Cats are creatures of habit so when you notice a change in behavior it might be a red flag that something is wrong. The earlier the cause is identified, the greater the chance of success. Early intervention may mean the difference between a happy, healthy relationship with your cat and strained, deteriorating coexistence.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Because many behavior problems may have an underlying medical cause, your cat must have an examination by the veterinarian before scheduling a consultation. Cat Behavior Associates does not dispense medical advice.

Consultations are conducted on an in-home basis in the Nashville, TN area. Before an appointment can be scheduled, the cat must first be seen by your veterinarian for the specific behavior complaint so underlying medical possibilities can be ruled out. All veterinary exams must have taken place within two weeks prior to scheduling a behavior appointment. If you are scheduling a preventive consultation then a veterinarian exam is not required.

Consultations are scheduled Monday - Friday during normal business hours. Weekend appointments are available on a very limited basis. A consultation typically lasts 60-90-minutes. Consultations that exceed 90-minutes are charged an additional fee per half-hour. Fees are due at the time of the consultation. In-home consultations fees are payable by check, money order or cash. Credit card payments are accepted through PayPal if paid in advance of consultation. Contact our office for specific fee information. The fee for a 60-90 minute consultation is $300. Consultations that exceed 90 minutes are charged $25 per half-hour. A transportation fee of $1 per mile is charged for house call consultations beyond 40 miles of our office.

Upon scheduling an in-home consultation, a behavioral history questionnaire will be emailed to you. This form should be either emailed, mailed or faxed back and received at our office at least 24 hours before your appointment. At the end of your consultation you will be given an in-depth behavior modification intervention plan, along with any follow-up instructions. Follow-up phone calls and/or emails are included in the original consultation fee for four weeks following the house call.

Clients needing further communication beyond the 4-week period will be charged an additional fee of $145 for a follow-up telephone consultation. The fee must be prepaid. Clients may send a check or pay through PayPal. Follow-up in-home consultations are also available at a reduced fee of $245. Please give 24-hour notice for non-emergency in-home appointment cancellations. There are no refunds for missed follow-up telephone consultations without 24 hour notice. NOTE: Before purchasing an in-home consultation, you must email our office at info@catbehaviorassociates.co  for a pre-consultation interview and check for schedule availability.
