Please note: Matting fees range from $10 to 100. Extreme matting will be referred to a Veterinary Clinic as we will not stress or have a cat at risk groomed without being under Veterinary supervision.
Cats with fleas will be charged a Flea Fee/cancellation fee and sent home ungroomed. We do not take cats with parasites at our salon as this is a risk to other cats and our pets.
Behaviour cats will not be taken without anxiety medication under Veterinary Care. They may be charged extra if extra care is needed. They may be sent home if stressed or deemed a risk to staff or themselves, with total fees required.
Prices can change at any time, depending on our grooming conditions.
The groom can be discontinued at any time at Groomer’s discretion.
By booking, you agree to our grooming conditions.
Cat Grooming Information
All cats are groomed without sedation and with tender, loving care and low-stress handling. If we believe your cat is too stressed out by the situation, we may refer you to a Veterinarian for clipping under sedation (minimum fees still apply). Most cats can be clipped and bathed; some are better groomed than dogs. We groom compliant and shy cats only for our staff’s safety.
Cat Grooming is one-on-one. (One cat per groomer at a time.) Cats are only at the salon for their grooming times. No early drop-off or later pick-ups are accepted, as this can add stress to your cat or other cats.
We recommend you stay nearby or in the salon for your cat’s first grooming. Grooming takes an average of 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Cats cannot handle long grooming sessions. For safety reasons, nail clipping is included for all grooms.
Cats booked for bathing are hand-washed at least twice with cat-specific shampoo and blow-dried; this removes the excess dead coat, dander, dandruff, and excess oils that cause matting, excessive shedding and hairballs.
Please note coat clipping can change your cat’s coat colour and texture, especially after matting and with age/existing health conditions. We recommend bathing and prevention of matting, over clipping.
Before the Groom- The Cat Carrier
We will only groom cats with a good temperament and those that cannot be sedated for medical reasons. Cat availability is low as we only attend to a regular clientele.
We need to consider our safety and longevity, so we may muzzle (Elizabethan vet collar) as we deem necessary for the safety of the cat and Groomer.
Cats are unpredictable, so if we decide not to groom your cat, we have assessed the cat’s stress signs and body language and made an educated decision.
Please bring your cats in separate carriers. They may become aggressive towards each other after grooming, as they smell and look different. Cats not in carriers may be rejected.
Post-Grooming: After a cat is clipped, it is unusually affectionate. Grooming a cat gives them more time to play. Less to groom and sometimes a new lease on life; others may hide for the first day or so; every cat is different. Multi-cat households are recommended to be separated for up to 1 night after grooming for their scent to return.
