Bleeding, swelling, discharge, odor, limping, severe pain, or a claw touching the paw pad may require prompt veterinary or clinic care. [Review ingrown-claw guidance →](https://catsinthecity.com/ingrown-cat-claws/) Why mobile claw care ## Less travel. A familiar room. A cat-specific plan. Mobile care replaces the carrier-to-car-to-clinic sequence with a prepared space at home. The team reviews your cat’s handling history and environment before confirming the visit. 01 ### No carrier ride across town Your cat stays in a familiar environment without a waiting room or extra travel transition. 02 ### Feline-only handling The visit is planned around paw-handling history, mobility, behavior, and what helps your cat feel safer. 03 ### A controlled service space A bathroom, laundry room, mudroom, or similarly enclosed room creates a clearer care environment. 04 ### Flexible home access You may be home, or the team can review an approved secure-access plan before the visit is confirmed. How it works ## A request review comes before route confirmation. The booking page is a service request—not an instant appointment. This lets the team confirm fit, route capacity, staffing, rate, and preparation. 1. 01**Estimate**Check driving distance, cat count, and optional Soft Paws below. 2. 02**Request**Share your address, cat details, handling history, room plan, and preferred dates. 3. 03**Review & confirm**The team confirms routine-care fit, route, staffing, agreement, deposit, and arrival plan. 4. 04**Prepare & visit**Have each first-time cat secured in a carrier in the designated room unless another plan is approved. Transparent route-based pricing ## Estimate your mobile claw-trimming rate. Choose the starting clinic and enter the service address. The estimator uses driving distance, the number of cats, and selected Soft Paws add-ons. ### Base mobile rates Standard routine front-and-rear claw trimming. Final pricing and route availability are confirmed after request review. - 0–4 driving miles**$179** - 5–6 driving miles**$195** - 7–8 driving miles**$210** - 9–10 driving miles**$225** - 11–12 driving miles**$240** - 13–15 driving miles**$255** - 16–18 driving miles**$270** ![Cat relaxing in a Cats in the City catio](https://catsinthecity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Untitled-design-45-1024x684.png) Route-based pricing keeps the travel component visible before you submit a request.
