I took my cat in for a lion cut, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Joanne did an incredible job especially—his fur is perfectly trimmed, soft, and even, with a clean and stylish mane that makes him look like a little lion. They were so gentle and patient, making sure he was comfortable the entire time. The attention to detail was impressive, and you can tell they truly care about the animals they groom. My cat looks adorable and feels so much better without all the extra fur. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for top-notch grooming!
Before relocating to Long Island I had a groomer who used to come to our home to groom my cat. Because of this, I was so nervous to drop him off and not be able to stay while he was groomed ... but they did NOT disappoint! They helped me to feel comfortable about the process, were reasonably priced and responsive, and my little guy came out looking awesome and in a timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone after today!
Lovely people here, truly care about your fur babies and are very patient even with wiggly sassy cats like mine. I usually can get in the same day if I call early.
After a great first experience with Pampered Paws, months later went to bring Dutton in for an appointment and the service was just as great. They take such good care of your pets and work around schedules. Always satisfied. Highly recommend!
There is no one on this planet who takes care of my cats like MANDY. She is the best and probably the ONLY cat groomer. I am so happy to have found her. My cats love her so much they never cry when I drop them off to get groomed. She is my #1 favorite cat whisperer!

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
