*Severity of Matting
Moderately matted means less than half of the body in matts without any on the underside, face or neckWe are unable to safely groom severely matted cats due to the stress on the cat, elevated risk of cuts, clipper irritation, overheating, and risk to the groomer. We request that you talk to your vet.
CAT GROOMER CHCH
Fear-free handling
We use fear-free handling techniques and will never scruff your fur baby during the grooming process. We use utilise positive reinforcements like treats and short breaks to minimise the stress of the grooming process. We groom one cat at a time and never have two in the same room unless they are from the same household.
No Anaesthetic, No Sedation
Taking your cat to the vet to be groomed requires anaesthetic or sedative drugs. This possesses a risk and can be costly. At Cat Groomer Christchurch, we do not sedate.
Experienced cat groomer
I have previous experience working in vet clinics, I am very knowledgeable in cat behaviour and dealing with anxious felines. I will always put the cat's wellbeing first and aim to minimise the stress they experience.
