cat_grooming

We ask guardians to drop off their cat/s between 8:30-9:30AM. The cat is usually ready to go by 5:00PM. We can call your cell phone if done earlier. If you are a new or previous customer and your cat is 20 years or older, the groomer has the right to decline services based on the cats health. We will not perform any lion cuts or body shaves on elderly cats whose health we deem to be compromised by this type of grooming.

Note: There are a few cats that we just cannot do and we'll let you know this if we think we might have trouble or if your cat might need to be sedated. If you think your cat needs sedation, please ask your vet for a prescription before bringing them in for grooming. A sedative pill normally takes 2-3 hours to kick in.

Basic Bath
Includes nail trim, ear cleaning, 2 shampoos, blow dry, brush out.

Panty Shave
Sometimes poop gets stuck on tail hairs, so we trim the fur around the anal area as directed by the guardian. Some want it shaved down the back of the legs, some just the basic. If no specifics are given then we will give the basic panty shave around the anal area only.

Cost: $20 and up


Tummy Shave
Again this is directed by the guardian on how much we shave. Usually we start in the chest area down to the back of the legs.

Cost: $30 and up


Shave Mats
We shave the mats as directed by the guardian. Usually if your cat is heavily matted we recommend a Body Shave or Lion Cut. We also recommend a basic bath for your cat in order to help heal their irritated skin. We use Oatmeal and Chamomile as well as other medicated shampoos to help soothe your cat's skin.

Cost: $25 and up


Nail Trim / Soft Paws®
We get lots of calls for just nail trims and you can come in anytime that the groomers are in the house.  Soft Paws ® available in clear, pink, purple, blue, red, green and black, holiday colors for Halloween and Christmas are also available – please call first or make an appointment for Soft Paws ®.

Nail Trim Cost: $10, $8 if boarding with us

Soft Paws ® Cost: $32 front paws only / $42 front and back paws


Lion Cut
Most of the body fur is shaved off. We leave the mane around the head, the legs and the tail. Guardians need to specify how they want the mane to look. Some cats get a "V" cut, some a round cut, and some get their faces trimmed and blended in. This also includes a basic bath as part of the package.  If no specific instructions are given then we will give your kitty a classic Lion Cut with a round mane.

Cost: $75 and up


Body Shave
Almost all the body fur is shaved off. We leave the mane around the head and shave partial 3/4 legs. Guardians need to specify how they want the mane to look. Some cats get a "V" cut, some a round cut, and some get their faces trimmed and blended in. This also includes a basic bath as part of the package.  If no specific instructions are given then we will give your kitty a classic Body Shave with a round mane.

Cost: $80 and up


Frontline ® or Advantage ®
When a cat is dropped off it is nice to find out if you may want a flea treatment applied. We can apply it after the bath or while they are with us. We charge by the dose, or we have packs of 6. However, The Cats' Inn is a "no flea zone" so if your cat has fleas we will apply Frontline ® or Advantage ® at the guardian's expense.         

  • Advantage ® kills fleas
  • Frontline ® kills fleas and ticks

Cost: $16.50 per dose for Frontline ®
          $14.50 per dose for Advantage ®
