**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

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give you all an update on my back. While I was initially told that surgery was my only option, I've decided to explore other treatment options, leaving that as my final solution. I'm committed to finding a solution that will allow me to continue doing what I love – grooming your furry friends.

I appreciate your understanding and support during this time. I'll keep you all posted on my progress.

Happy Holidays to all ❣️

Thanks,
Catherine Foster

Hello friends,

I have rather unfortunate news for myself and my clients. I have been struggling with immense pain in my neck and lower back. Yesterday I learned from my neurosurgeon that I will need two separate back surgeries. With a heavy heart, I am canceling my upcoming appointments. I know that this is inconvenient and frustrating, especially during the holiday season. I am also frustrated that I am unable to do my job that I love so much. Please do what is best for your furry companions during this time. My future is not very clear right now, I do not know when my surgeries will take place. When I do have more information then I will update everyone.

I am in the midst of hiring help and in that case I can reach out to those that were recently canceled [depending on the circumstance].

Please hug your dogs for me; I am devastated.

PS if you cannot be compassionate or understanding then simply find a new groomer, no need to kick a gal while she's down.

Your dog's best friend,
Catherine Foster

Holidays are approaching, and I am thrilled to be so busy and wish I could fulfill everyone's grooming requests, but there are only so many hours in a day so unfortunately, I am not accepting new clients.

I appreciate those who have planned properly and booked in a timely manner. I recommend booking now if you have not already!

Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies and choosing Catherine's Grooming 🤎💛❤️

Good morning! Catherine's Grooming is receiving an overwhelming amount of attention and I am unable to accommodate any additional clients at this time. Regular clients who visit every 4 weeks or less are advised to schedule appointments for the rest of the year. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with your pets and provide them with exceptional care 🥰
