prioritizing the safety, temperament, and well-being of your unique cat

Your cat is bathed using hypoallergenic solutions, dried, and brushed to remove dander, tangles, and loose fur.  We require a bath and nail trim with most primary services.  We will withhold a bath upon request, though it does not reduce the cost of the overall charge.

Using patented tools we proactively remove as much of your cat’s loose shed and undercoat as possible, eliminating the cause of matting, and reducing the amount of fur your cat ingests, so fewer hairballs and less fur around the house. De-shedding your cat as part of routine cat grooming will prevent matting before it begins.

We built our practice solving matting issues.  Using patented tools we gently remove the knots and tangles from car fur, essentially rescuing your cat’s coat, and bringing it back to life without the need to shave.  Although a cat’s cat can reach a state in which a shave is the only choice.  De-shedding as part of routine cat grooming will proactively eliminate matting before it begins.

A lion cut on a cat is a close trim shave, similar in length to a man’s buzz cut. It can be done with a natural or tapered lion mane, booties, and pom-pom on the tail.

A teddy bear cut on a cat is similar to a lion cut, though a 1/2 to 3/4 inch layer of fur similar to lamb wool is left on the cat, and the face is tapered similar to a bear cub. This cut cannot be done on cats with matted fur.

If your cat has an imperfect coat (tangles, knots, compaction), you can still get a teddy bear cut but the fur requires preparation at an additional cost in order for the tools to work for this cut.

We have thirteen years experience shaving cats that would otherwise be sedated and shaved at a vet. We have shaved thousands of cats who were severely matted without sedatives.  We have groomed over 35,000 cats in our tenure and we built our practice on solving the most severe matting issues.

A velvet haircut is a shave that is aesthetically similar to a teddy bear haircut, but at a 1/4 inch length, it is shorter than the teddy bear haircut.  Unlike a teddy bear haircut, a velvet haircut can be accomplished in some matted and compacted coats.

A sanitary trim is shaving the private area and sometimes the back of the legs, in order to keep kitty sanitary while using the litter box.

Fecal Removal.  Sometimes it happens. Some pretty yucky waste becomes stuck and needs cleaning of fecal matter to become sanitary.

Your cat’s nails can’t be ignored, either.  Unclipped nails curl and thicken, injuring your cat’s paw pads.  Unclipped nails can also catch and stick to carpeting, scratching posts, and furniture, potentially injuring paws.  Cats in the City can maintain the health of your cat’s paws by safely clipping the front and the back nails periodically.  We recommend clipping nails every 6 to 8 weeks for indoor cats.  Does your cat scratch your furniture and floors?  We can help with that, too!

Removing ingrown nails and wound care for damage paw pads is an additional cost.

It’s common to find low levels of dandruff in a cat’s coat, especially in darker coats.  However, excess dandruff in your cat’s coat can be a sign of dry skin caused by the overproduction or underproduction of skin oil called sebum.  Grooming and bathing your cat  can address excess dandruff production and we can help!  In addition to grooming, increasing Omega-3 fatty acids in your cat’s diet will improve skin health.

Cat hair can accumulate oil and appear greasy even after a bath.  When grease and oil has fully encapsulated your cat’s hair strands, it acts as a water repellant so water and bathing product do not penetrate the hair, resulting in poor outcomes.  We achieve clean results by using an advanced hypoallergenic formula that is gentle and safe.
