Hello visitors! Learn about my housecall cat grooming service here.

Shedding season has commenced!🔥

This is me grooming Magnolia. Isn’t she adorable? Dry grooms every 3 weeks keep her comfortable and beautiful. She’s 15 years old now!

Why choose Spiffy Kitty? Linda (that’s me) brings over 14 Years of Professional Cat Grooming Experience to Your Home.

Travel Area: Spiffy Kitty offers convenient house call cat grooming services in Manhattan from 96th Street to Wall Street. I groom cats in these neighborhoods: upper east side, upper west side, midtown, Chelsea, Soho, Tribeca, the East and West Village.

Please provide your address when emailing about appointments. Linda@spiffykittycatgrooming.com

Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 8 to 3. Closed on holidays, Sundays and Mondays.

To protect the cat’s welfare, I follow a low-stress Scandinavian-inspired handling model. Appointments continue only while the cat remains within safe handling limits.

For cats with a history of fear, resistance or overstimulation, pre-visit medication from your veterinarian is required for grooming.

Conditions at the home: The goal is Calm – Quiet – Predictable.💗

Cleanliness in your home is important because it becomes a “spa”. Make sure food is covered and the sink/counter is clean.

Rabies: It is vital that newly rescued cats receive a rabies vaccination. Cats that can access the garden, attic or basement at a country house also require vaccination. Rabies is fatal.☠️

Fees: The minimum fee for pawdicures or an in-home consultation is $128. Grooming cost depends on fur length, matting, services, last-minute booking, travel time, and behavior (both cat and owner, ha ha!). A bath for an adult long-haired double-coated wiggly cat with a few mats may be $325 since blow-drying alone can take an hour! A calm short-haired cat’s bath costs much less. Ask me for an estimate.

What choices are available? Did you know most cat grooming is done without a bath? Baths are reserved for calm or messy cats. Elderly cats or kittens might need baths if they can’t clean themselves.

I offer a choice of towel-drying or blow-drying. Blow-drying can cause high levels of stress for some cats. Towel drying is recommended for short-haired cats.

All long-hair or high-maintenance cats must stay on a 2, 3, or 4 week schedule to remain clients.

Sanitary trims, pawpad fur trims, pawdicures and de-shedding brush-outs are popular with clients. I mainly provide full-coated dry grooming on a weekly or monthly basis. I do not provide lion cuts, full shave-downs or all-over fur trims/haircuts🦁

How to schedule a visit? Tell me the breed or fur type, behavior, experience with grooming, age, health issues, and what you want Spiffy Kitty Housecall Cat grooming to achieve. If you can only schedule a visit on certain days of the week, please tell me. I need your full address, so I can look up travel time. Then email linda@spiffykittycatgrooming.com. I do my best to reply within 48 hours. Usually visits must be scheduled at least a week in advance.

Day of visit! What does the owner need to provide? Clean kitchen sink or walk-in shower (no bathing in tubs, as that puts groomers at risk of back strain), clean counter, no uncovered food, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, an adorable cat for me to pamper! Make sure your cat can’t hide under or behind big furniture. Close doors if that helps. Consider placing kitty in a carrier or the bathroom shortly before the visit. Place two large, soft towels on the counter, as in beach or bath towels, not hand towels. After the visit, inspect your kitty. If I forgot to do something, please remind me. I am friendly😺, so don’t be nervous about asking questions. Pay me using cash, check or Zelle. PayPal and Venmo are last choices, due to processing time and fees.

A Sales Tax of 8.875% Will Be Applied. Immediate Payment required. 48 hours notice required for cancellation.
