Community + Support

Themed Monthly Challenges / Activities

Each month, we have a new activity theme or challenge designed to help you engage and/or adventure with your cat in a new way.

2x Monthly Zoom Chats

Twice a month we come together just to connect and chat. Questions are encouraged, but I’m not gonna lie… it’s more of a social hour. We are a tight-knit group, after all.

Access to Private Podcast

Members get exclusive access to the Trailblazers Private Podcast where we dive even deeper into the whys and hows related to that month’s activity theme.

Direct Access to a Cat Trainer

The group is run by Emily, who is a certified cat trainer. So if you need any training help at any point, you are welcome to ask for it!

Exclusive Discounts

Members get exclusive discounts on all KittyCatGO products and services!

Other Benefits:

An ad-free Learning Center experience! The Learning Center is home to all KittyCatGO educational articles on cat adventure, travel, training, enrichment, and more. These articles are available for free for everyone, but they do contain ads. Members of Trailblazers get access to the all Learning Center articles AD-FREE!

A Trailblazers yearly calendar! Each month, Emily creates a collage using photos submitted from that month’s challenge/activity. These collages are then compiled into a photo wall calendar. Members receive one (1) calendar each year. Additional calendars may be purchased.

This community is made up of members from all over the world, of all experience levels, and all ready to welcome YOU and share in your cat adventure journey.

“The Trailblazers community has helped me strengthen the bond with my kitties, even the ones that don’t “adventure.” The support and advice from all of the members has become something that I look forward to. This group is a support system with the common goal of enriching our kitties lives, while helping each other reach our goals.”

–Kela & Kuma + Tasha

“I want to recognize KittyCatGO Trailblazers as a forum where we can share ongoing challenges and see the progress over the months of the stops and starts, the wins and failures, where we can all share what’s working and what’s not so that we can come together as a community… and bring the best to our cats.”

–Adami & Anjohl + Terri

Meet the Leader

Hi, I’m Emily – cat trainer and cat adventure enthusiast!

I’ve been traveling and adventuring with my cats for about 10 years now. My goal and passion is to educate, encourage, and help others to have successful cat adventures.

I LOVE creating the group’s monthly enrichment games and activities and getting to connect with Trailblazers on a more personal level.

I hope you’ll come join the fun! Your cat will thank you 😉

No matter the theme, there are activities that take place both outdoors and indoors, so there is something for everyone to participate with, even if they’re not quite ready for outdoor adventures yet.

Absolutely! There are a wide range of experience levels represented, not to mention the various schedules everyone has in their own lives, so it is understood that everyone will participate in their own time. There are no expectations or requirements for participation or rate of progress.

Though the monthly activity/challenge theme may change each month, you are more than welcome to take however long you want to work on your chosen activities or even go back to revisit past month’s activities. The resources and activities are there for you whenever and however you’d like to participate.

No worries! You are able to participate in any of the other past activities at any time, so if one month doesn’t appeal to you, there are plenty of other things you can do instead. The Zoom chats are fun to attend even if you aren’t participating in this month’s activities, and the community is ALWAYS there for support, encouragement, and discussion.

The Zoom chats typically take place on the first Monday of the month at 8pm ET and on the third Friday of the month at 3pm ET. The times alternate to accommodate the many different time zones represented in the group.

Zoom chats are not recorded.

There are currently 4 titles available: Harness & Leash Pro, Pathfinder, Cooperative Care Champion, and Cat-Friendly Locations Conqueror. Each one is designed to help you and your cat work on specific skills related to training, adventuring, and general cat care. Once you’ve completed the required tasks to earn a title, you and your cat will have made significant progress in your training and further strengthened the bond you share.

Each Title has a list of required tasks to complete. As you complete them, you can share about them in the group and submit the required “proof” at the end. Once a Title has been earned, you will receive a personalized badge photo as well as a printable PDF certificate.

Absolutely! Though the majority of the members are in the US, there are members from all parts of the world – including Canada, Sweden, Germany, and Australia.
