We already had a 4 year old male cat (Bono) in our house from a shelter for years and in 2023 we rescued a poor, sick stray cat in Beirut Lebanon. The cat (Magic) arrived in our house and we separated them for weeks but we were insecure how to introduce them to each other in the right way and called in the help from Jonne. After a (free) introduction call he guided us with online video calls through the process by watching carefully their behaviour when executing tasks which he gave us. Jonne has an incredible understanding of cats behaviour and knows how to guide owners to get to a relaxed situation. Thanks to his help and guidance, we are now at the stage that they play, eat and sleep together. We can highly recommend Jonne!

A couple months ago we found ourselves with a new cat that had behavioral issues. Needless to say that was a stressful moment in our household. We knew immediately who to call. Jonne was incredibly attentive, helpful and understanding of our situation. We received the most detailed guidance from him. This has been the second time he has made a positive impact in our life as he also helped us a couple years ago with our extremely scared and timid cat who is now the most cuddliest cat in the world. You can truly tell how passionate he is about the work he does and the love he has for cats. We couldn't recommend him more.

Jonne just left, he was here for almost 2,5 hours. I'm so happy he took the time and things are so much clearer now. Got a lot of amazing tips and things to look out for, really looking forward to with her now and really have a feeling I can now. She is showing a lot of signs of stress of which some I mistook.
She is doing better and better. The difference between 3 weeks ago and now is huge and I still got a lot to learn about and from each other but I'm so confident that we'll be absolutely fine. The trust (and love) between us grew immensely.

When we introduced a second cat in our home things didn’t go very well so we hired Jonne to help us. It was the best decision ever! He made us see our cats’ behavior clearly, end free us from our projections which was much needed. Rather than guessing and interpreting what our cats might need or want, we got a very clear idea on how to read their body language and behavior
Jonne cuts right to the chase and if you follow his advice and do your homework almost anything is possible. All of this comes with a very reasonable price tag too! We highly recommend him!

Since we realized Lilly's behavior was not caused by a traumatic experience, but she had not been socialized well and she was under stimulated, we learnt we had to practice with her.
She is so cool!
What a sweet, fun and easy to handle cat she is!

"I have asked Jonne for advice for 3 cats that could not get along with each other.
The last cat to joined about 2 years ago and terrorized the other 2.
The older cats are VERY afraid because of this.
Jonne soon realized what the problem was and how it could be solved.
With a few relatively simple changes, eg a basket in another room,
the problem, with some practice and patience, is now solved.
The cats can now be all three in the living room without stress and that was not the case before. '
So if you have problems with a cat:
Consult Jonne. Highly recommended !!!!"

"4 weeks ago I contacted the Kerbert animal shelter in IJmuiden about my 6 months old kitten Snowy. They referred me to Jonne. I immediately called him. And he was able to schedule a home visit on short notice. My kitten of 6 months had some nasty habits. She chewed on many items. Nothing remained intact. Laminate flooring, chairs, duvet covers, you name and she started chewing on it. She also walked around the house restlessly all day long. She barely slept. My kitty chased my other cat and did not leave my dog alone, she kept washing them. I did not know what to do. Had already tried everything. More playing with my cay. But that did not help unfortunately.
Jonne visited my house, and he knew how to give good advice. Immediately he saw what Snowy needed. Also because she is deaf, it was a different approach. And can not say otherwise he has helped me and my kitten tremendously. 3 weeks later and she does not chew anything anymore. I can sleep well and she has become much quieter. My other cat can also play by herself without being attacked. My dog is no longer groomed excessively. And Snowy now goes to sleep on her own, something she never did. I am so grateful to Jonne for his advice."

"Thank you very much for all your great advice!
Cleo is really enjoying herself. She enjoys being outside in the garden, and she always comes back neatly. She even lost a bit of weight, I think because she now spends so much time outdoors and has a lot of space to run.
Cleo now also stays in the room with us when we have friends visiting. She even sits on my best friend's lap! I can really see that she is completely at ease in our new home "
