Health
To ensure the well-being of all pets in our care, we kindly request that you bring only healthy cats, free from parasites. This helps us maintain a safe and hygienic environment for everyone.
For the safety of all our furry clients and staff, we reserve the right to refuse grooming services to any cat exhibiting signs of illness or parasites.
Please understand that this policy is in place to protect the health of all animals and failure to adhere to it may result in forfeiture of your upfront payment
Safe arrival
For the safety and well-being of your cat(s), all cats must arrive in a secure, individual carrier. Shared carriers are strictly prohibited.
Even cats that are normally friendly, including those from the same household, can exhibit increased stress and aggression after grooming. Providing each cat with its own carrier minimizes the risk of injury.
Please be aware that some cats may require a period of isolation from other pets for several hours or even days following their grooming appointment to allow them to de-stress.
