What cat parents are saying

Jennifer C.

"I was skeptical at the mention of reaching out to a cat behaviorist for the issues that were occurring with my 4 year old cat. She had taken to intermittently urinating outside the litter box and showing aggression to the 2 new kittens in our house. I tried all the tricks I knew to try and get her back on track, but nothing was working.

My vet advised that I reach out to My Family Cat. I'm so happy that I did. Dr. Liu was thorough and thoughtful in her recommendations after meeting my crew. I'm a life-long cat person, and I learned so much from Dr. Liu. The issues have resolved after following the recommendations from Dr. Liu. I highly recommend My Family Cat as a partner in improving and/or resolving any cat-related behavior issues!”

"When we first met Dr. Liu, we had been trying and failing to integrate our resident 8 year old cat Tomo with our rescued-from-a-family-member 2 year old cat Khaleesi...

Dr. Liu worked methodically and patiently with us, doing a comprehensive assessment of each cat and working with us to come up with plans that helped both cats acclimate while allowing us full use of our house...

Dr. Liu has our ringing endorsement and our eternal gratitude!"

What cat parents are saying

  • Christine M. — My Family Cat client review

    "Dr. Liu really took time to understand my concerns and questions...It was great to have someone with her level of expertise in our home to assess things and give advice. After the visit she wrote a thorough behavior plan for us. I love that she includes email support for a period after the visit. In addition to our behavior plan, she has given us tons of educational resources and recommendations to have a good start together. Having her help has been 1,000% worth the investment!"

  • Nicole N. — My Family Cat client review

    "After I had a stressful move, prolonged house renovation, unexpected injury, and job changes, my two cats were anxious and acting out. Dr. Liu helped with a thorough and friendly housecall, great advice and resources, and training (for the cats, but mostly for me!) We have started a successful medication routine and have created a better, more supportive and consistent environment for the kitties. We are all doing so much better! I really recommend her and the services she provides. You can really tell that she loves to help both cats and people thrive."

  • Brianna P. — My Family Cat client review

    “Dr. Liu (the doctor for My Family Cat) worked with my fiancé and I on integrating 2 new kittens (sisters) with our older cat...she is professional, knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, understanding, supportive, and communicative! I highly recommend if you are looking for a behaviorist."

  • Kippi G. — My Family Cat client review

    “Working with Dr. Liu has been a great experience. She is so knowledgeable, personable and a wonderful listener and communicator. The in-person consultation was eye-opening for us and her suggestions allowed us to walk away with some clear action items and ideas we could implement immediately. Because of her guidance, I'm happy to say my cats (and my family) are living better together and thriving!”

    "Dr. Liu couldn't have been a better choice to help us with our cats. Receptive, available, knowledgeable, and thorough, she was a great person to work with. We worked with her on our inter-cat conflict and saw an immense amount of improvement over the course of working with her."
