Athens,GA
01
Our Full Groom is for cats who need a haircut as well as a bath, such as long-haired cats prone to tangles, matted cats and cats who struggle in hot weather. A cat haircut keeps the coat manageable and comfortable, and we will talk through the length and style with you before we start.
02
A gentle, thorough cat bath with a skin-friendly shampoo, a careful rinse, a low-stress dry and a brush-out. Cat bathing is ideal for short-haired cats, cats with oily or dirty coats, and cats who cannot keep up with their own grooming.
03
A lighter option between full grooms. It keeps the coat tidy and comfortable without a full-body haircut.
04
Persians, Maine Coons, Ragdolls, Himalayans and Norwegian Forest Cats have coats that tangle quickly. Long haired cat grooming combines a bath, a thorough brush-out and, where needed, a haircut to prevent painful mats. Regular visits make each one easier on your cat.
05
Our cat deshedding add-on removes loose undercoat and dead hair, so there is less fur on your furniture and fewer hairballs for your cat. It starts at $15.59 and rises with coat length and thickness. It is especially helpful for heavy shedders and during seasonal coat changes.
06
Mats pull on the skin and can cause irritation and sores. Cat dematting starts at $20.79 and depends on the severity and location of the mats. We gently work out mats where it is safe to do so. If a coat is badly matted, a shorter cut is often the kindest option, and we will always talk to you first.
07
Stand-alone cat nail trims start at $31.19. Nail caps ($41.59, includes a nail trim) are a soft, cat-friendly option that protects furniture and skin. Nail painting is also available.
09
Older cats and anxious cats often need a slower pace and extra breaks. Tell us about arthritis, health conditions or past bad experiences when you book, and we will plan the visit around your cat.
08
Conditioning wrap for dry or itchy skin, a blueberry facial scrub (great for tear stains), a medicated soak and flea treatment are all available as add-ons.
We publish our starting prices so you know what to expect. The final price depends on your cat's coat length, thickness and condition, and on any add-ons.

Choose Cat Services and your preferred groomer, and tell us about your cat’s coat, age and any worries.
 We talk through the style you want and check your cat’s coat and skin.
Your cat is bathed, dried and groomed calmly, with one-to-one attention and breaks whenever they need them.
We call when your cat is ready and share tips for keeping the coat healthy between visits.
Time varies with coat length, mats and temperament, so we will give you a pick-up estimate at drop-off.
Cats notice everything, and a rushed groom is a bad groom. We keep things calm with quiet, gentle handling, a pace set by your cat and one-to-one attention.
If your cat is nervous, tell us in advance. We will work around them and stop to let them settle when needed. If your cat is very fearful or has bitten before, please let us know when you book so we can plan safely.
| Coat type | Examples | Suggested professional grooming |

| Short haired | Domestic Shorthairs, Siamese, Bengals | Every 8 to 12 weeks, or as needed |

These are general guidelines. Your cat's coat, health and lifestyle may call for more or fewer visits.
WHY IT MATTERS..
LOCAL CLIMATE & LIFE STYLE
A thick or matted coat holds heat and moisture. A regular groom, and a haircut for long-haired cats who suit it, keeps them cooler and more comfortable.
Our mild climate means fleas can be active for much of the year, even on indoor cats. We check for fleas while grooming, offer flea treatment as an add-on and will tell you if we find any, but we do not replace year-round prevention from your vet.
Cats shed more as seasons change. A deshedding session helps keep fur off your furniture and reduces hairballs.
Indoor cats still need nail care, coat care and a regular bath if they are overweight, older or long haired.
A friendly team of professional groomers and staff who know how to handle every breed and coat type. You can choose your preferred groomer when you book online.
Our tubs, tables, tools and grooming areas are cleaned between pets, so every pet gets a fresh, hygienic start.
Every pet gets personal attention, so your cat is never rushed and always feels secure.
You will know the price before we start.
