The Helpline Saving Cats From Surrender

Families often feel overwhelmed when their cats develop behavior issues—and many consider surrendering them. In this conversation, Dixie sits down with Matt Wildman of the National Cat Behavior Helpline to explore how his team helps keep cats in their homes through free, phone‑based behavior counseling. From litter box mysteries to inter‑cat conflict, stress‑related behaviors, and the emotional side of supporting desperate owners, Matt shares the stories, strategies, and hope behind the hotline’s growing impact.Listeners will learn why behavior issues are solvable more often than people think, how shelters can use the helpline as a resource, and what really happens on the other end of the call.🔗 Learn MoreNational Cat Behavior Helpline [email protected] Behavior Counseling Course : https://humanepro.org/training-education/online-courses/cat-behavior-counselingGuide to Cat Behavior Counseling : https://humanepro.org/magazine/guides/guide-cat-behavior-counselingAbout Animal Posse 🐈Welcome to Animal Posse!
