Greetings!


 

I just returned from the Illinois Veterinary Medical Association Convention in Peoria.  There was a lot of information about how cats are not getting the care they need because it is so upsetting for them to come to the veterinarian.  I had a great opportunity at the Butler booth  to make a short presentation  making  exams rewarding and less stressful.  I hope many of the veterinarians and technicians are using these techniques to change the cat's experience at the veterinary clinic.  Read the articles below to help your cat. 

I have some other great news - I am a Certified Feline Behavior Consultant - International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants!   So if you or your friends are having kitty troubles, contact me at [email protected]

 

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Sally J. Foote
