How to set up a mobile grooming appointment for my cat?

Click the “Book Now” button and complete the form. We will contact you shortly to discuss suitable grooming options, provide an estimated price and schedule a convenient appointment time.

How does mobile cat grooming work?

We basically bring spa right to your doorstep. Our mobile grooming van has a table, a mini bathtub, a catty shack vac, different shampoos, various combs, a blow dryer, towels etc etc. We have powerful air conditioning, water and waste tanks, water heater and to add, our van is idle-free!

How to prepare for your visit on the day of the grooming appointment?

We will text you when we are 15 a few minutes away, and ask you to place your cat in a carrier.

How long will my cat's grooming take?

Typically from 1 to 2 hours.

Why do you need to know about my cat's background and health?

Pre-groom assessment is very important and helps us decide on an appropriate type of a grooming service that will suit your cat’s needs best.

What forms of payment do you take?

Cash, Zelle, personal checks and credit cards.

How often do you recommend my cat to get groomed?

Every 4 to 12 weeks, depending on such factors as the service provided, length and condition of the cat’s coat etc.

Do you accept aggressive cats?

Aggressive cats absolutely need to be groomed and kept in a tip top shape to lessen the stress and time spent grooming. Sometimes when a cat is very aggressive we will recommend you to ask your vet about sedative prescription, which would be in the best interest of the cat. Grooming options for aggressive cats are limited.

Do you accept senior cats (over 7 years old)?

Yes, we do. But grooming them goes along with a high risk of stressing them out, which we always remind to the owners prior to scheduling the appointment. They are often underweight, their skin is thin, health is fragile, joints are stiff.

Our main concern when grooming older cats is to keep them safe, comfortable and stress-free. Thus limiting the amount of grooming options.

Do you provide flea baths?

We do not offer flea baths as a standalone solution for flea infestations.
A flea bath may remove some live fleas present at the time of the bath, but it does not eliminate flea eggs, larvae, or pupae in the home environment. If the home is not properly treated, pets can quickly become reinfested.
For the safety of your pet and all of our clients, we require that cats (and other pets in the household) be on a veterinarian-recommended flea preventative for at least 3 consecutive months prior to grooming. Prescription preventatives such as Revolution Plus (or another product recommended by your veterinarian) are designed to kill adult fleas and help prevent the flea life cycle from continuing.
In addition to treating your pet, the home environment must also be treated to fully eliminate an infestation.
As a mobile grooming service, we cannot risk contaminating our grooming van with fleas or eggs, as this would endanger other pets we care for.
We recommend contacting your veterinarian to determine the most appropriate flea prevention and treatment plan for your household.

Do cats actually need to get professionally groomed on a regular basis?

Yes cats, just like us, humans, and like dogs, have skin and hair that need to be maintained! Washed, blow dried, combed out. Imagine how you would feel if you didn’t wash your hair for a few years. That would feel gross, right!?

Cats don't like water, don't they?

Yes they rarely do, but they need to be bathed regularly in order to maintain overall health. A good bath degreases skin and coat, washes away dander (microscopic saliva and skin cells) and dandruff, removes dead hair, helps with tear staining and stubborn dingleberries.

Why not use waterless shampoo instead of bathing a cat?

Unfortunately waterless shampoo is only good for masking the smell of unwashed coat, pretty much like perfume. Dirt, urine, feces, grease, dander and dandruff won’t go anywhere without a proper bath.
