Surcharges
There is an additional charge for mat, pelt, or fecal matter removal. These fee's are based on how severe the problem is and how much extra time is required to shave the affected area. An exact price will be given at the time of appointment.
Complimentary Bath and Blow Dry
Bath and Blow Dry is a complimentary addition to clipping and de-shedding services, and will only be carried out if your cat is coping ok. This is to minimise the stress levels in your cat as well as protect myself from potentially getting injured.
Please note that a full bath and blow dry is only offered for well-behaved cats. If you cat doesn’t like water, I have a beautiful rinse-less shampoo option as an alternative to a full bath.
If your cat doesn’t like the blow dryer, I can offer a good towel dry followed by a light brush out to significantly help the coat to dry naturally.
Cat Grooming Safety
While cats are great self-groomers, they often need a helping hand due to matting, excessive coat, heat exhaustion, being elderly, overweight, unwell, or simply needing a general wash and tidy up.
With extreme care and patience, I will do what I can to complete your cats groom safely and gently. My main goal is to keep your cat happy at all times throughout the groom. Most cats enjoy being professionally groomed within their time limit.
For each situation, I offer a solution that will best suit the needs of your cat. I’m always happy to discuss the options with you in salon. I offer coat clipping in various lengths, de-shedding, belly clipping, de-matting, bathing and more.
It is always best to avoid having a cat sedated for grooming, however on the very rare occasion that a cat refuses to be groomed in salon, I may recommend that they be groomed at a vet while under sedation. I do try my best to avoid this, and in cases where vet sedation is required, I will offer advice and an ongoing grooming plan to avoid vet sedation in the future, if possible.
To ensure a quiet and safe environment, I prefer to groom alone in salon. I will offer you an estimated pick up time, and also send you a text when your kitty is ready for pick up. However, you are most welcome to stay in the waiting area outside the salon throughout the groom if you like.
It is important that cats are only in salon for the duration of their grooming appointment. No earIy drop offs please. I will greet you at the waiting area outside the salon at your specific appointment time. This is to reduce stress to your cat, and to keep cats seperate where possible. Please bring your cat to the salon in a cat carrier.
Cat grooming can take anywhere from half an hour to two hours, depending on the service required and the temperament of your cat. Please be patient, safety always comes first so I will take my time. I will always send you a text message when your cat is ready for pick up.
Being freshly clipped can often give a cat a new lease on life, with more time to play and less time to self-groom. Some cats may hide for the first day or so, every cat is different. I love to hear stories of happy kitties after thier day spa visit!
Parasite Prevention
I am proud to have high disinfecting standards for the prevention of disease.
All cat's must be treated for and free of parasites (fleas, ticks, lice, worms) before entering the salon. If I spot fleas or ticks on your cat in salon before or during the bathing process I will apply Fido's Flea Shampoo in their bath for an additional fee of $30.
When ring worm is present, I cannot groom your cat as ring worm is highly contagious.
If you have concerns with worms, fleas or ticks I will advise you of the best way to protect your cat - please see my Parasite Prevention and Control Guidelines.
