Cat Grooming in Baltimore, MD
A quiet, cats-only salon where one groomer works with one cat at a time — and takes a break the moment your cat needs one.
Cats Are Not Small Dogs
A cat on a busy dog-grooming floor hears barking, smells strangers and waits in a crate for hours. That is where most bad grooming experiences start. So we groom cats and only cats: one quiet room, appointments on the hour so no one waits, and a groomer who reads a cat's body language and stops before stress becomes fear. If a groom needs to happen in two short visits, it happens in two short visits.

Services & Prices
Every appointment starts with a hands-on coat check. Prices are for one cat; heavy matting is quoted before we begin.
Bath & Blow-DryFrom $75
A gentle bath, a low-noise blow-dry and a full comb-out. $75 for short coats, $90 for long coats like Persians and Maine coons.
Lion Cut$110
Body clipped short, with a full mane, boots and tail tip — cool, tidy and mat-free. Includes the bath and blow-dry.
De-Mat & Comb-OutFrom $85
Mats worked out gently where the skin allows, clipped away where it doesn't. Quoted after the coat check.
Sanitary & Belly Trim$45
A tidy of the rear, belly and back legs for long-haired cats between full grooms.
Nail Trim$22
A quick, calm nail trim. Book on its own or add it to any groom for $12.
Kitten Intro$50
Up to six months. A short first visit — a little brushing, a nail trim and lots of praise — so grooming is never scary.
Built Around How Cats Feel
A quiet room
No barking, no dryers roaring across a busy floor, no other animals in sight.
No waiting
Appointments run on the hour, so your cat goes straight from carrier to table and back.
Handled, not held down
We use towels, patience and breaks. If a cat needs more than that, we stop and talk to you.
What Happens At An Appointment
A two-minute coat check
We look at the coat with you, decide together what your cat needs and confirm the price before anything starts.
Carrier to table, no crate
Your cat comes straight out of their own carrier onto the table. No holding kennel.
Groomed in short stretches
Most grooms take forty-five to ninety minutes, with breaks whenever your cat asks for one.
Back in the carrier, home
We call when your cat is ready. Most people wait nearby or come back within the hour.
Every Coat, Every Personality
From Cat People Who Have Tried Everything
Our Persian used to come home from the dog groomer shaking. Here she was done in under an hour, in a quiet room, and she came home asleep in her carrier instead of hiding under the bed.
They stopped halfway, called me, and finished the lion cut two days later so he didn't get overwhelmed. I have never had a groomer offer that.
My senior cat has arthritis and can't be stretched out on a table. They groomed her lying on a towel, a little at a time. She looks ten years younger.
Start Your Kitten Off Calm
A $50 kitten intro is a short, gentle first visit — a little brushing, a nail trim and plenty of praise — so grooming never becomes the scary part of their life.
The Kind Way To Deal With Mats
Cat skin is thin and tears easily, and tight mats pull on it constantly. Combing them out by force hurts, so we don't. Loose tangles get worked out gently; mats against the skin are clipped away, and a very matted cat may be best served by a lion cut that lets the coat start fresh. We always show you the coat and quote the time before we begin.

Before You Bring Your Cat
How much does cat grooming cost in Baltimore?
Cat grooming in the Baltimore area usually runs $70–$130 depending on coat and condition. Our baths start at $75, lion cuts are $110 and nail trims $22. Heavy matting is quoted after the coat check.
How long does an appointment take?
Forty-five to ninety minutes for most grooms. Because appointments run on the hour, your cat never waits in a kennel.
What vaccinations do you need?
Current rabies for adult cats; kittens up to date on the shots your vet gives at their age. Email a copy or bring it with you.
Do you sedate cats?
No. Only a veterinarian can sedate a cat safely. If a cat can't be groomed calmly, we stop, talk to you, and may suggest your vet.
My cat is aggressive at the vet. Can you still groom them?
Often, yes — a quiet room with no dogs changes a lot. We work in short stretches and will split a groom over two visits if that's kinder.
How often should my cat be groomed?
Long-haired cats usually do best every six to ten weeks; short-haired cats mostly need a bath and nail trim a few times a year, or when they shed heavily.
