Michelle Grace

Certified Advanced Feline Behavior Specialist

I am based in New York City with years of both professional and personal experience working with cats. I hold a certification in Feline Training and Behavior and Advanced Feline Training from the Animal Behavior Institute. Both certifications require extensive hours of field work in a shelter and classes in feline training, behavior, enrichment, health, nutrition, and animal minds and emotions.

I've worked with cats of all ages— from neonatal kittens to seniors—at Best Friends Life Saving Center and NYC Animal Care Centers, and I regularly receive referrals from veterinarians across the city. I'm also certified in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) through Neighborhood Cats, supporting my work in community cat care and population management. I am a member of the Pet Professional Guild and a supporting member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.

I can be found on Instagram and TikTok.
