FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vaccination Requirements

Proof of current rabies vaccination is required before any grooming appointments.

Feline Distemper (FVRCP) required for in-facility grooming (encouraged but not required for mobile grooming)

How often should my cat be groomed?

We typically recommend grooming every 4–8 weeks, but this depends on:

Coat length and texture
Breed and size
Health and mobility
How much grooming are you able to do at home

If your cat doesn't tolerate brushing or nail trims at home, it's best to schedule more frequent grooming. At a minimum, we recommend professional grooming 2–4 times per year, especially during spring and fall when shedding is most prevalent.

Are nail trims required?

Yes. A nail trim is always performed at the beginning of each appointment—for both the safety of the groomer and the comfort of your cat. We are happy to work gently and slowly, but if your cat is not tolerant of nail trims, we unfortunately cannot proceed with grooming.

Do you groom cats that are aggressive or anxious?

We strive to create a calming, low-stress environment for every cat. That said, not every cat is a candidate for grooming. If your cat becomes highly stressed, aggressive, or shows signs of distress, we may need to stop the appointment for their safety and well-being.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept:

Credit & Debit Cards
Apple Pay
Cash or Check
PayPal (by request)

Payment is due at the time of service.

Can grooming help with allergies?

Yes! Cat allergies are caused by a protein in their saliva—not their fur—so even hairless cats can trigger reactions.

A study from Ohio State University found that bathing a cat weekly can reduce allergen levels by up to 84%. Regular grooming helps remove saliva-coated hair and dander, making life easier for allergy sufferers. For many people, even a monthly grooming schedule makes a noticeable difference.

What is the difference between a lion cut and a comb cut?

Both are haircut styles designed to manage shedding, reduce matting, and keep your cat feeling fresh.

Lion Cut: The body is shaved short, leaving longer hair on the head, feet, and tail (like a lion!). This is ideal for severely matted cats or those prone to matting.
Comb Cut: The coat is trimmed evenly using a comb attachment, resulting in a shorter length but not shaved. This is a good option for a neater look and lighter shedding without going full lion.

We'll help you choose the proper cut for your cat's coat condition, temperament, and lifestyle.
