RECOMMENDATION:
Have you taken your cat to a vet clinic in 7 days prior your cat grooming appointment? We recommend to reschedule your appointment with Groomzy. It is often a traumatic/ stressful event to cats. Therefore they can be very scared or defensive. Please give time it's little soul to calm down. Please reschedule your appointment if it happened!
Have you taken your cat to a boarding facility? Please also give a week or even two weeks of love and lots of hug at home before you take her/him to us. Thank you!
TIP: Please book your appointment before you go on a holiday, therefore your cat sitter or staff of cat boarding facility do not have pressure on keeping fur non matted.
DEPOSIT FEE:
We take $70 deposit fee per cat. If you have 2 cats we take $140 deposit fee etc...
Please pay your deposit fee until the requested deadline through a secured portal link, sent by text message or it may be offered to another client.
MATTED CAT POLICY:
We are no longer accept cats with significant matting or pelting. Removing mats can be painful for your cat and puts your groomer at a far greater risk of injury. Not to mention it can be 3-5 hours by a cat groomer, so we do not offer this service. Also, often skin is inflamed under matted fur which needs to be properly treated by vet clinic. If your cat attends an appointment and is deemed to be badly matted or pelted, service will be refused and the $70 deposit fee will be forfeited. We recommend all bad mat removal be performed by your vet under sedation. Our mission statement is to create happy and healthy relationships between cats and their people through regular preventative skin and coat maintenance. A clean cat is a happy cat.
DESEXING POLICY:
Please note, the minimum waiting time for your cat to be groomed after desexing. Please confirm with your vet that the cat is fine to be groomed after desexing. These are recommendations only and must be confirmed with your vet.
We are unable to groom cats that have given birth within the last 3 months.
Females: Minimum 3 weeks
Males: Minimum 2 weeks
AGGRESSIVE CATS: We are cat groomers, we do not sedate cats. Therefore, we are only able to work on cats who are friendly and let us to handle them! Please book your aggressive cat with a vet clinic for an anaesthetic shave down. If you bring an aggressive cat to us and we are not able to work on your cat, the $70 deposit fee will be forfeited.
Please take your cat to us only if your cat is completely healthy, also there are no parasites inside it's fur nor it's body. Furthermore, your cat is friendly and can tolerate a two hours handling. You will have to drop your cat off and pick up. If you want to stay and watch, Groomzy is not your cat groomer salon. If you bang on our walls/windows, shouting inside the salon while we are working on cats, service will be refused immediately and the entire booking fee plus the entire service fee will be forfeited!
Thank you for your understanding!
