Origin and field laboratory
A professional system built inside real care
TANDEM Cat® emerged through the work of Cats in the City, where feline-only grooming, boarding, sitting, transport, rescue, documentation, and complex-care decisions operate as a connected system.
The relationship
Four properties. Four jobs.
Cats in the City provides direct care and serves as the clinical field laboratory.
TANDEM Cat® provides national professional education, methods, books, credentials, implementation, and licensing.
The Cats in the City Knowledge Base provides public definitions, preparation, policies, and aftercare.
Portland Cat Care routes the local community through the connected ecosystem.
Founders and faculty
Experience must become teachable
The relaunch converts practical knowledge into versioned curriculum, visual materials, cases, assessments, standards, faculty calibration, and a public evidence system.
Before publication, founder and faculty names, credentials, biographies, roles, disclosures, and review responsibilities should be verified and standardized across every domain.
Operating principle
The work remains connected without becoming confused
The field laboratory proves the method is lived. The education system makes it teachable. The public knowledge system makes it understandable. The local router helps people find the right door.
