Cat Grooming in Cornwall, ON
We handle cats with patience and care so your feline leaves clean, calm, and looking sharp.
Why Cats Need Professional Grooming
Most cats groom themselves, sure. But they can't trim their own nails, remove mats behind their ears, or clean those hard-to-reach spots. Long-haired breeds especially need regular brushing to prevent painful tangles. Even short-haired cats benefit from a bath and Nail Trimming session a few times a year.
We see a lot of cats in Cornwall who come in with overgrown claws or matted fur their owners couldn't fix at home. It's not a failure on your part. Some cats just won't tolerate being brushed by their humans but they'll let us do it. We're trained to work quickly and calmly so your cat isn't stressed for long.
If your cat sheds everywhere or tracks litter dust through the house, a Deshedding Treatment and bath can make a huge difference. You'll notice less fur on your couch and fewer hairballs. Regular grooming also lets us spot skin issues, fleas, or lumps early so you can get them checked by your vet.
What's Included in a Cat Grooming Session
Every cat groom starts with a nail trim. We clip just the sharp tips so your furniture and skin stay safe. Then we brush out loose fur and work through any mats or tangles. If the mats are too tight, we'll carefully shave them rather than pull and hurt your cat.
Bath time uses cat-safe shampoo that won't dry out their skin. We rinse thoroughly, towel dry, and finish with a low-heat blow-dry if your cat tolerates it. Some cats prefer air-drying in a quiet kennel, and that's fine too. We also clean ears and check paw pads for debris or cracks.
Sanitary trims (around the rear and belly) are included for long-haired cats. It keeps them cleaner between baths and prevents litter from sticking. If you want a full lion cut or specific style, just ask. We do Breed Specific Grooming for Persians, Maine Coons, and other breeds that need extra attention.
How We Keep Cats Calm During Grooming
Cats aren't Dog Grooming clients. They don't wag their tails and hop into the tub. We get it. That's why we work in a separate, quiet area away from barking dogs. Low stress is the priority. We move slowly, talk softly, and give breaks if your cat needs them.
Most cats do best with a quick in-and-out appointment. We don't drag things out. If your cat is extremely anxious, we can split the groom into two shorter visits or recommend a mobile groomer who comes to your home. We've groomed plenty of spicy cats in Cornwall and the surrounding areas like Long Sault and Ingleside, so we know when to push gently and when to stop.
Sedation isn't something we offer. That's a vet thing. But we do use soft restraint tools like grooming loops and towel wraps to keep everyone safe. If your cat has bitten groomers before, let us know upfront. We'll take extra precautions and won't hold it against them. Cats are just being cats.
Pricing and Booking Your Cat's Appointment
A basic cat bath and nail trim starts around $50. Full grooms for short-haired cats run $60 to $80. Long-haired or matted cats are $80 to $120 depending on coat condition and temperament. If we need to do a lot of dematting or your cat needs frequent breaks, the price goes up a bit. We'll give you a quote when you book.
We're located in Cornwall and also serve clients from Morrisburg, Alexandria, and other nearby towns. Appointments fill up fast, especially in spring when cats are shedding like crazy. Call or text to book. We'll ask about your cat's temperament, any health issues, and what you want done.
First-time cat clients sometimes worry their cat will hate them afterward. Honestly, most cats forget about it within an hour and just enjoy being clean. If your cat is a repeat scratcher or biter, we might recommend a vet visit first to rule out pain or illness. But for the average grumpy house cat, we've got this.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I get my cat groomed?
Short-haired cats usually need grooming every 8 to 12 weeks. Long-haired breeds like Persians or Ragdolls do better every 6 to 8 weeks to prevent mats. If your cat sheds heavily or has skin issues, more frequent baths and {{service:deshedding-treatment}} sessions help. Nail trims should happen every 4 to 6 weeks whether you do them at home or bring your cat in.
Will you groom an aggressive cat?
We'll try. Most 'aggressive' cats are just scared, and we're used to working with them. We use gentle restraint and take breaks as needed. If your cat is truly dangerous or in pain, we'll stop and recommend a vet visit or sedated groom. We won't force it and risk injury to your cat or our team. Let us know your cat's history when you book so we can plan accordingly.
Do you shave cats in the summer?
We can, but it's not always necessary. A lion cut or full shave helps long-haired cats stay cool and reduces matting. But a cat's coat also protects them from sunburn and regulates temperature, so we don't shave down to the skin. We'll talk through options when you bring your cat in. A good brush-out and {{service:deshedding-treatment}} often does the trick without a full shave.
