Cat's First Appointment.

Cats need a different kind of care than dogs — calmer, quieter, and on their own timeline. Here's exactly what to expect before, during, and while your cat is in our dedicated Cat Grooming Suite.

Why It's Different

Cats Aren't Just Small Dogs.

Cats need a different kind of handling than dogs — calmer voices, slower movements, and a quiet, dedicated space away from barking. That's exactly what our Cat Grooming Suite is built for. Here's how to make your cat's first visit as smooth and stress-free as possible.

The Full Walkthrough

Before, During & After.

Everything you need to know, from the moment you book to the moment you pick your cat up.

Before You Arrive

Proof of vaccines: before we can start grooming, we need to see proof of up-to-date Rabies and FVRCP vaccines. Bring a hard copy or send it to our email ahead of time.

Cat Grooming Enrollment Form: this helps us get to know your cat and covers a few of our shop policies. Fill it out ahead of time, email it back, or print it and bring it with you.

Getting a haircut? bring photos or ideas of what you'd like for your cat — we'll help find the best look for their coat.

When You Arrive

A secure cat carrier is the safest way to bring your cat inside — if you don't have one, a pillowcase can work for the short trip, just keep your cat calm and contained.

Once inside, Julianna, our receptionist, will greet you and start check-in — confirming a good phone number for pickup, going over your services and any add-ons, and confirming your vaccine dates and Enrollment Form are on file. From there, your groomer Ashley comes up front for a one-on-one consultation about your cat's visit.

Our shop is on a busy street — keep your cat secured in the carrier until you're safely inside.

While Your Cat Is Here

Most appointments take about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the service. If you've only booked a mani-pedi, you're welcome to wait in our retail area instead of leaving.

Ashley will give you a pickup update when your cat is ready, and you're always welcome to call or text for a status check anytime during the visit.

Save our number in your phone — it makes pickup even smoother.
