About Mobile Claw Trimming

Professional Nail Care for Your Cat—in the Comfort of Your Home

Welcome to Cats in the City’s exclusive Mobile Cat Claw Trimming Service! We know that trimming your cat’s claws can be a challenging task. Many cats dislike having their paws handled, and a stressful grooming experience can lead to anxiety and fear-based behaviors. That’s why we offer a specialized, stress-free solution—right in the comfort of your home.

Our service is unique because we’re swift and work alone in a private room within your home—typically a bathroom or laundry room—creating a calm, controlled environment where your cat feels safe. We are bonded and insured, so you can have peace of mind knowing your home and beloved feline are in the hands of trusted professionals. We’re also experts at working in homes when you’re not present. With prearranged access instructions, we can perform our services even if you’re away, ensuring your cat receives the best care without disrupting your schedule.

How It Works

Schedule Your Appointment
Scheduling your cat’s claw trimming service is easy! Contact us by phone or book online. We work within 2-hour window periods—select the day and time slot that best suits your schedule.
First Visit and Grooming Location
During your first visit, we’ll work alone in a designated private space within your home—such as a bathroom or laundry room. This controlled environment helps keep your cat calm and allows us to provide a safe, efficient claw trimming session. Our first visit includes a pair of certified TANDEM™ groomers to evaluate your cat’s behavior and body condition.
Assessment for Future Appointments
After the initial visit, we’ll determine if your cat can be groomed by a solo groomer for future appointments. If so, you’ll continue to receive our professional claw trimming services at the base rate. If your cat’s behavior or health needs require two groomers, a $50 adjustment will apply to reflect the additional handling required.
Service With or Without You Present
We specialize in providing cat grooming services with or without you present. With prearranged access instructions, we can enter your home, complete the service, and leave everything just as we found it—all without you needing to be there. This option is perfect for busy clients or those who prefer to minimize their cat’s stress by maintaining a quiet environment.
Transparent Pricing and Reassessments
We reassess your cat’s claw trimming needs every 6 months or after 3 visits to ensure we’re providing the best service for your pet’s health and safety. We communicate any changes in service requirements and keep you informed of your cat’s progress.
