Presenting Grand Champion Noblessa's Helios of Voluminous

Our Special Care for Your Cat

Cats are special and they require special treatment and care.  We understand that.  We'll never treat your cat like a dog and we'll never start a "Kung Foo" fight with your beloved kitty. 

We'll never put a groomer's loop around your cat's neck and risk it strangling.  We'll never use cold or lukewarm water on your cat...we know cats hate getting cold!  We'll never spray water in your cat's face, make them shiver on a counter waiting to be dried or blow a drier in their face.  We know how easy it is to overstress a cat and we will never mistreat or rush through a job at your kitty's expense. 

Your pet's safety and comfort is our primary concern.  We watch for signs of stress and take a "time out" if needed.  And, we don't take it personally when your cat calls us bad names...we're always friends in the end!

Most of all, we'll never expose your cat to the noise and stress of a dog grooming shop.  Your cat will receive quiet and loving one-on-one attention in our private mobile salon from people who love and understand cats.  Plus, we condition our salon with Feliway® calming spray, to help give your cat a secure sense of comfort and wellbeing.

Cat Bathing and Trimming Techniques

Cat bathing is more demanding than bathing a dog.  Cat fur is much denser than a dog's and much more difficult to get clean.  Use a typical dog washing style on a cat and it won't even feel like it has had a bath!

We have years of show ring experience bathing and grooming cats.  We know how to properly and safely wash your cat so he/she is squeaky clean, shiny and soft.  And we'll do it with the least amount of stress on your companion!

Cat trimming is different too!  Cat skin is thin, loose and very easily cut or even torn, so we take special care when trimming.  Cat skin is much more sensitive than a dog's.  We will never use dog techniques to de-mat your cat.  We have special trims and techniques for your kitty to make them look and feel their very best while avoiding pain and injury.

The Complete Bath

We'll start by cleaning inside your cat's ears with an animal-approved ear cleaning solution.  We'll trim their nails and completely comb and/or brush out their coat prior to their bath.  We'll relieve their anal glands and follow with a thorough warm water bath.

We shampoo and rinse twice, using only cat-safe products, to ensure your kitty is really clean.  You'll have a choice of a wide variety of quality shampoos including deep cleaning, hypoallergenic (with colloidal oatmeal and aloe), medicated and more!  We'll rinse them completely removing all shampoo residue.  Then we'll apply an appropriate coat conditioner and carefully hand dry them. We'll end with a finishing brush out.

Trimming and Styling

Cats can be attractively trimmed and styled for a number of reasons.  Many owners of long haired cats like to have them trimmed to prevent matting and help the cat stay cleaner longer.  Trims can also help your cat be more comfortable in the heat of summer.

We can do a discrete tummy trim, a sleek all-over, a stylish lion cut, or a utilitarian "you're in the army now".
