Things to consider

• Cat breed
• Temperament? 
• Be honest if kitty is aggressive 
• Health issues
• Coat condition 

Professional grooming includes the basics to help maintain a clean and healthy cat including nail trimming, a bath to cleanse & degrease the skin and fur, a blow dry which helps with shedding; coat condition and hairball reduction, brushing/de-shedding, de-matting and a sanitary shave for cleanliness of older and long-haired cats. Add ons such as toe tuft removal, belly shaves, teethbrushing and are available as well as Kitten and Senior packages. 

The National Cat Groomers Institute of America and the Cat Fanciers Association recommend the following grooming schedule for cats:-

Long-haired: every 4-6 weeks 

Medium-haired: every 6-8 weeks 

Short-haired: every 8-12 weeks      

Matting is 100% preventable. Professional Grooming based on a maintenance schedule will eliminate this plus shedding, hairballs and other unpleasantries. Repeated matting due to lack of grooming or scheduled maintenance will be subject to extra charges or in extreme cases referral to a Vet***
