The World’s First Certified TANDEM Cat® Grooming & Feline Somatic Medicine™ Center
We’ve set a global standard. Cats in the City is proud to be recognized as the first facility in the world officially certified in both TANDEM Cat® Grooming and Feline Somatic Medicine™—the next era of trauma-informed feline care.
A Revolution in Feline Care
TANDEM Cat® Grooming replaces restraint-based methods with cooperative handling. A two-person team synchronizes care—one handler supports, one grooms—keeping cats secure, calm, and engaged. This eliminates the need for sedation, force, or rigid restraint.
- Natural positions minimize stress and discomfort
- Behavior-responsive handling adapts to real-time signals
- Fluid guidance replaces force with subtle adjustments
Precision Holds. Trauma-Informed Handling.
Our signature TANDEM Touch™ techniques use supportive, natural holds that mimic feline body language and prevent panic. This structured system allows cats—even seniors, fearful, or medically fragile—to experience grooming without distress.
Better Care for Cats™
This certification sets a new global benchmark for feline care. By combining TANDEM Cat® Grooming and Feline Somatic Medicine™, we go beyond cosmetic grooming. We restore function, comfort, and quality of life—especially for the cats others can’t or won’t serve.
