We host interactive Zoom sessions throughout the year. Join the general Q&A sessions in order to get customized advice on your specific situation/cat.

We’ll go over how to make the perfect match for a cat who has graduated the Socialization Saves Lives method.
- The adoption process step-by-step.
- How to quickly find out if an adopter isn't a match so that you don't waste the adopter's time and you make the most efficient use of your time.
- How to not miss out on the perfect adopter who may not seem like a great match on paper.
- Questions to ask in order to figure out if an adopter would be willing to follow the accelerated program (2-4 weeks) in order to gain the cat's trust and have the cat blossom back to a cuddly kitty.
- How to get other cats adopted even without posting them.
- How to do meet and greets that will show the true sweet, cuddly personality of the cat once the cat trusts you.

You don't need fancy equipment or need fancy software. I take all my videos with an iPhone and now use VideoLeap. I also used to use the free iMovie app that comes with the iPhone.
