Kelsey MacNeil is developing this Keeping Pets and People Together Program and as well as providing behavioral support to the PGHS community.Kelsey is a Certified Feline Behavior Consultant and Registered Veterinary Technologist.

After working in veterinary medicine, she found that cats and their behavior are rarely understood by those who love them. This lack of understanding leads to the breakdown of the human-animal bond, frustration and often leads to the surrender of much loved pets.Kelsey plans to share her knowledge of feline behaviour to help owners and their cats develop strong, compassionate bonds. By understanding the motivations behind a cat's behaviour we can solve the problems many owners face and struggle to deal with. From managing inappropriate urination to anxiety, Kelsey can provide advice to our adopters and fosters. She is also very comfortable with dog behavior and training, using positive reinforcement and science-based methods. She will be able to assist our patrons with socialization, training and managing problem behaviors.
