CAT GROOMING KITTEN GROOMING CAT LOOKING AWESOME
At Touch of a Paw Spa we will always make sure your cat looks and feels PURRRFECT!
Grooming your cat regularly helps keeping its coat nice and clean, it can also reduce the shedding of hair, the cleaning around your house and in many cases it can also help diminish the occurrence of cat's "hairballs". In addition to this, with the Nail Trim and Ear Cleaning that are included in our Cat's Services you will help your cat to prevent the painful splitting of nails, the scratches to furniture and to yourself, and the build-up of dust and dirt in your cat's ears.
Your cat will love coming to our spa! We schedule specific appointments designed exclusively for cats, to ensure a very quiet and low stress environment during the grooming appointment.
With us, you can rest assured that your cat is in the most caring and lovable hands. Our team of professional pet groomers will make your life easier and your cat happier while looking at its best.
One of our groomers will personally meet with you at your arrival to discuss your cat’s specific needs and to provide you with some recommendations for the right service to choose.

Additional Grooming Services for Cats
Lion Cut
A lion cut involves trimming down the fur like a "buzz cut" with the exception of the head, feet and the end of the tail. Please talk to one of our professional cat groomers to find out what is the most suitable hair style for your cat.
Dematting
Please keep in mind that we maintain a Pain Free Policy in all of the treatments and services that we offer at our Spa. Demating your cat by hand may be a very long and painful procedure and for that reason we DO NOT do it. Never the less, if your cat has only one or two small knots and depending on the location of the knots, we may be able to get them out without pain and without having to shave the cat. If the matting is all over your cat, without doubt the best solution is a Lion-Cut and to get your cat in a grooming program to avoid future matting and to avoid all the infections and medical complications that matting could bring to the skin of your cat. Please contact us to discuss your cat's condition, keep in mind that the sooner you treat the matts the easier it will be for your cat.
Spot (selective) Shaving
We offer selective hair trimming, such as sanitary shaving and belly shaving. Please contact us with any quesions you may have here.
Flea Bath Treatments
We offer flea bath treatments for cats but it is very important for you to know that for this treatment to be successful you have to make sure that the cat will be going back to live in an environment that is completely free of fleas. A Flea Bath Treatment will get rid of only the fleas that are on the cat but will not prevent re-infestation and will not prevent any flea-eggs from hatching after the bath. We strongly suggest that you follow a Flea Bath Treatment immediately with an external treatment like "Zodiac for Cats", which is available for sale at our Spa. Please do not buy just Zodiac from the pet store as this product is for dogs and can be very harmful to cats. If your cat is having serious problems with fleas and the over-the-counter products don't seem to work, we strongly suggest that you consult your veterinary for other flea treatments that require prescription but that may be more effective, like Advantage and Revolution which are external treatments, or Sentinel which is a pill.
Sedation of cats for treatments
We do not sedate cats or any other pets for any of our treatments. We are not legally allowed to use full sedation (general anesthetic) as that needs to be done under strict veterinarian supervision. Never the less we have available at our spa calming lavender essences, collars and herbal (non-medicinal) options to help your kitty relax. It is ideal to use any of these relaxing products about half an hour before your appointment. Please note that we cannot administer any medications to your cat and we encourage consulting your vet prior to giving anything to your cat to make sure it will be ok for you to use it.
