Summer announcements:

Catherine's Grooming is closed this week from July 25th-29th. Any calls, texts, messages etc received during that time will be returned July 30th.

In August, I will be out for four weeks for surgery (not back surgery, back is fine for now, ha!). Is this convenient or good timing? No. Is this frustrating to you and your pet? Maybe. This is a small business with one groomer. Why am I the only groomer? Finding a skilled, compassionate, and patient groomer is extremely difficult. I am not willing to hire anyone to handle my client's beloved pets. Clearly, groomers are extremely scarce, which is why most facilities in the area are not accepting new clients. I understand a lot of pets are desperate for a groom and my staff and I are working SO hard to get in as many clients as we can. With that being said, I have plenty of availability for August for baths and nail trims. Otherwise, my first available for haircuts is now October. If you are not booked and would like to be put on my schedule please call or text me! Thank you to those who have been kind, pleasant, and understanding of this situation. It really means a lot!

Business hours are 8am to 4pm

We are heading into the second week at our new location and having so much fun! We are taking on a ton of clients from Helena Dog House / Sophie's Dog Spa and the schedule has filled up RAPIDLY! Thank you for those who have been understanding and polite during this transition - I understand that a lot of furry companions still need to be groomed. I am the only groomer on staff (I have one groomer in training 🙂)so there are only so many dogs that can be booked in one day.

As of right now our first available appointment is the first week of July. It is pretty standard for Catherine's Grooming to be booked 5 to 7 weeks out especially during the summer (hot) season so please book accordingly!

My business hours are: Monday-Friday 8am to 4pm
Any messages, texts, or voicemails I receive after those hours will be returned the following business day. Please holler if you have any questions and as always, thank you for the support!

*KITTY NEEDS A HOME!!!*

Name: Mr Mama
S*x: M
Neutered: Yes

Mr.Mama lived in a Hoover apartment complex for 2+ years. His current owner's captured him and got him all his necessary medical treatment which included an eye nucleation and a PU surgery. He is litter box trained, very very sweet, and has a calm energy. Absolutely loves to be petted and will cuddle and make biscuits on your lap. Great with dogs, other cats, and children. Just needs a forever home! 🏠

**Catherines Grooming is EXPANDING/MOVING!!**

Hi friends! I have some BIG news that I am happy to share with you all. I have been on the prowl for a property to move my business into and my feet have landed! My friends at Helena Dog House have a grooming space that I'll be moving into. Helena Dog House has been around now for 5+ years and their grooming area is about to be vacant. This does not mean I am selling my business, I am simply sharing the space. I know a lot of people that currently use this facility for grooming and are unsure of their future. I will try my absolute best to accommodate everyone and will be in touch, but not until May as I am still getting my ducks in a row. Some fun and exciting renovations will be taking place this month and next.

In the meantime, business will continue per usual.
As for my existing clients, nothing will change. Your pets safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Your pets will still not stay for an extended period of time especially those furry babies that are anxious and need to be in and out. The option will now be available for me to keep your dogs for a longer period of time if that is what your schedule requires.

I have inherited a wonderful bather who currently works at HDH and I'll be bringing my trusty grooming apprentice with me as well. I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach others how to groom while also serving my community and doing what I love. Little Catherine (picture below) would think I am the bees knees right now.

Questions? Comments? Concerns?
You know where to find me!
Thank you!

Finally, I have some good news for my clients! I successfully avoided another back surgery (or two)! Thank you to Precision Chiropractic, I am slowly recovering from a total of four bulging discs. I have hired help and will be working three days a week until I feel ready to do more.

The sad news is that I have spondylolisthesis in my low back, which explains a lot of my lower back issues/pain. Because of this, my ultimate goal for Catherine's Grooming is to keep full-time help to maintain the health of my back.

I do know that some people were not able to find a groomer since I have been out, those are the shaggy pups that I would like to help first. My first available right now is mid-January - I will keep dogs a bit longer than normal just because I am a little rusty and slow.
Please feel free to shoot me a text, I have not reached out to everyone quite yet! I hope everyone everyone had a wonderful holiday. Happy New Year!

Love, Your dog's best friend,
Catherine Foster
