Why cat-only

Cats need care that understands them

Cats are sensitive, territorial and quick to shut down under stress. Grooming one well is a different craft to grooming a dog — so it’s the only thing we do.

Cats aren't small dogs

Different skin, different coat, different nervous system. We only groom cats, so nothing about our handling is borrowed from a dog salon.

No carrier, no car ride

The two most stressful parts of a salon groom happen before it even starts. We remove both — the van parks outside your home.

One cat at a time

No cages, no queue, no other animals. Your cat has one groomer and their full attention from the first minute to the last.

We read the room

Flattened ears, a flicking tail, a shift in weight. We watch for it constantly and slow down or stop before it ever becomes a struggle.

Our services

Complete care for every cat

From a straightforward bath to a full lion cut, every service is done one cat at a time in a van built for the job.

How it works

Four steps, about an hour

No drop-off, no pick-up, no waiting room. Here’s exactly how a visit runs.

01

Book a slot

Pick a day through the form or call us. We confirm within a few hours and hold a window that suits your cat’s routine.

02

We park at your door

The van arrives self-contained — its own power, hot water and filtered air. Nothing needs to come out of your home except the cat.

03

One-on-one groom

Bath, dry, comb, nails, ears. You’re welcome to watch through the window or leave us to it, whichever your cat prefers.

04

Home in about an hour

Your cat comes straight back inside, clean and dry, with a short note on their skin, coat and what to watch for next.

Booking now

Your cat's next groom, without the carrier.

Tell us a little about your cat and we’ll come back within a few hours with a time that suits their routine.
