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 fur around the house. De-shedding your cat as part of routine cat grooming can stop 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. Your choice.

Lion Cut / Close Summer Shave

Lion Cut Pride

We have twelve 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 20,000 cats in our tenure and we built our practice on solving the most severe matting issues.

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.

A velvet cut is a shave using custom clipper blades so your cat’s coat can be cut to a measured length. We do velvet cuts in 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, ¾ inch and 1-inch lengths.

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.  Cats in the City can safely clip your cat’s nails periodically, but it is best to trim nails every 6 – 8 weeks.  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.

De-Flea and De-Skunk are treatment additives applied during the bath.

De-flea is an enzyme concentrate that naturally kills fleas on contact by compromising their outer-shell (exoskeleton).

De-Skunk is a patented cleanser that significantly reduces and/or removes horrible smells.

Does your cat have flaky skin and dandruff? Dandruff is caused by a genus of fungi called Malassezia. Most living animals have Malassezia on their skin in healthy amounts. An over production or accumulation of this fungus causes dandruff. We treat the skin during a bath using an all-natural anti-fungal coconut oil-based therapy known to control and improve dandruff on cats.

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.
