Yes We groom Cats!
Cat grooming is a highly skilled profession.
Not all groomers are professionally trained to handle cats.
Most grooming schools do not include cats, rabbits or other animals in their courses. The risk of injury to the person and /or to the cat is higher, especially without proper training. At Pampered Paws, in order to learn how to handle cats, you must meet certain criteria, which includes being a seasoned groomer with dogs for at least two years first. Most groomers prefer not to do cats.
We have a cat specialist on staff to train those interested. Cheryl, the owner of the salon has been doing cat grooming her entire career (30 yrs.) Also, along with another local groomer Pam Carlson, Cheryl had the opportunity to teach classes to groomers nationwide at the KC seminars.
We can do whatever your cat needs, from a quick comb out to a full body shave and all in between. Some cats need a bath, some just need the hair cut or combed. We price according to time spent on your pet. It can be very difficult to give a price quote until we see the cats condition and assess it's needs. Ideally, with cats its an exact appointment time, so the cat gets worked on immediately upon arrival. The prevention of stress can lengthen the patience a cat has with it's groomer.
