Allison Helps Cats

Welcome to Allison Helps Cats! I’m Allison!

In 2006, a cat showed up on my doorstep and changed my life. Because of her, I began to focus my volunteer work on cats through trap-neuter-return and shelter work.

Then in 2015, I started to blog for our local spay/neuter group, Lincoln Animal Ambassadors. In doing so, I learned that behavior is one of the top reasons animals are surrendered to shelters. This led to my decision to study to become a certified cat behavior consultant.

Along the way, our family’s cats have taught me firsthand about introductions and reintroductions, litter box issues, non-recognition aggression, and anxiety. I’ve learned from them the benefits of individualized enrichment, training, and cooperative care. In addition, my husband and I have also fostered dozens of cats and kittens.

In shelters, I’ve worked with misunderstood cats, helping scared ones gain confidence and overstimulated cats thrive through play. This led me to develop a cat enrichment program, behavior program, and post adoption support call program for our local humane society.

Now I’m taking a step back to focus on providing education. To learn more about cat behavior, visit my resources and follow me on social media.

I’m also helping cat owners in my own community of Lincoln, Nebraska, as well as those anywhere whose homes have been impacted by non-recognition aggression. My support will mostly be through an initial call, follow-up emails or texts, and an in-person visit if the situation warrants.
