Services
Coat Maintenance
Brushing, de-shedding, mat removal where appropriate, and maintenance of natural coats.
Hygiene Grooming
Sanitary trims, paw-pad trimming, ruff trimming, and gentle cleaning of eyes and ears as needed.
Bathing
Bathing and drying when suitable.
I specialize in maintaining natural coats and keeping cats comfortable and well-groomed. I do not offer lion cuts, full shave-downs, or teddy bear trims. I do not groom cats who require removal of extensive mats, cats who bite, or cats who do not allow people to pick them up.
