Cat Grooming in Beaverton
TANDEM Cat® grooming is designed around how cats actually cope: behavior-first, consent-aware, and built for real-life needs (including anxious, senior, and high-support cats).
- Feline-only care—handled as cats, not “small dogs.”
- Responsive pacing guided by the cat, not an appointment timer.
- Complex cases welcome (matting, seniors, handling sensitivity).

Behavior-first care changes the whole visit
People searching for cat grooming in Beaverton often aren’t looking for “spa grooming.” They’re looking for a team that can manage coat problems and a cat’s stress response—safely.
TANDEM Cat® is a structured, trauma-informed clinical grooming system. Some cats need extra pauses. Others need micro-breaks, repositioning, or calmer transitions. We tailor the session to the cat so care is more tolerable now—and easier next time.

This short timelapse features Dr. Dan and Shawn Lioyryan, MSW completing a structured, non-sedated TANDEM Cat® grooming session on a Maine Coon—showing two-person support, calm handling, and major coat reduction without rushing.
What you’ll notice in the clip
- Two-person support to increase stability and comfort
- Controlled coat reduction with skin-safe technique
- Continuous reading of body language and stress signals
- Non-sedated care aimed at preventing escalation

Thinking About Grooming Without Sedation?
When clinically appropriate, we offer awake, trauma-informed grooming using TANDEM Cat® methodology.

FAQ: Beaverton cat grooming
Do you work with anxious or “spicy” cats?
Yes. We routinely support cats with fear, handling sensitivity, or prior negative grooming experiences. Our sessions are feline-only and behavior-first: we adjust pacing, build breaks in, and prioritize consent and regulation so care can be more repeatable over time.
My cat has matting—can you handle that?
Yes. We see everything from mild matting to severe compaction and pelt-level coat. We’ll assess what’s safest in one visit and choose the most skin-safe approach for your cat’s coping window. If a one-visit resolution isn’t humane or realistic, we’ll explain what we can do today and what the next step should be.
Do you provide sedation?
We don’t sedate cats on-site. If medication support is needed for safety, we coordinate with your veterinarian so you can follow a vet-guided plan before the visit. Our default approach is working within stress thresholds using behavior-first handling, structured breaks, and calm transitions.
What does cat grooming cost in Beaverton?
Pricing depends on coat condition (matting level, shedding/compaction), your cat’s size and tolerance, and how much time the session requires. The quickest way to get a precise estimate is to book—then we confirm needs at intake and explain options before proceeding. You can also call 503-214-2003 with a quick description of coat and temperament.
How do I schedule?
Book online at catsinthecity.com/grooming-booking/ or call (503) 214-2003 if you’d like help choosing what to request.
Do you groom senior cats or cats with medical needs?
Yes. We frequently care for seniors and cats with mobility limitations or chronic conditions. We adjust positioning, pacing, and session structure to reduce strain and support comfort. If your cat has a complex medical situation, call first so we can plan appropriately.

Cat Dematting
For mats that tug with movement. We prioritize skin safety, pace, and careful release over speed.
Lion Cut (Comfort-Forward Reset)
When a reset is the kindest option. Common for matting, hygiene breakdown, or coats that aren’t holding up.
Cat Deshedding
For trapped shed and packed undercoat—the layer that often becomes matting later if it isn’t released.
Teddy Bear / Uniform Cut
A uniform trim that reduces coat bulk and mat risk while keeping even coverage and shape.
Cat Nail Trim Hub
Routine trims, dewclaw checks, ingrown claw guidance, and clinic options for maintenance-only visits.

We Groom All Cats
How we support anxious, high-needs, senior, and medically complex cats—without force as the default.
How We Choose the Right Approach
Cat-Led Pacing, Skin-Safe Choices
We look at coat mechanics (matting vs compaction vs hygiene burden), skin condition, and the cat’s tolerance window. Sometimes slow release is safest. Sometimes a comfort-forward reset is kinder. Sometimes it’s maintenance plus prevention.
