Stephen Quandt | Fear Free Certified Cat Behaviorist - Nationwide

I found Stephen 3 years ago when I needed help with my scaredy cat Gracie. With Stephen’s assessment and guidance plan I was able to know that Gracie is a very happy cat even though she does hide a lot. My goal was to have her become more social with me so I could give her the love I wanted to give and have her love in return. I followed his plan and got the amazing results of a Cat not always hiding and enjoying our time together with brushing, playing and lots of treats. I am confident that Stephen can put a solid plan together should any challenging situations come up in the future. He gave me a peace of mind I so needed, and Gracie a schedule she can count on to feel safe displaying affection and have interactive play time.

Stephen helped us about a year ago when we brought our new kitten home to our older cat, Evie. At first it was utter chaos in our apartment, she did not like him one bit! My husband and I struggled learning how to integrate them together and Stephen was INCREDIBLE! He was patient, kind, and always had useful feedback. About one year has passed and they are now inseparable siblings, all thanks to Stephen and his guidance! Thanks Stephen!

When we first reached out to Stephen we had recently rescued a six month old kitten, and our senior cat was having none of it. When we put them together he would lunge and chase, she would run in terror, we’d separate them, and it would happen all over again when we put them back together. We had been feeding this kitten in our driveway for weeks and were already in love with her, and obviously our senior cat wasn’t going anywhere, so we were at wits end. Stephen was so kind and helpful, guiding us through a series of steps over the course of about three months, answering all of our questions and helping us understand why we were doing what we were doing, rather than just giving us steps to follow without any background or explanation. It’s been a few months and our two cats are living together now! Not yet best friends, but they are relaxed in each other‘s company so there is no more fighting and they are starting to play together. Hiring Stephen was such a great decision for our family, I am so glad we did it and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone with cat behavior trouble!

Stephen has been an invaluable resource! I would recommend him 100% to anyone dealing with cat behavior issues. A neighbor cat caused a few redirected aggression incidents in our 5 year old littermate cats and we were so distraught and worried they would never get along again. We started our journey of reintroduction with Stephen by our side and he was extremely helpful in guiding us through each step. Stephen was very responsive to us (as we would send daily videos of progress) and was extremely helpful in letting us know when to move forward or when to tweak things to get a better result. After a few months of work and with the guidance of Stephen we now have our cats back together and I could not be happier!

Working with Stephen was awesome! We were dealing with territorial and aggressive behavior between our two cats and Stephen was thorough, responsive and kind throughout the process. He met with us and put together a comprehensive, simple to follow plan for our cats. After our assessment he was always available to answer follow up questions and to coach the humans through a stressful process. We can’t recommend Stephen enough and will not hesitate to contact him if we have any questions/problems in the future.
