❗️🐾 IMPORTANT FOR NEW CLIENTS 🐾❗️
Wow... I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this! P.S a gorgeous boy Hector’s face for lots of attention…..

Firstly, a huge thank you to each and every one of you for your support, recommendations and for trusting me with your gorgeous cats. Because of you, my waiting list has now grown to over four weeks, which is something I’m incredibly grateful for. 😽💕

With an upcoming two-week family holiday and the school holidays, I’ve made the difficult decision to temporarily close my books to new clients so I can give my current clients the time and care they deserve. And of course still doing all my other duties in between… ✨

If you’ve been thinking about booking in as a new client, please get in touch by tomorrow, as my books will officially close after that. ❌

I’m so sorry to anyone who was hoping to book in later, and I really appreciate your understanding.

Even when my books are closed, you’re always welcome to send me a message. I’m happy to help with grooming advice, at-home care tips, or add your details to a waiting list. If your cat needs more urgent grooming, such as mat removal, I can also recommend some fantastic local cat groomers who are currently accepting new clients. 🌼😻

Thank you all so much for keeping me so busy and for supporting my little business.

Well, if the boot fits… meet Transition Tom! 🐾✨

This gorgeous boy’s journey started when his lovely owners reached out after noticing his coat had become dry, clumpy and covered in dandruff. After a dry groom before and his wet bath today, the results speak for themselves!

Not only is Tom looking and feeling so much better, but he’s also an absolute dream to groom. And when I say he loves every minute of it, I’m not kidding! 🥰

Just look at that shine, Tom! What a handsome boy. 💙

Keep swiping to see his coat transform! >>>>>

☀️ The Summer Kitty Guard is here!☀️🐾

With the warmer weather upon us, I can now keep the van door open to let in some fresh air while making sure your precious feline children remain safe and secure during their grooming session! 😎🪭😽

Gorgeous girl with a beautiful little temperament! 🐾💕

Despite a previous grooming experience somewhere else that didn’t quite go to plan, this lovely little lady has absolutely done her owner proud. ✨

As groomers, it’s important to remember that we all work differently and I truly believe that some cats simply feel more comfortable with certain people. And that’s ok. 🥰

I’m delighted to say that Betsy chose me and she was fantastic throughout her grooming session. Comfortable, purring, a bit of a fidget but that’s the usual, that’s what cats do! Duh!! 😬🤣

Well done, Betsy!

One of my cats’ squishy sleepy faces for tax! 🐱💤

Firstly, I want to apologise to any clients this weekend who were affected by last-minute appointment cancellations after I became unwell and had to visit the urgent care centre. 😔

Thankfully, I’m on the mend and will be getting back in touch with those affected to do my very best to fit you in over the coming days and weeks. ✨🛁

A little booking update for both my lovely regulars and any new clients looking to book in: my diary is almost full! I’ll be away for two weeks from 22nd July, and I only have around 5 appointments remaining for July, so please book as soon as possible if you’d like a slot.🐾

Due to the incredible demand from both repeat and new clients, all bookings will now require a deposit. Booking confirmations will also need to be completed within 24 hours of us making contact, as I’m receiving a high volume of enquiries. 😻

I always do my absolute best to fit everyone in as quickly as possible, but at the moment the average wait time is around 2 - 3 weeks. Occasionally, last-minute appointments become available depending on the timing of your enquiry, and you’re always welcome to join my waiting list if you’d like the chance of an earlier appointment.

As always, thank you all so much for your continued support and understanding. ❤️

This is Nala. She is a senior girl who came to me for a recommended mat removal service from her local vets to see me. 💫

She was such a good girl that after the pesky minor matting was removed she could enjoy a lovely express groom to finish. Just look at her striking colours! Beautiful 😍🐾

If eyes could tell a story, I think Biscuit would have won. 🩷🐾

This beautiful British Shorthair girl is still very much in her kitten era, but my goodness, isn’t she stunning? With her gorgeous coat needing a little extra support during shedding season, she came in for her first wet bath and full groom.

After a gentle introduction to the bathing process, Biscuit handled everything perfectly and was an absolute star from start to finish. Well done, Biscuit! ✨

As always, I love sharing my knowledge with clients and discussing the best ways to maintain their cat’s coat at home. Every cat is different and understanding their grooming needs can make a huge difference to their comfort and coat condition.

Shedding is a very common issue at this time of year and, believe it or not, the truth is, it never really stops! 😮‍💨(Unless a cat is completely shaved, which is only recommended in cases of severe matting.)

The good news is that regular maintenance grooming can help keep shedding under control, reduce excess fur around the home, and keep some of that extra floof at bay. 😽

Meet Kat, the beautiful Maine C**n! 🌟 not only has she got a great fitting name… she is stunning.

Her mum recently treated her to an express groom, as she has had a professional groom before and her owners take great coat care between sessions.

There’s nothing she loves more than looking fresh and getting a good chin scratch! 🐱❤️

Keep swiping to see her before photos.
