure all of her other clients - feel like just that, family. She is clearly extremely knowledgeable and well researched in her field as well as deeply loving and devoted to the work. Amanda has helped us navigate some intense inter-cat conflict and helped provide and teach us the necessary training to reduce unwanted behaviors. She is extremely accessible and always thorough with her responses to help us gain a holistic understanding of what we're doing and why. She is curious, excited, hopeful, gentle with her approach and flexible when the situation calls for it. We are so grateful for her help and would, without hesitation, recommend her to anyone!

"Amanda to the rescue. It took three months, but with Amanda's advice and guidance got things back to normal!"
Four cats: two boys two girls all littermates. Boys start fighting viciously out of the blue. Amanda to the rescue. It took three months, but with Amanda's advice and guidance got things back to normal -- love and kisses, no hisses. It wasn't easy, but Amanda warned us it was going to be work to restore harmony in the house. Her methods worked. I thought I knew a lot about cats -- Amanda knows more and I'm grateful

"After just one visit, Amanda correctly identified the problem and after two months we have achieved freedom! My family is so relieved, and so grateful for Amanda's help."
Amanda is the best. From the moment she arrived at our door, we could tell she was tuned in to our cats. While they usually run and hide, they stayed relaxed and observed her with interest. We were having trouble with one of our cats urinating indoors. We had tried everything we could think of, including many vet visits and tests, and reached out to a behaviorist as a last resort. After just one visit, Amanda correctly diagnosed the problem and gave us a set of actions we could take. Her instructions were easy to implement and easy to understand. After following all of her instructions, our cat slowly stopped urinating indoors, and after two months we have achieved freedom! Our cat is happily using the indoor cat box, and seems happier and healthier than before. My family is so relieved, and so grateful for Amanda's help. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone who is having a seemingly intractable cat behavior challenge.

"I had worked with one other behaviorist in the past and I really have to say that Amanda just blows that one out of the water."
I simply CANNOT recommend Amanda and Frisky Feline enough! I have seven cats and was dealing with a few behavioral issues. Amanda was so kind and thoughtful and really listened to me, crafting really practical and implementable solutions that worked. Her follow up is amazing and she really makes sure that things are going well until we achieved our realistic goals. I have learned so much from her. I had worked with one other behaviorist in the past and I really have to say that Amanda just blows that one out of the water. Do not hesitate if you need help with your cat, this is 100% worth it! Thank you so much Amanda and Frisky Feline!! Me and June and Alfie and Eve really appreciate it!!

"We couldn't have done it without Amanda's help"
Amanda from Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling did a wonderful job helping to bring our two rescue cats, Jax and Luna, together. From the beginning, she demonstrated exceptional expertise and dedication.
Luna had a hard time adjusting to Jax being in the house constantly attacking him, and we were at a loss for how to help them get along. Over the course of 6-7 months, Amanda's expert guidance was invaluable. We learned so many new skills about cat behavior, such as understanding their body language and the reasons behind their reactions.
Amanda requested weekly videos to track their progress and was always prompt and insightful with her feedback through text. Her personable approach made the process enjoyable and stress-free for both us and our cats. She provided practical tips and strategies that were easy to implement, and her encouragement kept us motivated throughout the process.
Thanks to Amanda, Jax and Luna are now getting along better than ever. Their relationship has improved dramatically, and our home is much more peaceful. Luna and Jax can now be in the same room and even sleep in the same bed. We couldn't have done it without Amanda's help. Highly recommend her services to anyone in need of cat behavior counseling!

"Now, I can cuddle both of them at the same time. Amanda was life changing for us. "
After several months together, two of my cats developed a seriously strained relationship that resulted in almost constant fights. They were separated for months when I found Amanda. From the first session, I was so much more optimistic. She broke down everything and explained our plan in detail. It took quite a while to finally introduce them without barriers, but Amanda kept encouraging me every step of the way as it was all boiling down to me being afraid of fights again. They’re still learning each other’s boundaries, but every day I can now cuddle both of them at the same time. Amanda was life changing for us, and I couldn’t have done it without her!

"If you have a fur baby in your family and you have an issue, any issue at all, you’ve found the right person to help."
Phenomenal!! If you have a fur baby in your family and you have an issue, any issue at all, you’ve found the right person to help. Amanda was life changing, not only for my fur baby, but for our entire family. Her expertise, kitty smarts, kindness and compassion helped to correct a feline urination problem that had our family at our wits end. And it literally took just two sessions. We are so lucky to have found FFBC! I don’t know what we would’ve done without this wonderful service. We are all happier for having met and worked with Amanda.

"We look forward to our days of peace and cohabitation. I'd give Amanda 10 stars if I could. "
As an experienced cat owner who rescues mostly seniors, I have years of integrating new cats into our household under my belt. I hit a wall with our most recent addition and nothing out of my bag of tricks would work. Out of desperation and frustration, I reached out to Amanda at Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling. Best decision! She is a caring, skilled professional who takes the time to learn about you, your cats, your home, and zeros in on the issues. Her insights are like gold and her guidance priceless. We have one fear-based aggressive guy who with well-crafted “homework” and exercises is coming around nicely. We look forward to our days of peace and cohabitation! You need to be open to new ideas and putting in the work, but it is 100% worth it. I’d give Amanda 10 stars if I could!
"Amanda was wonderful to work with and incredibly knowledgeable about cats."
Amanda was wonderful to work with and incredibly knowledgeable about cats. Our cats were stuck in a pattern of one bullying and the other constantly stressed out. With Amanda's guidance, tensions are much lower and they have even started playing with each other on occasion!
-Julia P
"We had been struggling to introduce our cats for 9 months, now they've coexisted for 2 weeks! She is not just an expert, she truly understand cats!"
Amanda was absolutely amazing! We met with her via virtual appointments, and she was extremely thorough. We had been struggling to introduce our two cats, Leo (m, 4) and Boo (f, 1) for about 9 months when we first met with her. I was anxious about Leo chasing and tackling Boo every time the two of them interacted, and I was worried Leo was trying to hurt her. We took videos for Amanda to watch and she told us it looked like they were actually playing, though they were being rough, and needed more time to figure out how to communicate. I'll admit, I was still a little skeptical but after lots of struggling (us), set backs (cats), and Facebook messages, Leo and Boo have been coexisting together for 2 weeks! (It's a big deal to us.) And I've learned that Boo isn't really hurt, she's just dramatic. We're so much happier, and we can tell our cats are too. Absolutely recommend, she is not just an expert, she truly understands cats and works with the owners. THANK YOU AMANDA❤️❤️

"After feeling hopeless for almost a year, she’s finally giving us hope for a peaceful household."
We are currently working with our one young female cat who had been attacking our senior cat after joining households and Amanda has been wonderful to work with. After feeling hopeless for almost a year, she’s finally giving us hope for a peaceful household. Being able to do sessions via zoom has been so helpful as well since there aren’t a lot of behaviorists near us. She has lots of experience and tricks to work with each pet’s situation, and has been honest and transparent through the whole situation. We are so grateful for her time, effort, and expertise. Would highly recommend for anyone having issues with their cat(s).

"I was at the end of my rope. A few changes have made all the difference,
I am so much happier and so is my cat."
I recently adopted an older Bengal cat and was having issues with her peeing randomly about the house-Took her to the vet and everything was good. They told me it was a behavioral issue. I Was honestly at the end of my rope dealing with this and then I contacted Amanda - rescheduled a visit - she assessed my cats behavior and spoke to me in depth to gain knowledge And full understanding of the issues we were having . I was very impressed with her knowledge and she recommended a few changes which have made all the difference! I didn’t realize how much was involved in assessing a cat with issues- But she broke everything down very easily and I am so much more happier and so is my cat- I would highly recommend her If you’re having issues with your feline and feel like giving up!
-Karen B
"I will finally get peace in my home.."
I can’t ever say enough of what a positive experience I have had with Amanda! I am in a difficult situation with 4 cats. 3 have been separated for 2 1/2 years and I was working with her for the last year. Sadly we figured out a cat we were feeding outside was indeed left behind. I got him fixed and a home but he wasn’t happy as he chose us. We got a call in together and I knew how to do this the right way this time. Happy to say yesterday we got him and one of my “crazy” cats together for almost 2 hours! I feel like with her help I will finally get peace in my home with all 4! So very thankful for her and her knowledge!

"Thank you Amanda, you have truly changed our lives."
Amanda is absolutely gifted at helping felines and their human counterparts. I have 2 formerly feral felines and Aubrey the eldest was especially fearful so much so that she only stayed upstairs for years after V (the young one) came to live with us. With Amanda's recommendations and home visits, Aubrey has gained so much confidence she now goes all over the house, plays with wand toys, visits with people that come over and even sits on me which she had never done before. We are also working on carrier training (which aubrey is greatly enjoying, she is very food driven) so I can get her to the vet to receive routine care as getting her in the carrier has proved to be a nearly impossible task. I have been a veterinary professional for nearly 19 years and Amanda has helped us in ways i didn't think were possible. If any of your felines are exhibiting behavioral issues contact Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Amanda for all that you've done for me and my girls. You have truly changed our lives.

"She helped our Bean tirelessly, Without the guidance we wouldn't have made it. "
Amanda is the person you want on your side with any pet issues! She will put your mind at ease, even as you work together to figure out any issue with your furry friends. She is knowledgeable, caring, dedicated, easy to access and incredibly flexible. A true delight to work with after years of not so nice vet visits. She helped our cat, Bean, tirelessly. We ended up realizing it was also medical, but without the guidance and support from Amanda during a very very taxing few years with our cat issues, my husband and I wouldn't have made it. She's the best!
-Cassandra C
"Amanda is extremely knowledgeable,
professional and cares about helping you and your cats!"
Do not hesitate to book an appointment!! Amanda is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also very clearly cares about helping you, your cat(s), and your relationship with your cat(s). She is generous with her extensive expertise while also remaining realistic and considerate to find long-term, sustainable solutions that fit your lifestyle. You will learn so much and also feel actively supported throughout the process! I recommend Frisky Feline services with zero hesitation!
-Annie S
"Working with Amanda has been a fabulous experience."
Working with Amanda has been a fabulous experience. I have two male cats who got along well for years and then randomly couldn't be in the same room together without getting into a fight. I felt lost and frankly completely distressed. I didn't know much about cats and behavior, so I wasn't sure what to do. Luckily I found Amanda on Facebook and thank god! She met with me and formed a plan of action right away. Her plan was clear and easy to follow. She was readily available via text to answer questions, analyze videos, and offer encouragement. I never felt rushed or alone in the process - because change for cats does not happen overnight! In the last 6 months my cats have gone from angry and growling/hissing at one another to now where we've begun supervised short sessions without any gates. It's been a long road, and while we still have a bit more to do, I am confident the boys will be getting along as before soon and that's due to Amanda's expertise, patience, and guidance. I am glad to know her and highly recommend her services!

" I am thrilled to say this works!"
Our session was extremely helpful, my kitten was reaping havoc all over my house and I needed help! From turning on the faucets and flooding my kitchen, to trash diving, tv climbing, and biting, nothing was outside my kittens scope of adventure. I felt helpless so I enlisted frisky feline behavior counseling. Amanda was incredible informative and showed me several tips to assist in redirecting the food motivated and naughty behavior my kitten displayed.... I would just like to say the amount of information and detail provided is beyond what I could have expected. I am thrilled to say that this works!

" She was the best and I could not possibly recommend her more."
I have two adult cats who are from the same litter, I rescued them when they were 3 months old. About 2 years ago, we started having issues with one of my boys peeing outside of the litter box, on the same guest bed or in the bathroom. It would come and go in waves. We ruled out any medical issues, made some environment changes my vet had recommended and even started him on medication. Something needed to change so I found Amanda through a Google Search. I set up a free 10 min consultation and the rest was history. I cannot recommend Amanda and Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling enough! I have already called my vet and told them about her services for any other clients who may benefit.
She was so encouraging and thorough and really took the time to listen to my needs/concerns. After sending her countless videos and pictures, she gave me some recommendations along with thorough explanations of why he was acting the way he was. After immediate implementation, my cat stopped peeing outside the box. She had warned me this may take some time but to both of our surprise, results were instant. He is even now off medication and like a whole new relaxed cat! He has one accident since meeting with Amanda and we are now going on 3 months!!
She is a wonderful person who cares about your kitties and wants what's best for you and them! If you hare having any hesitation about booking with her......let that go! She is the best and I could not possibly recommend her more!

"She truly knows her stuff and I am so glad we found her"
We recently got a new kitten, so our 10 month old kitten would have a playmate.
Our 10 month old cat, Liam seems to like her, but would play very aggressive with her. My husband and I were concerned, but Amanda reassured us and gave us great tools to use in keeping down the aggressive play. She's been so kind and helpful letting us call her for advice. She truly put our minds at ease.
Unfortunately, we lost our older cat Chloe 2 months ago. We were going to have Amanda here to help with the transition because she disliked Liam alot, but we found out she was sick, so we never got to meet her, but she made herself available to us with our concerns about the new kitten. She truly knows her stuff and I'm so glad we found her.

"It was magic watching Amanda teach me how to train my cats to calm down."
I have had such a great experience with Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling! Amanda is such a joy to work with! She has helped me pick out the right cat toys to entice and tire out my energetic Nova & Alfredo, provided guidance for better cat-ifying my home, and taught me how to train my cats to improve their behavior. We are now working on preventing counter surfing and better satisfying their constant hunger so they stop seeking out food on the counter. It was absolute magic watching Amanda show me how to train my cats to calm down and stop meowing while waiting to be fed. I am so excited to see how their behavior improves over the next few weeks. Thanks so much Amanda!
-Carolyn
You'll be amazed at all the tips and knowledge you'll get.."
Amanda is a gifted, talented and very knowledgable advisor for cats and their companions. We worked with her on an eating problem. She figured out it was a tooth ache! She also helped us understand how to better communicate (2 cats, one me). We are happier, healthier and having more fun because of our work with Amanda. If you have cats, you'll be AMAZED at all the great tips and knowledge you'll get from Amanda. She is a gem! <3
-Lori H
" We were able to resolve things quickly and learned a lot too! "
Amanda was great and quickly helped us understand our cats’ behaviors (we have 3) . We were able to resolve them quickly and learned a lot, too! We will definitely call Frisky Feline again if any issues come up!
-Tracy B
"Her thoroughness and availability is truly remarkable and we are so grateful to have worked with her."
Amanda gave us the skills, confidence, and support to make our cats’ introduction turn 180 degrees for the better. If you are someone who is struggling to introduce cats that may be uncomfortable with each other, Amanda is the perfect fit. She provides support with thorough analysis and breakdowns of your cats’ behavior, video examples, email and text support, and guides on how to make things go smoothly. We worked with her remotely over zoom, and I don’t think we sacrificed anything in terms of the quality of the instruction and care we received. Her thoroughness and availability is truly remarkable and we are so grateful to have worked with her.

"Working with Amanda has transformed our rescue..."
Working with Amanda has transformed our rescue cat from a multiple-day accidents around the house and scared of everyone and everything, to a playful, litter box using, more confident and playful cat. I cannot recommend working with Amanda enough! Her expertise and guidance was invaluable as we worked for over a year to rehab a cat that most would see as a lost cause, to a trusting cat who is now thriving! She has also helped us with transitions and obstacles with our other two cats in our home, which with a multi-cat household, can be tricky. She is such a wealth of knowledge to make day to day life enjoyable for the cats and the humans in the house!
-Sarah Z
"Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!
Our cat Maple was over grooming herself and had failed several anti anxiety meds and diets suggested by the vet. That’s when I found Amanda. She helped establish a detailed timeline of major changes in Maple’s life including moving houses, the birth of my sons, and job changes. With her expertise we were able to pinpoint a tipping point (when my second son learned to walk) that becoming the “4th child” became too much for her and she started over grooming as a stress response. Amanda gave us resources to teach the kids about feline body language so they would know when Maple did not want to be pet. She also encouraged me to involve the kids in her behavior plan. . About two months into incorporating these and several other recs from Amanda, Maple is so much more relaxed and content and her fur is starting to grow back! Amanda was so easy to work with and her expertise has made such a difference in just one visit! Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!!
-Lindsey L
"Amanda has changed mine and my cat's life!"
Amanda has changed mine and my cat's life! We started seeing her after years of my cat peeing outside of the litterbox several times a day. I thought I tried everything but Amanda had suggestions that I had never heard before! Even during a move we kept working together and I am excited to say we have had no issues in over a month. Every meeting I had with Amanda she would remember everything we spoke about last meeting as if we didn't have 4 -8 weeks before meetings. I am so thankful we found her!
-Victoria L.
"I truly believe we would not have gotten to this point without her help."
We contacted Amanda after bringing a new kitten into our home and seeing that our resident cat was having a hard time adjusting. Amanda's process was very thorough and she took the time to learn about our two cats, their past experiences and behaviors, and came to our in-home meeting very prepared! She shared several strategies to improve their relationship which we were able to implement and offered additional ideas depending on the time or financial commitment that we were able to invest. Months later, our two cats are getting along well and seem to both be happy in our home! I truly believe that we would not have gotten to this point without Amanda's help. I'm very glad we reached out to her!
-Marissa H
"Her recommendations have been a great success."
We could not be more thankful for Amanda and Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling. She professional and thorough while showing a true deep passion for what she does. Her assessment of our situation enlightened us on what some of the root causes might be to the issues and her recommendations have been a great success. We could not recommend Amanda and Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling enough!
-Tyler L
"If you are having issues with your kitty, please reach out to Amanda."
My Kitty Hayden was having idiopathic cystitis flares for a little over a year. No underlying cause except for behavior and stress. Amanda was recommended to me by my Pet sitter. She came to our house and immediately pegged Hayden with ‘pride placement’ worries. He did not really know how he fit into the group of my 3 cats and also declares everything as his including me and my husband. With some coaching on playtime, litter box placement, and preventing root cause stress Amanda helped us navigate his reactions to his stress related to ruling and controlling his world. We also had a big snowbird trip driving from CT to FL with the boys and having a new home for 6 months. Amanda coached ME through that prior to the trip and again when he had a flare of cystitis in Florida once we arrived. I am happy to say that by using her advice, Hayden has been flare free since January and even did great on our drive back to CT this past spring! Thanks so much for your help Amanda! If you are having issues with your kitty please reach out to Amanda as it might be as simple as litter box placement or lack of stimulating playtime. She is the best!
-Sherry K
"Amanda was wonderful - absolutely worth the cost!"
Amanda was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We’d been feeling stuck getting our two cats to integrate, and she helped us figure out when we needed to intervene and when we needed to give them space to have a ‘cat conversation’. We asked her to come out after we’d been trying to integrate them for almost six months - we’d made progress but couldn’t leave them together for more than a minute or so. After seeing Amanda, they finished integrating to being out all day together in less than a month! Absolutely well worth the cost.

"This was so worth the time and money we put into it. I could not give a higher recommendation."
After talking to our vet about possible anxiety in one of our three cats, we were encouraged to reach out to a behaviorist before trying meds and thank God we found Amanda. We have three cats, two 2 1/2 year-old sisters and a two-year-old boy. our little boy was having problems with urinating on our bed and we thought we tried everything, nothing had worked, he was also struggling with confidence often being submissive to his sisters. One of our girls also struggles with her weight. When Amanda came for our assessment she made a few suggestions including adding a litter box, moving the litter boxes, and we discussed ways to build confidence. We made almost all of the changes recommended and our little one never had an accident again. During our virtual check-in, we began to discuss feeding and weight loss for one of our girls. Our second home visit changed everything. Amanda helped us create a new feeding routine and we discussed nutritional goals. She also modeled multiple activities and interactions with all three of our cats to further support our little one in building boundaries and confidence. Now they are doing way better than expected with the new eating routine and have become much more respectful of our little boy and he has been so much more confident holding his space. One of our girls even got on the bed when we did treats at night for the first time ever with the others she usually stays on the floor until they are done. Our baby boy has become much more affectionate with me as well which is so nice because he was much closer to my partner before we began working with Amanda. Thank you so much for everything, everyone in our home is happier. We know exactly who to reach out to if we ever need more support in the future. This was so worth the time and money we put into it. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation.
-Tina A.
"Working with Amanda was hands down the best decision I could have made."
Working with Amanda was hands down the best decision I could have made as a cat mom! She listens thoughtfully to identify the root of the problem and truly cares about your cat's progress. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. She provided SO much helpful information; I left each session with pages of notes. She recommended toys/feeders/treats that were specific to my cat's needs. She played back videos of my cat to explain his body language and help me understand him better. I have seen immense progress with my cat; now that I understand him better and have implemented the changes Amanda recommended, he is a much happier, calmer cat. I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful working with Amanda is - I have already scheduled additional sessions to help prepare my cat to transition to a new home this summer. 10/10 recommend Amanda to everyone!!
-Carolyn
" We highly recommend her for anyone struggling with feline issues. "
We have learned so much working with Amanda! Our house is now set up to be more cat friendly, from litter boxes, to cat trees, to toys. We have learned how to play with our cats in a more interesting and enriching way for the cats, and our children even learned some simple cat training tricks! Most importantly, our two rescued cats are now living and interacting more comfortably together and we have dealt with the urine accidents which makes our house more comfortable as well. Amanda is personable, knowledgeable and a great listener, tailoring her recommendations to the cats and the family. We highly recommend her services for anyone struggling with feline issues!
-Sarah W
"Amanda was fantastic."
Amanda was fantastic!! We set up a consult to meet each other first and she let me know her game plan to help! When we had our session she was very thorough in asking questions and trying to get the most info possible to help us come up with a behavior plan for my cat. Although my cat’s problem was medical, Amanda was great in giving me tips & ideas in what I could be doing differently and how to make Babs’ life a little less boring! She provided support and made me feel a lot less alone during this whole process! I definitely plan on using her in the future to help me properly introduce my cats and help me add enrichment to their lives!

"Amanda has been instrumental in helping my kitty adapt to my home."
Amanda has been instrumental in helping my kitty adapt to my home. I took Clarice from a shelter, after she spent 800+ days there, in her cage, afraid of all other animals and humans, apparently, feral. When Amanda and I started discussing setting up her room, Amanda advised me on every piece of Clarice's life -- food, toys, hiding places, the placement of her "real estate", food, and toilet, cat trees, etc. After a second strategic relocation of her furniture, Clarice started making sharp progress upwards, warming up towards the house and me, and she has advanced so well that we both are amazed and thrilled. She has turned from a scared little kitty into a beautiful kitty with shiny eyes who is enjoying her life, and seems relaxed most of the time. Without Amanda, such quick progress would not have happened. We keep communicating as to her continued adjustment, including food, and Amanda is never short of good advise and creative new ideas for Clarice. Many thanks to Amanda!
-Lilia H
"There's no one better out there, I highly recommend Amanda."
Amanda is simply incredible! From the get go, She was able to hone in perfectly on what my 10 yr old kitty needed to improve his behaviors and mood. I was Pleasantly surprised and impressed on just how spot on she was. She is very knowledgeable and thorough while remaining kind and patient with any and all inquiries. You will not find a more capable, helpful and more caring person to help you understand and improve your kittys behaviors. She also offered specific toys, suggestions and availability should more questions and concerns arise. Theres no one better out there...I very highly recommend Amanda...!

"This was a game changer for my cats!"
This was a game changer for my cats. My anxious girl has grown so much more confident and playful with me and her 4 siblings. Amanda provides easy to implement advice and really listens to what you and your cats need. Highly recommend!

"Amanda is absolutely Amazing!"
Amanda is absolutely amazing. I am truly grateful to have found her! She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She helped my cat be more comfortable in main areas of the house, within weeks! Thank you so much, Amanda!!

"Amanda has helped us tremendously.."
We are so grateful for all of the help that we have gotten from Amanda at frisky feline! Our boy Iroh, has had a lot of issues to deal with. He has been pretty timid of loud noises. When he first got to us, he was scared of people, timid, and peed in every corner of the house he could find.
He was peeing on every piece of fabric in the house, peeing on top of laundry piles, and peeing outside of the litter box on top of the mats. We were given a bunch of other helpful tips and exercises to do with him. We did, and he started going inside of the box! We were so proud of him! That’s just one of many pieces of advice we were told to follow, and each suggestion brought us progress with our cat. Pretty soon, he stopped having accidents altogether!
We followed Amanda’s advice as best as we could, and she was so helpful and understanding to our situation! I truly don’t know where we would be without frisky feline. Nothing is perfect, but we are willing to take the long journey because we care about Iroh. He no longer has accidents outside of the litter box. We are still working on his socialization skills, but he has come a long way in every aspect since we have rescued him, and we are so proud of him, and we know that his anxiety is reduced based on the accidents.
He is getting more playful as the days go on, and we hope to bring more of that out of him.
We have two other cats in our house that Amanda has helped us tremendously with, but we wanted to share Iroh’s story because frisky felines has helped us rescue him in so many ways.
Thank you so much, Amanda, we are so grateful for you! 😃❤️

"I highly recommend Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling!"
Amanda was so incredibly helpful to me and my fur babies. She helped me refocus and think outside the box for feasible solutions to help my kitty get back to a place of comfort and safety after bringing home a new dog (which caused for increased anxiety for kitty). She was extremely supportive and helpful, as well as patient and flexible. She took the approach of what WE were comfortable with and what would work for US would be where she would help offer ideas. I often giggled when I said "I hired a cat behaviorist," but I can honestly say we would have been lost (and kitty a whole lot more scared) without her. I highly recommend Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling!!!
-Karly
"I recommend her 100%!"
I was referred to Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling by the rescue group where adopted my kitties from. She did wonderful work with the rescues so I was already impressed!
I was needing help because my big boy Monty was being a really BIG JERK to sweet Fernando who also is loosing his vision.
Thank goodness I called and met with Amanda. She explained so many things about cat behavior that I didn't know (even though I work with animals every day as a pet sitter).
She gave me so many wonderful ideas, toys/interactive tools for them and just things to make their lives better.
Since we have listened to her advice things at home are much better. She is so nice, understanding. has great energy and loves cats!! I recommend her 100%

"Amanda gave us hope and saved our sanity."

Amanda literally saved our sanity and relationship with our new cat. We rescued a 1.5 year old cat with a traumatic history. We knew she was shy, but did not know what to do when she started to hiss and hide from us. Amanda gave us hope and amazing advice for building trust and bonding. It took some time, but we now have a cat that can’t get enough “pets” and we can’t imagine our life without her.

"Amanda did wonders for my two cats."
Amanda did wonders for my two cats! My cats started to not get along after an incident happened when I wasn't home, and now a few months later we have made some serious progress with Amanda's help! Amanda helped by providing me with support, knowledge on cat behavior, training tools, and a comprehensive plan to get my cats back to being in the same room and back to being happy, confident cats. The progress we have made in such a short amount of time is amazing and i can't wait to continue to apply her tools to continue my cats growth together! Much love from Juno and Zara ♥️

"Amazing service that I would recommend to anyone!"
My family got a new cat which in turn caused my current cat to be territorial and swat at her. We were very worried they wouldn’t get along since our first cat was hissing and not happy with the new addition at all. Amanda was very good about calming our anxiety towards the situation and suggesting tactics to warm them up to each other. It took them a few months but Amanda was there to help with any concerns and questions during the transition. They now play together and clean each other all the time. Amazing service that I’d recommend to anyone seeking help for their kitties.

" I would have lost my sanity if not for Amanda."
After my 17-year-old cat passed away I wanted to get another cat for our resident cat “Goldie” who lived with another cat her entire life. A few weeks later, we adopted “Olive” thinking she would be a nice companion for Goldie. Well, that did not turn out too good. Goldie was miserable and immediately acted out growling, hissing and hiding. Olive at times would chase/stalk Goldie. I was at wits end. Our veterinarian suggested reaching out to a cat behaviorist.
It was a very stressful period in my household for several months and Amanda always supported not only my cats, but me! Amanda provided valuable recommendations, tools and priceless tips. When we ran into a wall, Amanda always had another suggestion/recommendation/tool to provide. Amanda encouraged me to send videos of my cats. Most of all, Amanda was always available to support me via text, with never ending patience.
It has taking us over nine months to get to this point. We are so happy!
Goldie is back to her super confident, friendly self. Olive calmed down and is respectful to Goldie – Olive has become even more affectionate. Goldie and Olive are now friends. They kiss each other, play and take naps together and eat their meals together. I would have lost my sanity and Olive if it were not for Amanda! It is without qualification or hesitation that I recommend certified Amanda to anyone who is dealing with cat interaction conflicts.
Thank you, Amanda!

" Thank you so much Amanda."
I was a bit skeptical about hiring someone to help me with my kitten that wandered into my yard last year. She had real behavioral issues. She was biting, scratching and destroying my curtains and furniture. I almost surrendered her to a shelter. I saw a card for Frisky Felines at my veterinarian office. Decided it was worth a try. Amanda came to my home and spent time observing my Daisy. She was full of ideas and suggestions that have made such a positive difference. She came for a follow up visit recently and again spent a great deal of time with Daisy and made further suggestions. I am happy to say that my cat and I are enjoying our new relationship. Thanks so much Amanda!!

" I am so grateful to have found such a brilliant and kind cat expert!"
I think it's safe to say that our cat problems were somewhat extreme. Due to past trauma, Cat 1 was terrified of Cat 2, and when her companion dog passed away it was the final straw - she went on top of the fridge and stayed there for 6 weeks. I had to put a litter box up there, she literally never came down. The rescue I adopted Cat 2 from tried to help but all tricks were exhausted. I was desperate - I'd had 1 since she was 3 weeks old, and 2 had been in 7 foster homes before us, through no fault of her own - rehoming either was out of the question. I stumbled upon FFBC in a google search and the rescue manager attended my first appointment with Amanda, secretly expecting to take 2 away with her to rehome, but instead an important contact was made in the shelter cat world, and my girls were set on a path to a peaceful home. Amanda guided and encouraged me through the process of rebuilding 1s confidence and reintroduction, and month after month baby steps were made, and 1 is now confident enough to nap in a sunny spot on the couch. We're still a work in progress, but we've come so far, and I really believe the girls will be playing together soon. I'm so grateful to have found such a brilliant and kind cat expert.

"Give her a call, trust me you wont regret it."
Amanda was absolutely AWESOME! I cannot express how thankful I am for her support and guidance to try and understand my little guy more.... She is extremely helpful and created a detailed plan for us to follow at home to work with him and lessen his anxiety. Amanda goes above and beyond and is extremely reasonable in cost. It was worth every penny. Oliver has come such a long way in such a short time. I feel much more confident in understanding him on a new level able to give him what he needs specifically instead of a basic understanding of what cats his age would need, etc. Give her a call, trust me you won’t regret it....

"We had wonderful, productive experience with Amanda."
We had a wonderful, productive experience with Amanda. She is very dependable, thorough and knowledgeable. Amanda took the time to listen and understand our issues (mainly one of our cats peeing all over our house). She gave us options and helped find things that would work with our lifestyle. She is also very nonjudgmental if you do things differently or need to tweak her suggestions. I would recommend Amanda to anyone having issues with their cats - she's such a valuable resource.
- Amanda G
"Her dedication and passion shine through her work."
I am not sure where to even begin. This experience has been incredibly enlightening and educational, far beyond what I expected. Amanda's dedication and passion shine through in her work. I have three cats, and one of them sometimes shows aggression towards the others. Amanda went above and beyond, both inside and outside the home, to introduce simple yet powerful changes that have significantly improved their interactions. I wholeheartedly recommend Frisky Feline to anyone who shares their home with a cat. You'll gain a wealth of knowledge you didn't even realize you needed.

"If you are struggling with your cat's behaviors - you should absolutely call."
Amanda was great! She quickly pinpointed the root cause of the “bathroom“ issues our cats were having and provided excellent advice on how to manage and resolve those issues. Amanda then followed up with us diligently over the course of several months to check on the progress and offered advice along the way. If you are struggling with your cats’ behavioral issues, you should absolutely contact Frisky Feline Behaviors!
-Mark
"Amanda is AMAZING! I am so appreciative of her help."
Amanda is AMAZING! My cat was scared of many things that I was blind too because I just innocently didn't know. He ended up getting a urethral blockage from stress. I was at a loss and was so overwhelmed.... Thanks to Amanda, my cat went from never coming out during the day while it was hectic to comfortably sleeping in the living room while my children are in the same room! And just today my youngest was finally able to pet him today for the first time ever without my cat trying to run away from him! I am so thankful and appreciate of all of Amanda's help. Without her I would be lost.

"Amanda has helped us so much!"
Amanda has helped us so much . I adore my cat John but his night time meowing was so bad. He was waking me every 90 min.
I met with Amanda over zoom and he’s so pleasant but also so helpful. Suggestions were doable and helpful.
John and I now sleep peacefully and I am so much happier.
We actually have worked on other behaviors too - which is great - but sleeping again is priceless.
I so recommend Amanda to help with your cat!!!
-April R
"Call, you wont be sorry. And you cats will be so much happier!"
Working with Amanda has been an incredible experience! I've been a cat owner for over 30 years and ran into problem that seemed to be insurmountable and I had completely run out of ideas for. Amanda and I talked and she came up with so many new ideas for us! She has what feels like an endless list of ideas, insights, tips & tricks. She is so compassionate and is an all-around wonderful person.
If you feel you have a problem that will never resolve and you "just have to live with it", give her a call. You won't be sorry and your cats will be so much happier!

"If anyone can help you its Amanda!"
I strongly recommend reaching out to Amanda from Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling for all of your questions and concerns about your furry friends. I have a Bengal cat who has been urinating outside of his litter box for years and I could not get him to stop. Amanda took the time to get to know not only my Bengal cat, but all of the pets in my household and worked with me to pinpoint the root causes of the behavior and ways to get Max to use his box. Amanda was professional and always just a text message away from help and advice. She was extremely patient and understanding with both my pets and myself. With 4 sessions, we have gone from daily urination outside the box to 1 instance in a month and plenty of confidence and assurance that it will stop completely. I cannot recommend Amanda enough! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and always had you and your pets best interest at heart. She truly understands cat behaviors, requirements and litter box habits. If anyone can help you, it’s Amanda!

" We are thrilled with the results! "
I can't say enough good things about Amanda. Her knowledge and guidance is what helped us through what seemed like an impossible situation. Her suggestions made all the difference. We are thrilled with the results! Two very happy cats that we love.
We are so grateful that a friend recommend Amanda. We would highly recommend her!

" I am very happy with working with Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling..."
Wonderful services! Really helped bring my boys around with patience and lots of amazing advice and tips. Never thought my two rescues would be lovers but now they crave attention. Would recommend for so many reasons, not only did we work on their main goals but future goals as well. I'm very happy with working with Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling and how much they've helped my boys go from feral to housecat when we didn't think it would be possible. - Grace
"Amanda is always there to help!"
Our cat was having issues urinating outside the litter box and after many months we decided to get some additional help with his issues. After ensuring medically he was ok, we contacted Amanda. On the very first introductory call she was so helpful. We decided to sign up on her program right away. After the first visit, it was clear that Amanda new her stuff! She was able to give us some advice on what to start doing which started to help our cat. We did have few set backs along the way, but Amanda was always there to help with suggestions. She never gave up! Our cat is doing much better now, with the occasional accident here and there but we couldn't be happier with the help we received. I would highly recommend Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling if you are having any issues with your cat.
-Jenny T
"I have already recommended her to several people."
Amanda was extremely helpful teaching us how to work with (instead of against) our adopted kitten who was a little more feral than we thought. Now that we understand his natural instincts and pick up on his signals we're not getting bit and scratched anymore! I've recommended Amanda to several people for help with their cats!

"I would not hesitate to make an appointment, you wont be disappointed."
Amanda has been a wealth of information, knowledge, and resources. She listened to our concerns, came to the house to observe our 3 feline all-night frat house party machines, and came up with a manageable plan.
I was impressed with her easy to implement suggestions and appreciated that she sent follow up emails with direct links to any products she recommended. She checked in frequently between our session and follow-up appointment and always provided spot-on observations and insight. Additionally, Amanda helped me with a few tricky foster kitten questions I had and was spot on. If you are struggling with any feline behaviors, I would not hesitate to make an appointment. You won't be disappointed.

"Would absolutely recommend to anyone with cat problems!"

Would absolutely recommend to anyone with cat problems!

"Amanda was incredibly helpful..."
I am fostering a special needs kitty and Amanda was incredibly helpful in making suggestions while taking my kitty’s medical needs and abilities into consideration. Great suggestions for products and a very thorough treatment plan. Her efforts will definitely increase Sunny’s chances for a great home!

"A cat's angel on earth..."
Amanda is a cat's angel on earth! I've witnessed cats that where untouchable and completely shut down. With a few sessions with her, she brought them out of their shell to the point that they could be pet for the first time in years. The progression videos she's creates will melt your heart! She is so incredibly passionate about enriching cats lives. I was a veterinary technician for a few years and cant tell you how many times we needed to recommend a behaviorist and couldn't find one in the area. I highly recommend her services.

"Amanda has done wonders!"
Amanda has done wonders with my 'Myrtle', she used to hide when people came over. After spending time with Amanda, Myrtle has no problems coming around when people come over, Its a wonderful thing to see, and I cant say enough wonderful things.
-Karen O
"Couldn't recommend enough!"
So happy to have found Amanda! She is helping me through some biting behavior issues with my cat. She has been very patient throughout the process and flexible in scheduling calls/zooms with me from across the country! Couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone who needs assistance with their cat!

Amanda has been such a great human to work with. I had some redirected aggression and hyperactivity issues with my 6 and 8 year old cats. She talked me through some tips and tricks and recommended amazing toys and ideas for them that I’ve never even thought of! My cats are happier because of her! She was also able to help me relax and stress less in the process. I am so thankful for her and her expertise in cat behavior!

"Spectacular! Really gets why cats do the things they do!"
_edited_edited.jpg)
Amanda is spectacular and absolutely wonderful! She is knowledgeable, patient, kind and caring. She has helped our family so much. She really gets why cats do the things they do, and she was very thoughtful in her planning to solve the behavior issues caused by the introduction of a new cat to our home. We have nearly full resolution of the issues and every day there is more improvement. 11/10, highly recommended!

"Amanda is extremely knowledgeable.."
Amanda is extremely knowledgeable about cat behavior! I have had lots and lots of cats over my lifetime but still could not figure out how to stop my Louie from doing his business where he was not supposed to. Amanda spent so much time learning about Louie and his cat siblings, and giving advice on what we should do. His behavior has improved tremendously with the adjustments that Amanda recommended. We still have work to do with him, but it is so much better and it's great to know we are on the right track!- Emily G.
"You will achieve results, and you cat will thank you!"
If you are having problems with your kitties I highly recommend Frisky Feline!
I had done a ton of research to try to solve the problems myself. While I learned a lot from my own research, it wasn’t enough and I wish I had just started with Frisky Feline. In the time I spent trying to solve the issues myself the problems only got worse. Amanda listened to my situation, asked a lot of questions and very thoroughly explained what she was seeing and explained ways to quickly begin to resolve some of the tensions in my household. I honestly had thought that I exhausted all possible solutions but I learned more from Amanda than I had on my own and within a few weeks began to see improvement. Please don’t wait until things get worse. Reach out to Frisky Feline and you will achieve results! Your cats will thank you!!
- Karin
"Would recommend to anyone!"
I have been having issues with my 9 year old cat since the day I got him at 9 weeks old. I reached out to Amanda as a last hope to try and fix the situation. I am happy to report that with the helpful tips and suggestions my kitty situation is so much better!!! He’s not the perfect house guest just yet, but he has made some tremendous strides in the few months I have been working with Amanda. She truly cares and is so knowledgeable. She even took an interest in my other cat even though he doesn’t have any major issues to deal with. I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking to help their cat live a happier life.
- Nicole P
"Amazing and really knows her stuff!"
Amanda is amazing and she really knows her stuff! We made great strides with our girls while working with her, and I would recommend her to any cat parents out there! She is patient, kind, and truly cares about her clients and their pets. Thanks Amanda!

"Our experience far exceeded our expectations..."
We contacted Amanda with Frisky Feline Behavior Counseling when we started to see issues with integrating our two new kittens, Simba and Noah with our senior resident cat, Coco. Amanda was able to share new and helpful information that allowed us to understand the cats from the feline's perspective. Through it all, Amanda was caring, supportive and reassuring.... Our experience with Amanda, far exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend her services. We are now able to move forward with a lot more confidence knowing we have a caring and knowledgeable individual to help navigate and support us through this process.

We are so very grateful to have found her and to have access to her incredible talents. It has been beyond helpful to partner with Amanda to really address the issues that were overwhelming us, and we are so thankful for her services.
