The main benefit is having a happier, healthier cat that does not suffer from any of the painful and potentially life-threatening problems already mentioned. In addition, you will benefit as regular grooming cuts down on shedding, eliminates hairballs, reduces allergy problems, and helps promote a cleaner environment as well as a cleaner cat. And the best part is, you don’t have to do any of the grooming yourself! Leave that up to us!

Greasy skin and coat combined with natural shedding causes matting. And once a small tangle or mat forms, it grows very quickly. The only real defense against tangles and mats is regular bathing and drying done by a professional cat groomer who truly knows what they are doing. Some groomers are not cat groomers and will groom a cat using products and techniques that can cause more problems. Make sure your cat groomer has received training specific to grooming felines!

Contrary to popular belief, most cats do not mind being bathed. In fact, many are very calm during the bathing process and seem to find it relaxing. We use special techniques to introduce a cat to the bathing process each time, until we can see that they are used to it. We know from experience that cat owners report they have a very happy cat after it returns home from a day at the spa.

We use the Catty Shack Vac patented drying system designed specifically for cats. The Catty Shac Vac was invented by the founder of the National Cat Groomers Institute!

We do not sedate cats. In reality, most cats truly do not need any sort of sedative in order to be groomed. If we do think your cat would best be served by receiving medication, we will refer you to your veterinarian for a mild sedative that can be administered prior to the grooming appointment.

It can hurt your cat to NOT be groomed. Cats that are not groomed are prone to serious matting problems, skin conditions, painful ingrown nails, and a variety of other problems that, if left unattended, can cause irreversible damage or even death.

A cat that is groomed regularly (approximately every 6 weeks) will not suffer from such problems. Because the groomer is handling the cat on a regular basis and looking over every inch of its body during each visit, health issues that may arise can be found early on, and the likelihood of effective intervention is increased.

However, not every cat is a candidate for every grooming service. Should we feel like the requested service is not appropriate for your cat’s age, temperament, health, or condition, we will advise you of what options would be best. We will not do anything that we feel is not appropriate for your cat’s well-being!

We typically allow 2-3 hours for your appointment if you have only one cat. If you bring in two or more, or the cat is severely pelted or matted, the groom time may take longer. Once we see your cat/cats in person, we will be able to give you a time for pick-up. We believe cats are better served by not being away from their normal home environment any longer than possible, and therefore strive to complete each groom in an efficient and timely manner.

Most cats need to be professionally groomed every 6 weeks or less to prevent matting and excessive shedding. Once we groom your cat, we will have a better idea of what grooming maintenance schedule your individual cat needs.

Most of the time we can. We can usually tell when we initially see your cat in person whether or not it can be safely handled.

Yes, that is our specialty.

Yes. We require proof of current Rabies and FVRCP vaccines. You will be asked to upload an image of the records when requesting an appointment.
