Why Groom a Cat?

“Small 2 Topping Pizza”

This includes a preliminary brush out to keep from washing fur we aren’t keeping, a wash with a generic degreaser to get the fur a deep clean, and then a second wash in the groomer’s choice of shampoo based on coat and skin needs.

“Medium 2 Topping Bath”

Mediumhair is classified as long fur with the shorthair texture, usually characterized with the less frequent shedding that longhair enjoys, but without the matting that comes with it. Same as the “Small 2 Topping Pizza” (Shorthair Bath).

“Large 2 Topping Pizza”

Longhair is generally light and flossy, like cotton candy and must be washed, dried, and brushed to prevent mats. This may create a longer groom time if the cat does not like the dryer, but is crucial to their care.

“Personal 2 Topping Pizza”

This is to accommodate young cats and hairless breeds that require less shampoo to wash. Adding ”Jalapeños” (Flea Shampoo) to this bath is only $15 more.

“Easy Bake 2 Topping Pizza”

This is to accommodate small kittens that require even less shampoo to wash. Adding “Jalapeños” (Flea Shampoo) to this bath is only $10 more.

A deluxe bath that replaces the generic degreaser for Les Poochs Botique’s F&T Degreaser and Dematter to get that even deeper clean, followed by two scrubs with the Chubbs Bars soap with the scent of your choosing from the available selection.

After that, a quick layer of Chris Christensen’s Top Cat: “Clean Start,” is applied, then from the same line, the appropriate color brightening shampoo, and either “Shine” for shorthair cats or “Volume” for medium and longhair. The bath is then concluded with a quick splash of “Finishing Rinse,” bringing the bath to seven steps of pampering!

“Add Jalapeños”

This adds a Flea Treatment Shampoo between the degreasing and final shampoo. Left on for 5 to 10 minutes, the shampoo kills present fleas in all life stages, breaking up the infestation and allowing medication to finish them off. The shampoo itself does not have any preventative properties.

“Kitty Drink”

This is a shave around the privates, the base of the tail, and the pants to help longhair cats, messy poopers and chunky monkeys keep themselves clean.

“Small Drink”

The same as the “Kitty Drink” (Fanny Clip), but also includes shaving the inner thighs and across the “crotch” area. This is good if the cat dribbles or sits in litter to keep from tracking or getting too dirty.

“Medium Drink”

The same as the “Small Drink” (Brazilian), but also includes the stomach, up to the chest, between the front two legs, and the armpits. Ideal for long hair that lays directly on the ground and tracks debris, or cats that drip water onto their chests.

“Large Drink”

An all over shave leaving a mane around the head, fur right up over the front elbows, and your choice of a full tail, Pom Pom tail, or a shaved tail.

*The price increases $10 for every fifteen minutes beyond an hour it takes to complete the shave for difficult temperaments or matted coats etc.

*+15 for “Jalapeños” (Flea Shampoo)

“X-tra Large Drink”

The same as the “Large Drink” (Lion Cut), but the cut goes closer to the head and rounds it off, and goes further down the “sleeves” to create the effect of wearing onesie pajamas.

“Slushie/Pizza Combo”

A comb cut pulls fur through a blade guard to keep it a certain length when shaving. For safety purposes, groomers do not use traditional scissors on cats, and only the #10 blade is recommended for shaving. If you only want to “take a little off,” this is only achievable with the blade guard and vacuum attachment. This service is not available to shorthair cats, and the bath is required at full price.

“Fries”

This is a nail trim by itself. It becomes $10 for three or more cats at a time from a single family.

“Curly Fries”

I often do this with my full size clippers if I already have them out for another shave service on the cat, but for an additional charge, I can pull out my precision clippers made just for this purpose and really excavate those toe beans.

“Small Chili Fries”

Bring Soft Paws you purchased at a retailer for us to apply for you. These are nail caps for the claws to lessen effects of scratching and are applied to the front, ten nails.

“Small Chili Fries with Extra Cheese”

If you haven’t bought your own Soft Paws, we can provide them from our inventory.

“Regular Chili Fries”

The caps you bring will be applied to the front, ten nails, and the back, eight nails to also lessen the effects of the bunny kicks.

“Regular Chili Fries with Extra Cheese”

We apply the Soft Paws to the front and back nails with appliqués from our inventory.

“Side Salad”

A thorough brush out with several different combs to remove loose fur. Bathes already come with a brush out, but may incur an additional charge if the brush out takes a significant amount of time.

“Salad Buffet”

This is an additional cost incurred if the Basic Brush Out takes twenty minutes or longer.

“The Pepper Challenge”

Sometimes a flea bath is just not enough! It can kill a chunk of the population on your cat, but we sadly cannot use the medicated shampoo on their faces, and this is a favorite spot of fleas. Capstar is an oral tablet that is safe to use alongside the flea bath, and after two hours from taking it, will poison any fleas that bite your cat in the next 24 hours, finishing off stragglers and keeping the little buggers from re-establishing a foothold while you clear your home!

Get your Neat Cat a “Pizza with Jalapeños” (Bath with Flea Shampoo), “The Pepper Challenge” (Capstar), and have them spend the night in the “Party Tent” (temporary kennel) while the Capstar works its magic and you clean or bomb your house to make SURE those little buggers are GOOD. AND. GONE!

For a flat, additional fee, regardless of distance, I can bring portable equipment into your home. Please have your cat(s) isolated, preferably in a bathroom where I can have access to water, an outlet and a trashcan.
