Cosmic Paws Cat Grooming

05/25/2026

Our local humane shelter needs help clearing their kennels! Kitties and dogs galore! If you adopt a kitty in the next two weeks, I will offer half off services for a year!

Today is supposed to be about reflection, gratitude for our service members, family, and the unofficial start of summer. And while we absolutely want to pause and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country… we also need to make a very important announcement.

‼️‼️ Our shelter is at critical capacity‼️‼️

This morning, we responded to a tragic situation that resulted in the emergency intake of 6 cats and 2 dogs. Combined with the 10+ litters of puppies and kittens already flooding through our doors this week, owner surrenders continuing to rise, and more and more stray animals going completely unclaimed, we are officially in critical mode.

And we are not using that phrase lightly.

We are doing everything we possibly can to accommodate the animals depending on us: squeezing kennels, utilizing temporary spaces, coordinating fosters, rearranging rooms, and stretching every ounce of our resources.

⚠️But let us be very clear: We do not have the space (nor the staffing/funding) for the volume and pace in which animals are currently entering our care.⚠️

To put this into perspective, we currently have over 200 animals in our care (including fosters).
We do not have the capacity for that.

And it is not slowing down. We already have another 3 dogs and a minimum of 10 more cats scheduled to come in, all without any other options.

To show how serious this situation is, we are opening our doors 7 days a week for the next 2 weeks and waiving adoption fees on all adult dogs and cats.

‼️⏰ Our TEMPORARY Hours ⏰‼️
• Monday / Wednesday / Friday: 12–6
• Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday / Sunday: 12–4

If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your family… this is the time.

There are incredible dogs and cats sitting in shelters right now because someone didn’t come back for them. Because someone moved. Because someone had an accidental litter. Because life happened.

They deserve better than waiting in overcrowded kennels while we desperately try to give them the time, attention, and care they deserve.

If you can adopt, foster, volunteer, donate supplies, or even simply share our posts, now is the moment we need this community the most.

We will keep showing up. We just need help carrying the weight.

✨ Cosmic Paws is Expanding! ✨

I’m excited to announce expanded feline grooming services and updated pricing at Cosmic Paws. As I continue building my skills and expanding my services, these updates reflect both the continued growth of my grooming experience and the rising costs of providing quality care for your cats. 🐾💜

These updated prices reflect the time, care, and one-on-one attention feline grooming requires. Every cat is different, and I handle each appointment with your cat’s comfort and safety in mind.

Please note that all listed prices are starting prices and may increase based on your cat’s individual needs. Factors such as temperament, severe matting, flea infestations, extra cleaning, or appointments requiring additional time may result in added cost.

If I’ve already quoted you a price before your appointment, I’ll always discuss and approve any adjustments with you before getting started.

Thank you for trusting me with your kitties and supporting my small business! 🐈‍⬛

🐈‍⬛ Busting Spooky Cat Myths 🐈‍⬛
🐜 *Indoor Cats Can’t Get Fleas* 🐜
❗️FALSE❗️
Fleas are sneaky little hitchhikers that can tag along on your clothes, shoes, or even guests, then they make themselves right at home on your indoor cat. Work, school, even just from outside they can find their way inside through you and others in your household - including the ones living in your walls 🐭

Keep your kitty protected year-round with regular flea prevention (and a flea bath if things get itchy 🐾).

💬 Message me to schedule a flea bath or ask about prevention options!

Had a funny but true chat with my hair stylist the other day—fleas can get out of hand fast, even when you’re doing everything right. Those little freeloaders act like they pay rent! 🪳🐾

The good news? I’ve got your back (and your pet’s fur). I offer flea baths that kick those pests to the curb and offer tried and true advice on how to keep them from coming back!

📅 Booking is open now—before the fleas start thinking they own the place! Flea baths are only $20!

✨🐾 Why Brushing Long-Haired Cats Matters 🐾✨

Did you know that regular brushing is one of the most important things you can do for your fluffy friend? Long-haired cats, like Persians, Ragdolls, and Maine C***s, are especially prone to tangles and mats.

👉 When mats form, they pull on the skin, cause discomfort, and can even hide skin problems. Once the mats get too tight, the only option is to shave them out — and that’s no fun for kitty (or for me!).

A few minutes of brushing at home a few times a week keeps your cat’s coat smooth, shiny, and healthy — and makes grooming appointments easier and less stressful.

💡 Tip: Use a wide-tooth comb or slicker brush and start gently — turn brushing time into bonding time!

🐱 A happy, mat-free cat = a happy cat parent.

🪳😾 Public Enemy #1: FLEAS 😾🪳

Fleas are tiny, bitey MENACES, and they’ve declared war on your cats (and probably your ankles too). These little vampires can multiply fast and turn your cat’s world into one of pure itchy annoyance. 🙀

If your cat is scratching like they’re training for a tap dance recital, you probably have guests. Unwanted ones. The kind that don’t pay rent and reproduce like a bad horror movie. 😬

💦 The solution? A good ol’ fashioned flea bath!
I offer soothing, effective flea baths for just $20, and yes, your cat will probably shoot me some dirty looks, but they’ll thank us later. Let me be the bad guy! I’m happy to also help apply flea treatment and offer help and advice for combatting them!

✨ Bonus Flea Tips ✨
• Wash bedding and blankets regularly
• Vacuum like you’re trying to impress your grandma
• Treat all your pets, not just the itchy one. Try to put them on a monthly schedule for flea treatment
• Be sure to research your brands! Adams brand is under fire with lawsuits for their products harming cats, be sure yours is safe as well as effective!

Let me help you kick the fleas out — permanently. Message me to book a bath and let’s de-flea your feline!
