We ask guardians to drop off their cat/s between 8:30-9AM. The cat is usually ready to go by 5:00PM. We can call your cell phone if done earlier.

Note: There are a few cats that we just can not do and we'll let you know this if we think we might have trouble or if your cat might need to be sedated. If you think your cat needs sedation, please ask your vet for a prescription before bringing them in for grooming.

Panty Shave
Sometimes poop gets stuck on tail hairs, so we trim the fur around the anal area as directed by the guardian. Some want it shaved down the back of the legs, some just the basic. If no specifics are given then we will give the basic panty shave around the anal area only.

Cost: $20 and up


Tummy Shave
Again this is directed by the guardian on how much we shave. Usually we start in the chest area down to the back of the legs.

Cost: $20 and up


Shave Mats
We shave the mats as directed by the guardian. Usually if your cat is heavily matted we recommend a body shave or Lion Cut. We also recommend a basic bath for your cat in order to help heal their irritated skin. We use Oatmeal as well as other medicated shampoos to help soothe your cat's skin.

Cost: $25 and up


Nail Trim / Softpaws®
We get lots of calls for just nail trims and you can come in anytime that the groomers are in the house - please call first or you may schedule an appointment. Soft Paws® available in clear, pink, purple, blue and red.

Nail Trim Cost: $10, $8 if boarding with us

Soft Paws® Cost: $28 front paws only / $38 front and back paws


Lion Cut
All body hair is shaved off. We leave the mane around the head, the legs and the tail. Guardians need to specify how they want the mane to look. Some cats get a "V" cut, some a round cut, and some get their faces trimmed and blended in. This also includes a basic bath as part of the package.

Cost: $65 and up


Body Shave
All hair is shaved off. We leave the mane around the head and shave partial 3/4 legs. Guardians need to specify how they want the mane to look. Some cats get a "V" cut, some a round cut, and some get their faces trimmed and blended in. This also includes a basic bath as part of the package.

Cost: $70 and up


Frontline®, Advantage®, Or Revolution®
When a cat is dropped off it is nice to find out if you may want a flea treatment applied. We can apply it after the bath. We charge by the dose, or we have packs of 6. However, The Cats' Inn is a a "no flea zone" so if your cat has fleas we will apply Frontline® at the guardian's expense.         

  • Advantage® kills fleas
  • Frontline® kills fleas and ticks
  • Revolution® kills fleas, ticks and helps prevent heart worms

Cost: $16.50 per dose for Frontline® Or Revolution®
          $14.50 per dose for Advantage®
