Grooming Pricelist

All grooming is carried out by staff who have washed, clipped and dried thousands of cats. To us, it isn’t just a job. Cats need to be happy and healthy, so if we can do our bit to help, it makes the occasional nip or scratch worthwhile!

HEALTH CHECK – ALL cats get a free weight check, Body Condition Score (to check for thinness or obesity), arthritis check (pain management is important) and dental check when they come for a groom.  This is a free service at the Cat Palace to help your cat be comfortable is themselves.  If your cat requires a sedation, then Dr Kim Kendall does the full health check prior to administering any sedative.

The washing price depends on the weight of your cat, the density of the coat and the whether an assistant in needed. Washing is highly recommended for the comfort of your cat especially if their coat has been knotted for a while.
