Our Grooming Services & Pricing

First Time Kitty Clients To The Salon:

 When cats visit the Salon for the first time, it is usually because they already have coat issues.  Quite often due to knots, matting, grease or worse. 

Here at Awesome Paws Cat Grooming, we are trained to provide a full, professional cat grooming service for your cat. Most coat issues start at the skin and as such, the only way to address the problems includes a professional bath. This is a key part of a professional groom, achieving the best results and is the kindest grooming service for a cat.  All cats who enter our Salon leave having received the best care and top quality groom.   

As the Professional Cat Groomer, our aim is to advise the customer of the options available to you in mind of the cat’s best interests and welfare.  We will not carry out a service which we deem unsuitable for a cat either due to a cat’s coat condition, age, health, weight, temperament or even homelife. Therefore, please note the following information is for guidance purposes, as until we meet and physically assess a cat, we cannot determine fully if your cat will be suitable for any of our grooming services.

A cat with coat issues will likely always have coat issues.  As such we see the first time visit as a Discovery Groom.  We get to know your cat and his / her coat and your cat starts to learn that cat grooming can be pleasant and not to be feared!  Therefore, first time grooms often take a little longer and due to the unpredictability of the work required.  However, our hope is we start to see your cat regularly following our recommended maintenance grooming schedule so we can keep your cat comfortable and beautifully groomed throughout the year.

Please Note:

We do not groom aggressive cats, cats showing signs of poor health, transmittable diseases or parasites, under Veterinary medical care (unless referred by a Vet or Vet approved for grooming), nor cats who have become too stressed during their journey to the Salon. We also do not undertake ‘ spot shaves’, ‘dry grooms’ ‘brush outs’ or what we consider to be services of a substandard grooming service and a disservice to both you and your cat.

Before We Agree To Groom A Cat:

All customers are required to complete our online Intake Form.

This asks a number of important questions about your cat, including coat issues, health, background and homelife. When we receive and review the information, we may have further questions for you or your Veterinarian before we will agree to groom your cat. In some situations, we may consider your cat unsuitable for our grooming services, which will be for the safety of both cat and groomer.

Professional Deshed Treatment:

For cats who are shedding excessively in the home.  A cat needs to be on a constant 6 – 8 weekly maintenance schedule to really see the benefits and this may not be possible for a first time professional groom at the Salon, but as an Add On to a Maintenance Groom.

A professional & gentle deshed treatment to help remove any shedding coat with additional products, plus our state of the art professional deshed equipment.  Suitable for long haired, medium and short-haired cats.

Price:  Add On From £10.00

Lion Clip Style:

This is a clip which can closely resemble ‘a lion’.  The main body area is clipped very short, close to the skin, leaving a velvet like texture, the lower leg hair is kept, the head and neck hair kept full with the option for a full or pom pom tail.

This is an add on to the Awesome Comfort Groom.

However, if a cat is badly matted or pelted, this will likely be the only grooming option available and the finished result will depend on the coat condition and what hair can be saved.

The Lion Clip can be for cats with high maintenance coats which their family struggle to maintain, suffer from excessive furballs or cats who are genuinely happier with such a short coat – We have customers who tell us how their cat turns from couch potato to reliving their youth as a lively kitten after their Lion Clip!

Prices:  Add On From £40.00 and subject the groomers professional judgement (underweight, Seniors, cats with health issues may not be suitable for this groom).

Bolero Clip Style: 

For a cat whose coat is in great condition from neck to mid body, but is badly matted / pelted from mid way along the back to the tail and underside only.  The customer may be offered this by the Groomer as an alternative to a full Lion Clip.   

This is an Add On to the Awesome Comfort Groom. 

Prices:  Add On From £20.00 and subject to coat condition and groomers professional judgement.

Teddy Bear / Comb Clip Style:

For longhaired / medium haired cats with a high maintenance coat and happier with a shorter coat (but not as short as the Lion Clip) .  Often, the finish is not particularly neat and crisp (thus where the resemblance to a Teddy Bear comes from).  The groom takes a lot of preparation work as it needs to be totally knot free, meticulously clean and totally dry before clipped.  This is an Add On to the Awesome Comfort Groom, with the coat clipped short to between ½ to ¾ inch of hair using clipper comb attachments.

As the coat needs to be totally free of dead coat, knots and matts before being clipped, it is highly unlikely this style will be possible for a first time visit to the Salon.  Your groomer can discuss with you your options going forward and does require a cat to be on a good maintenance schedule of around 6-8 weeks (depending on coat).

Prices:  Add On From £40.00 for first time Clip.  If kept in this style for maintenance grooms, this may reduce subject to coat condition.
