Vet Referred Behaviorist and
Feline Friend
Exciting
News!! Mieshelle has just recently signed contracts with
producers seeking to create
a companion
show to "The Dog Whisperer"!
It's exciting to think the most popular pet in America (the
cat!) will finally have a show on T.V. to better educate owners
on the cat and its behaviors.
Mieshelle's expert
advice has been used in
Cat Fancy Magazine,
This Wild Life, Pet Magazine,
The Divine
Cat, and
The Daily Cat.
Mieshelle's study of animal behavior was at
Harvard University.
Mieshelle Nagelschneider is a nationally known
veterinarian-referred feline behaviorist who has consulted with
cat owners across the United States to solve their cat's
behavior problems. In addition to nearly five years working with
veterinarians, and 18 years working professionally with cats
ranging from domestic cats to large exotics of the tiger family,
Mieshelle is also one of the referred Feline Behavior
Consultants for the Cat Adoption Team of Oregon, a 140-cat
no-kill shelter in Tualatin, Oregon as well as on The Oregon
Humane Society's Resource Page for Animal Behaviorists. Her in-depth knowledge and
understanding of the cat psyche has helped her to better educate
the cat owner and, most importantly, to help your cat!
In addition to donating her time and services to cat owners who
find her through THE CAT ADOPTION TEAM and THE OREGON
HUMANE SOCIETY (where she has also volunteered with her dog
"Annabelle" in the Animal Assisted Therapy Program)
Mieshelle is a medically trained and experienced veterinary
assistant. Mieshelle was also nominated Pet Sitter of the Year 2003 (Pet
Sitters International).
Mieshelle is also a popular resource for veterinary practices,
wild cat sanctuaries, and other animal shelters needing expert
advice on feline behavior. She has also been asked to be
an expert witness on cat behavior in a recent
court case.

testimonials from happy clients!
Says Mieshelle,
"I have been caring
for animals since I began to walk -- dogs, cats, horses, birds
-- and have cared for them professionally since 1989, when I
began to study for my Veterinary Certification Exam. A few years ago, I realized
cat owners are under-served and began
to focus my new client development exclusively on
cat care -- which sometimes means care of their owners
too."
Mieshelle has been been nominated Pet Sitter of the Year
2003 by Pet Sitters
International and has run a
gratifying and successful
cat behavior consulting practice, "The Cat Behavior Clinic" for cat owners across the
United States.

Nagelschneider
is Mieshelle's real name, it's German for "nail cutter," and
we're not making that up. She is know for her uncanny
ability to trim any cat's nails, by herself and with no
restraint. Of course, this works best when the owner isn't
present usually because of social dynamics. Yes, even cats that the vet can't come near are
accepted by Mieshelle.
Mieshelle is already an
"Associate" of the International Association of Animal Behavior
Consultants, but she is currently in the process of being
certified as a Certified Feline Behavior Consultant!
She will be the only Certified Feline Behavior Consultant in
Oregon!
