Price & Booking guide

Visit my website or text 0466 964 102 to book. I know many of you have questions so ask away!

I appreciate the following info if you can
-your suburb
-each cats name, age, breed or coat type
-are they greasy, knotty or matted?
-have they been groomed before?
-do you have flat parking within 35m of a power point and garden tap?
-service you are after

To book you in, I need your full name, address & mobile number. Once you’ve selected a date, I will create your booking and send a payment link for the 50% deposit. Please pay within 24hrs to secure your appointment. Existing clients will still be required to pay a deposit if they have not pre booked for the year.

You’ll get a confirmation text 3 days before your appointment to confirm services. If you don’t confirm through the link, I will text you to confirm. Unconfirmed appointments will lose their booking and deposit. You must cancel 48hrs+ to get your deposit back. Just send me a message or cancel through the link and I will refund your deposit. If you need to change the required service, the same rules apply. If you change the service to a lower time/ priced service with less than 48hrs notice, I will still charge for the original service as I cannot fill your spot easily.

Please ensure parking is available and your cats are ready. I will keep your deposit and send you an invoice for the remaining 50% if your cat is no where to be found, there is no parking or anything else prevents me from working as I cannot fill your spot.

Lower prices are available to those who pre-book or take less time. I will always quote the highest price and adjust later.

You can by cash or card in person. If you require bank transfer or invoice, please notify me prior to your booking so you have time to pay before I arrive.

I can groom in most locations but some are unsuitable. I need flat parking and access to power and water. My cords cannot run across a road or driveway. My van cannot go underground. Please text me if you are unsure as I will keep your deposit if I arrive and I cannot set up to groom.

From today, July 1st 2026, all invoices must be prepaid.

Effective 1/8/26, I am changing my pricing. Text me to book old prices. It will be based on your schedule and you must be pre-booked to access lower prices. Online booking now also requires a 50% deposit. So will 12+ weekly or new clients as unfortunately I have had a lot of late cancellations, changes to booked services and no shows.

I’m very understanding so please just message me and we can discuss options. I can work around almost anything so long as I am shown mutual respect. Wasting my time costs me money and that money is being taken straight from my cats!! …and my family!

New clients, please be aware that the price may be lower if the grooms takes less time. The available pricing on my website is to cover everyone.

Thank you for understanding!

‘Cats are self grooming’

No they aren’t! At least not in the way you think or in every way it matters.

Flys, birds, monkeys and so many other species are also self grooming. Self grooming refers to the habitual behaviour of licking, scratching and picking one’s body to remove parasites, debris, food, loose coat, faeces, urine, clean wounds, etc. It can be a social behaviour to bond, spread their scent and maintain their coat.

So why do cats need grooming and what counts as grooming?

Cats need grooming the same way a child or elderly human needs assistance with doing their hair, doing their nails and maintaining their hygiene. Because sometimes self grooming isn’t enough.

As cats age, they can no longer reach their own body, cope with the effort it takes or their skin and coat changes in a way that is no longer manageable with their tongue and saliva.

Cats are not always eating natural foods and we’ve bred them to a point that they no longer have natural coats in their natural environments.

Faeces and urine collects around their bum, they no longer scratch their posts to remove the outer layers of their nails, their coats get greasy causing matting and furballs, they develop allergies, disabilities or medical conditions that impact their coats and ability to groom them.

Their dental health can affect their coat. Bacteria filled, sore mouths cannot clean their coat. Their weight can affect their ability to maintain enough energy to clean themselves and reach their own bodies.

If we can acknowledge these risk factors, we can also acknowledge that they need help. Starting professional and home grooming at a young age or as early as possible is essential for your cats wellbeing. The older they are, the less likely they will cope with being groomed a starting asap is doing what is best for your cats wellbeing.

Did you know cats can die from the stress of being groomed? But cats can also die from not being groomed. Cats can be severely injured from matting being torn from or tearing open their skin. Cats can suffer from parasitic infestations or skin infections. Cats can be severely injured from foreign objects piercing their skin after getting stuck on a matt. Cats can die from an intestinal blockage caused by a greasy furball blocking their intestines or from complications from surgery. Cats can die from a hidden injury under a matt. I have seen multiple examples of cats who needed urgent veterinary care from everything listed above. What do you think could’ve prevented that cats suffering?

So why not reduce stress, reduce risks and maintain a healthy cat by grooming at home or with a professional? Oh yeah, cause cats groom themselves. The same way every other wild animal who selfs grooms does. But they get skin infections, parasitic infestations, matting, etc too. They need veterinary care too. Humans step in and step up for them too.

This isn’t about money to me. It’s about education, the welfare of cats and changing societies perception of these amazing animals who self groom but who could be better taken care of with our knowledge and assistance.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I’m trying to get through everyone messages, appointment requests and pre bookings for the year as well as enjoy the holidays with my family.

I’ve been a bit overwhelmed this December but I am very grateful for all the bookings and requests being made. I apologise to those that are still waiting but we should be all sorted before the new year.

Thank you all for a wonderful year. I’ve gained many beautiful clients and you have all made it possible for me to be a mum, pay my bills and work the best job in the world!

Thank you for all the gifts I received too!

Another post will be coming shortly as how I run the business will be changing as my oldest starts school.

Text 0466 964 102 to book. I’ll add my usual questions below, feel free to answer them in your text enquiry. Once a date & time is offered, the spot will only be held for 24hrs.

-What service are you after? (Price list is posted on my page. If you are unsure, we can discuss over text)
-What suburb are you located?
-Cats breed or coat type?
-Cats age?
-Has your cat ever been professionally groomed before?
-Is the coat greasy or is there dandruff?
-Are they knotty, matted, compacted or pelted?
-Do you understand the possibility of being charged $25/15m if the groom takes longer than expected? (Cats behaviour, coat condition or needing the dryer on low are the most common reasons the groom takes longer)
-Do you understand that I charge $50 even if no grooming can be completed? (This covers my time, fuel, etc) (injury on cat, cats behaviour or unsuitable work conditions are potential reasons you may be charged)

Thank you!
