Do cats really need to be groomed?
When it comes to grooming cats, a common miss understanding is that cats are “self-cleaning”, but that’s not the case! Imagine this.... let's put a fur coat on you, & you wear it for a number of years. Meanwhile you can only freshen up by licking yourself. How clean would you feel?
Just like dogs, many cats spend a lot of time outside where they climb through bushes, play around in yards, catch mice, or get caught in the rain. This can cause just as many hygiene problems as dogs that cat owners tend to overlook - especially because outdoor cats tend to not be around as much as outside dogs.
Indoor cats still need to be taken care of as well. Their coats act like dust mops collecting dust from places like under the bed. No doubt we all know that cats shed, most cat owners rarely groom their cats as much as dog owners, which means that most cats are well overdue for a proper pampering.
But have you ever tried to bathe a cat? Or clip its nails? It can be more difficult than grooming a dog potentially leaving you with scratches & a lot of frustration. When not groomed with consideration of the cats' feelings, they can end up traumatized by the experience which will cause them to have anxiety at any future bath attempts.
At Catastrophe Cat Grooming we offer full-service cat grooming, using nothing but patience - we never force a cat to do anything it doesn't want to do. Another important detail - we listen to the cats. They do have a language, & when they tell us they need a break, we give them one.
Our unique approach to kitty baths, never, ever includes the use of tie-downs, restraints, leads, harnesses, or sedation. Cats are a free spirit, & they don't do well being restrained. We show them something different. Most cats are happy to let us groom them - gently, patiently, respectfully.
We ask that prior to your cat's appointment, please do not give them tranquilizers, sedation, C.B.D., or any other type of mind-altering substances. We will have to reschedule the appointment & send them home.
We go above & beyond to keep your cat relaxed, clean, comfortable, beautiful, & healthy! At Catastrophe Cat Grooming, we work hard to earn you, & your kitty's trust. We want you to know that your fur babies are always treated with respect. They are safe with us.
Our groomers are happy to share a few grooming tips & tricks that you may want to try out at home. We believe that educating people about stress-free grooming is in the cat's best interest. Consistent, patient, grooming is a great way of bonding & shows the cat that they are loved. Cats will live longer, be happier, & enjoy good health.

Our full-transparency policy allows first-time clients to stay & watch the cats bath. We encourage you to plan to stay with your cat for the first 15 minuets to be there for the bath. This gives both you and your kitty some reassurance. The best way to get them to trust us, is by having the person they trust the most right there.
As we work, we share with you a few tips & tricks that we have developed. Tricks that have been proven, time after time to have great results. We love to teach cat parents how we groom, that way if you decide later that you'd like to try cat grooming at home, you'll be prepared with a few key concepts that cats truly appreciate.

We're open daily, with appointments available between 10 AM & midnight.
Our goal is to be available for all cat parents, regardless of your schedule.
Our goal is to take the stress out of grooming for both you & your cat.
For that reason the brush-out & blow-dry are live streamed on Instagram so you can see exactly how your little one is doing. (you can request not to have your cat filmed, if you prefer).
