Are conditions at home a good match for housecall grooming?

No vacuuming, renovations or sudden noises. Other pets placed in a separate room. Clean. Space on the kitchen counter to groom. Good water pressure in kitchen sink. Hot and cold water, plus sinks that drain. Okay with leftover fur? I tidy up, but there’s always a bit of fur floating around.

Rabies is fatal.☠️ Rabies is found in NY.

Kitty Can Tolerate Grooming?

Many cats don’t mind grooming. Some enjoy it. Others show stress, panic, hiss, scratch or bite. Forcing a cat through grooming can make their reaction even stronger. If I see signs of high stress, I end the grooming session. Owners can consult their vet or a behaviorist for ways to help their kitty feel comfortable with necessary grooming.

Fees💲💲

Pawdicures $125

Grooming cost for other services depends on fur length, matting, last-minute booking, travel time, and behavior (both cat and owner, ha ha!). Email information if you would like a quote. Housecall grooming costs more than salon grooming.

After the first visit, all long-hair or high-maintenance cats are put on a schedule in order to remain as clients. This keeps cats comfortable and makes your life much easier. Schedules may be weekly, twice a month, monthly, or every two months.

Sanitary trims, pawpad fur trims, pawdicures and de-shedding brush-outs are popular.

I do not provide lion cuts, full shave-downs or all-over fur trims/haircuts, because my focus is full-coat maintenance.🦁
