Hi, I’m Shelby, also known as The Cat Whisperer Singapore®. I’m a cat behaviourist in Singapore with over 15 years of experience working with cats.​

It all began in 2007, when I rescued my first cat, Lucky.​

​

In 2010, I left my banking career to launch Lucky’s Pet Haven, an online pet store and grooming service. Around the same time, I became a community cat caregiver, rescuer, rehomer and animal welfare advocate.

 

By 2013, my work had grown into cat sitting, rescue and rehoming, after I boarded my beloved community cat Tigerella (RIP 2017), in a cattery to save her from being culled.

That experience shaped my mission: to care for every cat as if they were my own.

​

Over the years, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience in cat behaviour, handling, medication and grooming.

In 2021, I saw a growing need among my clients and formally expanded into feline behaviour consultancy.

 

Today I offer personalized assessments and science-based behaviour modification plans rooted in psychology, observation and compassion.

​

Education and advocacy have always mattered to me.

I served on the Board of the Cat Welfare Society (2017–2022) and Purely Meow (2023–2025), have been a Grassroots Volunteer since 2012, and am an ACLP-certified trainer.

​

In 2024, I published my first e-book, Feline Fundamentals: A First-Time Owner’s Guide to Cat Care, to help new cat owners start out with knowledge and empathy.
