Did you know there are 4 breeds of cats that have curly coats? These two bubs are Selkirk Rexes (long hair and short hair) - Can you name the other 3?

Also, this review made me cry 😭🥲 Swipe to read.

I wish more people knew the power of cat grooming like this - the impact it has on the cats and their humans 🩷

PS- Big Red’s mats were just compacted undercoat, not uncommon in the breed. But when you get a professional cat groom, we can sort these things out quite simply with our expertise and gentle “tricks.” So it saves owners getting out their kitchen scissors 🤭

PPS - Groomer Pippa’s camera is a game changer 🙏👏

Westies 🤍 I always laugh that the universe made this cheeky terrier breed white 😂 Gosh they are fun to scrub up… we look like we have given them a soak in Napisan when they leave 😜

These are the three most common style requests for Westies we see in the salon.

Which is your favourite style? (Obviously setting aside that all 3 dogs are darling angel hearts and they are all equal though 🤍)

I (Annie) was away in Brisbane last week working towards mastering my craft - privileged to get further training from Internationally renowned Master Cat Groomer Sarah Warner (CFMG, presenter and trainer.) I have admired Sarah from afar, but getting to know her and learn from her was truly something else.

Professionally, her knowledge is beyonddd. Her attention to detail, her patience, her passion, her depth of knowledge (not even just with grooming but background in veterinary nursing and business) My brain is going to burst with all the new info!!

Personally though, she’s also just an ANGEL. She’s been dealt a rough hand the last few years with her health, but is still one of the most generous humans ever. She drove me around, hooked me up with the best equipment, was a great listening ear, advice giver and gate keeps nothing!!

We also have so much in common… our ADHD saw both our phones accidentally placed in the fridge 😂 Her care for environment (consciously even recycling her soft plastics), parenting, her outlook on life, and of course… LOVE FOR CATS.

This trip was so beneficial for me, the business and every cat that walks through the doors of Uncanny Animals.

Also huge thanks to Sarah McKinnon for letting us work out of her beautiful salon .au 🐈‍⬛ She’s also an incredible groomer and human being - If you have a cat in Brisbane, your feline friends are in wonderful hands with her! 💖

Annie received a 100% score on her Practical Exam (99% on her Written Exam) to officially earn her International Cat Grooming Certification 🐱✨

She’s been deep in study mode this year; refining her skills, investing in education, and continuing to raise the standard for our pet friends 🩷🐾 With her strong focus on gentle handling, it’s especially rewarding to see that recognised in her results.

Hoping this won’t be the last certification update this year🤞🥰

We’re incredibly proud to share that Uncanny Animals has partnered with Humane Animal Rescue as part of their “Paws & Support” initiative - providing professional, judgement-free grooming services to the pets of people needing some assistance 🩷✂️

At both UA and HAR, we understand that life can throw unexpected challenges - but no one should ever have to choose between caring for themselves and caring for their beloved pet!

What Uncanny Animals truly love about Humane Animal Rescue, and what makes them so unique in the rescue space, is their ✨PROACTIVE RESCUE MODEL.✨ It’s not just about stepping in during crisis, but about supporting pet families before it gets to that point.

By offering help early, they empower people to keep the pets they love, rather than being forced to surrender them due to hardship. And in turn, prevents rescues and shelters from filling up with pets that are already so loved!

To read more about this Paws & Support program, how to apply for grooming assistance, and learn more about ways in which you (or your business) can help, read on our website here: https://www.uncannyanimals.com.au/blogs/news/grooming-with-purpose-our-partnership-with-humane-animal-rescue

I have a secret to tell you. You know how Heidi has been working for us for like 2 years and is a total salon legend/star up-and-coming groomer? WELL….

She only became an official adult TODAY 😂😭😭 Yes, it’s her 18th birthday TODAY. Way to make me feel old Heidi lol.

But wow. How ahead of your time you are, Heids! Such a huge future ahead of you and how incredibly lucky we are to have you! We adore you and hope you had a great day 🩷❤️🩷❤️

We know most of our clients aren’t show dogs but that doesn’t mean we can’t groom them with the same level of care to bring out the very best in what they’ve got. ✨

Meet Lennie. Of course, we groomed out her dead, shedding coat and line brushed all thoroughly, but there’s often more we can do to enhance the overall finish.

➡️ Lennie’s coat has quite a bit of curl to it, so we dried and groomed her in a way that encourages the coat to lay flatter.

➡️ As an older lady, Lennie doesn’t have the same muscle definition she once did, so a little carding over the shoulders and rear helped create more shape and definition for a more youthful look.

➡️ I love natural furnishings, but hers were sitting a little skewiff, so we did a very light scissor tidy to even them up and help them grow out evenly, in a way that flatters her shape.

➡️ Her tail coat was also looking a little thin, so we used a protein treatment just on the ends to help strengthen it.

Isn’t she a gorgeous?! Well done, Lennie 🩷

If you have your Goldie booked in with us, feel free to ask what we’d recommend for them too!

A teary announcement to share that our gorgeous Lori and Sienna will be pursuing new paths outside of UA in 2026 🥺💕

Lori has been with us since pretty much the beginning, back when Uncanny Animals was operating from the home salon. She has been absolutely pivotal in shaping UA into what it is today. Lori wears her heart on her sleeve and cares deeply, not just for the business but for every single person in it - staff, client and animal. Front of House is no easy role, it’s busy and carries a lot of emotional weight (e.g. Lori was often the one to receive news from clients about sick or passing pets, and then have to pass that on to the team.) Despite how challenging it could be, she showed up every day, worked incredibly hard, and was more often than not the source of our laughter.

And Lori’s sidekick and our beloved brushing demo dog, Lestat, will still be around for haircuts, just not curled up behind the front counter anymore. Little Busy is going to have a hard time finding people to boss around without them both! 😅

Sienna was our hallway hype person, white board doodler, undeniable life of staff parties and general good-time crackpot 😆 Their love for animals shone through all they did inside and outside of work (I mean what arachnophobic person adopts spiders? I’ll tell you who… Sienna! Coz their empathy > their fear.) The kindness and the joy they brought the team can’t be understated.

Thank you, Lori and Sienna. We love you both dearly and are endlessly grateful for everything you’ve given to Uncanny Animals. You have left your mark here in the most beautiful way. We’ll miss yewsssss 💕💕💕
