As a solo groomer trying to groom a cat, it can be challenging to handle their body and gain access to the areas that need grooming, such as the hind legs, armpits, or tail. These areas are often hard to reach without assistance. Grooming a cat alone requires the groomer to multitask and fulfill the roles of two or three people. Not only do they have to keep the cat in position, but they also have to groom them while ensuring that they’re comfortable. It’s a demanding task for both the groomer and the cat.
To make the grooming process comfortable for the cat, it’s important to keep the cat in natural positions. This means avoiding any movements that may strain their limbs or twist their back in an unnatural way. Maintaining natural body postures is especially beneficial for cats with underlying conditions like hip dysplasia, arthritis, or obesity.
If a cat experiences pain during grooming, it becomes nearly impossible to provide them with a thorough groom. Cats will resist and protect themselves, and rightfully so. With Tandem Grooming™, two people work together to groom the cat. This helps preserve the cat’s comfort during the grooming process. By ensuring the cat’s comfort, we can extend their tolerance and provide a more thorough groom. Cats are generally more tolerant when they are approached in a gentle and cooperative manner.
Mixing cats and dogs during grooming creates unnecessary stress. Cats in the City is Portland's cat-exclusive grooming boutique.
From routine grooming services to medically necessary treatments, our tandem groomers can handle it. We solve extreme cat fur issues.
Our grooming shops are clean and designed for cats. The grooming team has extensive training in cat behavior and handling.
Our cat groomers are experts led by Dr. Daniel Lioyryan. The team has experience working with cats of all temperaments and a variety of medical needs, ranging from heart murmurs to pure “cattitude.”
We use our collective professional experience during the grooming process to adapt and modify grooming procedures prioritizing safety, temperament, and ability of the individual cat before us.
Our buildings do not have fleas. To maintain that status, for the health and safety of your cat, our team, and all cats in our care, it is our firm policy to flea dip a cat immediately upon discovery of live fleas.

Grooming Session
We require a bath and nail trim with most grooms. Grooming related needs may be discovered during the session that were previously unknown or not discussed. We address such needs during the grooming session and actual services performed are charged at checkout. Grooming sessions start at $129 and most grooms are capped at $259.
Claw Trims
For the safety of kitty and our team, we perform claw trims on most cats. We trim claws to just before the vein in the nail bed, which is harmless to cats. Claws regrow and sharpen within 2-6 weeks.
We measure our love of cats by how much we are loved by them.
