Do you groom feisty and aggressive cats?
We would encourage grooming to be done under sedation by the vet themselves. As there is risk and danger involved during the process that may cause injury to the cat or groomer. Sometimes it can be quite stressful and traumatising for the cat as well.
When is the best time to introduce my kitten to grooming?
All animals, at the start of their lives, go through a 'sensitive development period'. During this time they encounter the world for the first time and learn to accept what they find. Any experiences during that time will become part of its natural order of things. After that age, unfamiliar objects and experiences can become a source of stress to them. In some instances the stress of certain situations can cause the animal to become extremely fearful and this can sometimes manifest into forms of aggression. Therefore, We suggest your kitten is introduced to Mobile Cat Grooming at an early age. Once your kitten has had its vaccinations you may book an appointment with us. This is where your kitten leave us having had a positive grooming experience.

What is a mat? How do I prevent it?
Mat is a tangle of hair or fur that can be found anywhere on a cat that has not been brushed or combed regularly.
The matting process is speeded up when the cat gets wet from a bath or being out in the elements and is allowed to air dry without being brushed.
A cat should be fully brushed and combed prior to and after any bath or circumstance where the cat could get wet at all. A long-haired cat should also be hand dried while being brushed or combed after getting wet, to reduce the possibility of matting.

Will you sedate my cat?
We do not sedate any animals on these premises under any situation. Only a Veterinarian can prescribe any necessary drugs for your pet. Please ask your vet for advice.
Will it hurt my cat to be groomed?
It can hurt your cat to NOT be groomed. Cats that are not groomed are prone to serious matting problems, skin conditions, painful ingrown nails, and a variety of other problems that, if left unattended, can cause irreversible damage or even death.
A cat that is groomed regularly (approximately every 6 weeks) will not suffer from such problems. Because the groomer is handling the cat on a regular basis and looking over every inch of its body during each visit, health issues that may arise can be found early on, and the likelihood of effective intervention is increased.
