In order to alleviate stresses that can negatively impact a cat’s behaviour, we recommend these items to help.

Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone used by cats to mark their territory as safe and secure. It comes in both a spray and a diffuser (like a Glade Plug-In). We recommend both. One diffuser covers 500 sq. ft. and lasts a month. And the spray is good to use in a carrier before trips to the vet or in areas where interactions may occur. Both can be found in most pet stores or online. Very safe, very effective.
