Ultimate Cat Care Plans

Say goodbye to last-minute appointments, matted fur,and stressed-out cats.  Say hello to routine care, pampering treatments and happier grooming visits.  We have created two tailored care plans – one for high maintenance breeds, and one for less so demanding. Pick the one that fits your cat best!

Your cat deserves consistent care, and you deserve fewer tangles, less stress, and no surprise mat-shaving. Scheduled every 6 weeks for long and medium-hair length cats and every 8 weeks for short-haired cats, this plan is all about consistency and comfort. This routine also minimizes stress for the cat by making grooming a familiar and comfortable experience, preparing them for the senior years when they need a helping hand in looking after themselves.

Full Dry Groom

Full Dry Groom service is designed to provide your cat with expert care in a gentle and stress-free environment. Ideal for first visits or regular appointments, this comprehensive grooming session includes brushing out the dead undercoat to reduce shedding, carefully removing minor knots and tangles, and applying a conditioning dry foam shampoo to leave your cat’s coat refreshed and healthy. This service ensures your feline friend feels comfortable, looks great, and stays in top condition. Perfect for keeping your cat happy, clean, and beautifully groomed!

Full Wet Groom

Full wet groom service is a truly luxurious pampering experience and is perfect for those cats that enjoy water. Ideal for first visits or regular appointments, this service takes approximately 2 hours and includes two refreshing warm washes, a soothing all-over body massage, a conditioning treatment, and gentle towel drying followed by blow drying (if tolerated). The session is completed with a thorough groom-through to remove most of the dead undercoat, leaving your cat’s coat soft, clean, and healthy.

Enhance the experience with our Nagayu Ultra Skin Spa Bath, available as an optional add-on. This advanced treatment offers deeper cleansing, moisturizes the skin and coat, relieves issues like dandruff and itchiness, boosts metabolism, and supports faster recovery. Treat your cat to the ultimate grooming indulgence with this revitalizing service!

Lion Cut

Lion Clip service is a practical solution for cats in need of a full-body clip, leaving fur only on the head/mane, legs, and tail. This service requires at least 2 hours and is not a fashion statement but a necessity for specific situations. It is suitable for cats with heavily matted or pelted coats that cannot be saved and those who suffer from hairballs or respiratory issues.

Before booking this service, consider how it can benefit your cat’s health and comfort. The Lion Clip helps prevent painful matting, reduces excessive shedding, minimizes hairballs, and can even improve breathing for cats with respiratory issues.

Teddy Cut

Teddy Cut service is a great option for cats who don’t need a full shave but would benefit from a shorter, tidier coat. This groom maintains an even, plush length—between 1/4 inch to 1 inch—leaving your cat looking cute and feeling comfortable. It’s important that your cat’s coat is mat-free before booking, as this cut requires smooth, detangled fur to be done safely and effectively.

Teddy cut makes at-home maintenance easier between grooms. It’s a great middle-ground for pet parents who want their cats to stay fluffy without the hassle of daily brushing their long haired cat’s coat and makes at-home maintenance easier between grooms.

Kitten Introduction to Grooming

Kitten Introduction to Grooming service is designed for kittens under 9 months old with no mats or knots, providing a gentle and relaxed introduction to their grooming routine. This 45-minute to 1-hour session includes brushing and combing, face and ear cleaning, and a refreshing dry foam shampoo with conditioner. Optional claw clipping is also available to complete their pampering experience.

This service helps your kitten become comfortable with grooming tools and processes, setting the foundation for a lifetime of stress-free grooming sessions. Perfect for keeping your little one happy, clean, and looking their best!

How long does a grooming session take?
Sessions typically take from 1.30 hours to 2 hours, depending on the service and your cat’s comfort level. For first time please allow up to 2 hours.
Please keep your cat indoors before I arrive, and avoid feeding them at least 2 hours before the session. When it’s time for the grooming, I’ll need a quiet, safe space to work in—preferably a room with doors, like a bathroom or conservatory. I’ll bring along my folding table, so all I need is a comfy spot to safely groom your cat. This preparation will help keep everything calm and comfortable for your cat!
It’s totally up to you! Some cats feel more comfortable with you nearby. Your soothing voice and gentle touch can help keep them calm during the session. There may be times when I’ll ask for a little help holding your cat, but otherwise, you can stay as involved (or not) as you’d like!
I am professionally trained to handle cats safely and with minimal use of aids. My goal is always to keep your cat as comfortable as possible. However, if a cat becomes too stressed or aggressive, I may use a soft muzzle to protect both myself and your cat from potential injuries. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priority.
I always do my best to groom every cat, even those with a bit of an attitude! If your cat tends to get anxious or aggressive, I use a calming spray to help them feel more relaxed. Please let me know if your cat has shown any aggressive behavior like biting, scratching, or growling in the past. Depending on how severe the behavior is, I may recommend grooming your cat after it’s had calming medication prescribed by your vet to ensure a safer, more comfortable experience for everyone.
If your cat has fleas, I recommend contacting your vet for the right treatment and giving it at least 48 hours before your grooming appointment. It’s also important to treat your home for fleas. If I find live fleas on your cat during the grooming session, I’ll still complete the groom but will charge an extra fee for the additional cleaning and disinfecting of my tools and equipment. Your cat’s health and comfort are my priority, and I want to make sure to provide a clean and safe environment for both of us!
I tailor each grooming session to accommodate your cat’s health, including arthritis, chronic pain, or skin sensitivities. Please inform me beforehand.
I suggest helping your cat feel calm and comfortable in the area where we’ll be grooming. It might be a good idea to give them a little time to relax first.
Regular grooming is important for your cat’s health! It helps keep their coat free from mats, keeps their paws healthy, reduces shedding, and even helps with allergies. Plus, grooming can prevent hairballs, which many cats (and owners) would rather avoid! It’s a great way to keep your cat feeling comfortable and looking their best.
This depends on your cat’s breed and coat type. Regular grooming helps reduce shedding and mats, and I’ll guide you based on your cat’s needs.
Yes, it is! Professional grooming offers many benefits for your cat, including reducing shedding, preventing matting, and maintaining a healthy coat. Groomers can also check for skin issues, parasites, and overall health concerns that might go unnoticed. For cats that dislike bathing or brushing, a groomer provides a calm, stress-free experience tailored to their needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and pampered.
Yes, I specialize in working with anxious cats. I’ll take it slow and use gentle techniques to ensure they feel safe.
Yes, especially for first-time groomings, I focus on making the experience positive and may take multiple sessions to complete the grooming.
Please notify us at least 48 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
I will ask detailed questions about your cat’s health, behavior, and grooming history to recommend the best service for them.
To secure your appointment, I ask for a £40 deposit within 24 hours of booking. The balance is due immediately after the grooming session, and you can pay by cash or bank transfer—whichever works best for you.
