Dolled up dog and cat grooming

13/01/2026

Hi friends ☺️ so only few people know so far, but I’ve had a pretty rough start into 2026. Last Monday the 5th I had a really scary fall off my young horse, who I had only just got back from being trained to ride. It was a bad fall and I’ve broken my back in 3 places. Luckily, the fractures are on the sides of each vertebra (lumbar spine L2 L3 and L4) and do not involve my spinal cord, or my life could have been permanently changed forever. I am very lucky to be able to recover from this, but in the mean time I’m really needing some help and support. Not that there is ever a good time for something like this to happen, but it has happened during a particularly hard financial time, as my lovely cat Opal actually fell off our roof and broke her leg in 2 places in December and had a repair surgery for several thousand dollars which I am paying off, and I have also invested a lot of money into having my horse trained and so therefore am short on funds in general currently, and I also have my precious Dolly dog who is 15 now and in kidney failure, and I know I am on my last months with her and I want to keep her as comfortable and well looked after as possible. She has ongoing medical costs of her own. So there is a lot I have to try and cover, and so my mum has made this Give a little page for me to try and receive some support if we can. Thank you everyone ❤️

CATS and more cats 🐱🐈🐈‍⬛ absolutely loving grooming cats (as well as dogs of course!) 🐾 and so many cats are feeling better with knots and mats removed from their long coats, especially after that winter and all the extra fluff. Get in touch or share for any cats that may be needing this service. Main two options are an all over “lion clip” (full body shave excluding the head, tail and lower legs), or a “belly and trousers” which is the underside only shaved (chest, armpits, tummy, groin, hygiene area). Can clip nails included with any groom. Located in Taradale! 🐱🐈🐈‍⬛

CATS CATS CATS 🐱🐱🐱 if anyone is needing their cat groomed, send me a message! I offer two main types of grooms for cats, one is an all over body shave and the other is for mainly the underneath areas and matt-prone areas like armpits. This type of grooming is great for those long haired cats who can get quite knotty! I’m a vet technologist and groomer with lots of experience in cats in particular and can groom without the cost of sedation 🐈

I had the pleasure of giving what’s known as a “puppy cut” to a beautiful fluffy English Angora rabbit named Puffy today! These bunnies are a special kind of wool which is very fine and can become matted easily especially in areas around the hind legs/bottom and tail, and around the cheeks/shoulders/front legs which is what this little guy had going on. He was soo very well behaved for me and let me clip all of those mats out, and has had his body clipped to an easier maintenance length same with his upper legs and tummy area and a good sanitary tidy up. The lovely fluff on his head, ears and toes has been brushed out and combed. Such an awesome little Rabbit, thanks Puffy! 🐰
