I’m Charlotte—a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to four wonderful cats (Freja, Bilbo, Odin, and Sigrid), three curious chickens, and a beautiful Appaloosa horse. My journey has always been sh

aped by a deep love for animals and a strong commitment to their wellbeing. I began my professional path studying Philosophy (BA Hons) and Psychology (MSc), which led to rewarding work in mental health as a support worker, carer, and practitioner. But my passion for animals has always been at the heart of what I do. Over the years, I’ve worked hands-on with animals as a receptionist and carer in catteries and kennels, gaining invaluable experience in animal behaviour and care. I later founded Charlotte Emily Pet Care, offering tailored cat and dog sitting, walking, home visits, and home stays. In May 2025, I trained in iPet Cat Grooming at Absolutely Animals in London, and soon after, I followed my dream of creating a dedicated feline wellness space—Cat Cave Cat Spa—which officially opened in July 2025. At Cat Cave, I combine my mental health background with expert cat grooming knowledge to create a calm, respectful, and enriching grooming experience. Every cat is treated with the same care and attention I give my own—and that makes all the difference.

I absolutely adore this funny cat! 🥰 Chai is a 3 year old Persian boy, who was struggling with a pelted coat all over. He enjoys being outdoors, and has recently gone into the care of a new owner as his previous owner has been unwell and staying in hospital on and off throughout the past few years.

Chai could not be completed in one session due to the extensity of his condition, and his temperament, (he was a little spicy from never being groomed before).

Chai allowed us to remove the pelted fur from behind his ears, under his chin, his chest, left armpit and left flank. These areas were all connected by a large pelt pictured below. Chai was distracted during the clipping process with lots of treats.

The pelt was dense and heavy, causing soreness to his fragile skin, and undoubtedly lots of pain. Chai's skin was flaking from where shedded skin cells were trapped underneath this pelted armour. He had small scabs from trapped debris causing irritation, and his skin not being able to breathe.

Chai was unable to groom his skin himself through licking because he couldn't get underneath this thick layer of dead coat. Another factor preventing Chai from grooming himself is his movement was restricted by his pelted fur. Chai could not flex his neck backwards to reach his body, nor could he lift his arms to scratch with his claws, as the tight interconnected pelt fused him into a fixed position.

Chai enjoyed having his head brushed once his little head mats were removed 💕 he enjoyed chin strokes and stretching his neck with restored freedom of movement 🩵

We achieved a lot in this session and decided it was best to break Chai's treatment down into a few sessions to save him from experiencing too much stress, and to keep us safe from Chai becoming too aggressive, as he's a little fireball 😂🔥 we also want Chai to have a positive experience of grooming so he is easier to handle in future sessions, and his new owner can groom him regularly at home so he doesn't get pelted again 🌟

Some more photos of little Moggy from a different recent grooming session ❤️ Mogs needed grooming again after only 4 weeks as she has dry skin and experienced a heavy moult over the winter. All cats have different needs, and Moggy's owner is very good at recognising when she needs to come into Cat Cave for a hairbrush or bath 🩵💚 I call Mogs the postman pat cat as she looks like Jess 🐾 I even found a card for Moggy's owner with Moggy's sweet little face on 🥰

I enjoyed seeing Moggy for a maintenance groom recently 🥰 she is very vocal with her little meows, and has so much floof for a teeny-tiny cat ❤️ Moggy is in her senior years, and needs regular grooming to remove shedded fur that she is unable to get to herself. She is a house cat princess and is absolutely adored by everyone 😇

I had the pleasure of grooming Timothy (Tim Tam) recently 🍫🧸 Tim is a very gentle, sweet, and kind hearted Persian cross boy who is one and a half years old 💙 Tim has lots of mats all over his body, but especially in his armpits and on his chest. Tim does venture outside and he had some foliage and dirt trapped in his tangles 🪢 Tim's owner had tried olive oil in his coat to untangle the fur, however, this had not worked and his coat had become greasy and hard to manage. Tim was helped by us removing all of his mats so he has no pulling, this did leave some patchy areas of fur where the knots were close to his skin, however, they will soon grow back 🩶 and he feels much more comfortable 🥰 Tim has a magnificent mermaid-like tail, and he looks absolutely gorgeous following his groom and dry bath 🌟
