Cats are masters of concealment, and their coats often tell the story before their behavior does. What looks like a medical issue—dandruff, shedding, skin irritation—may actually be the result of missed or delayed grooming care.
That’s where trauma-informed, clinical grooming comes in.
When a cat is too sensitive for traditional grooming, TANDEM Cat® Grooming fills a much-needed gap. We specialize in care that meets cats where they are—emotionally, physically, and medically.
This is about restoring comfort, relieving hidden burden, and preventing the slow buildup of distress. Our approach is grounded in support, not blame—and built to keep cats thriving, even when life gets complex.
Imagine an old rug that has never been cleaned. Over time, it traps dust, dirt, and oils—acting as a filter for its environment. Instead of cleaning it, you assume it has a problem:
Will the rug ever be clean? No. It simply needs to be cleaned.
Your Cat’s Coat is No Different
Without routine TANDEM Cat® Grooming, dirt, oil, and dead skin build up—leading to chronic skin irritation and false medical concerns.
Sometimes what looks like illness is actually something more treatable.
Excessive shedding, dandruff, skin irritation, odor, and changes in coat texture are often signs that a cat’s grooming needs have outpaced what traditional care can provide. When this happens, even veterinarians may mistake these signs for medical decline.
That’s where TANDEM Cat® Grooming makes the difference.
Our trauma-informed, clinical grooming model is designed to restore comfort, release hidden tension, and bring clarity to the body. In many cases, what seemed mysterious or chronic resolves within a single session.
Because for sensitive or fragile cats, grooming isn’t optional—it’s essential care.
We can resolve:
Preventing matting, excessive shedding, and discomfort.
Reducing stress, monitoring behavior, and ensuring companionship.
Checking for stiffness, pain, or early signs of health concerns.
Maintaining a predictable environment to reduce anxiety.
Because your cat deserves more than just a safe place to stay—they deserve the highest standard of comfort, care, and attention.
Our in-home service eliminates the anxiety of travel and unfamiliar environments, ensuring a calm and controlled session every time.
At Cats in the City, grooming isn’t just about appearance—it’s about health, comfort, and quality of life. Our TANDEM Cat® Grooming method is designed exclusively for cats, providing expert, stress-free care that restores mobility, reduces discomfort, and enhances well-being.
