As a feline-only salon, Trilling Cat offers you a lower-stress option for your cat's grooming needs. All team members are Fear Free Certified Professionals. We always perform the services that will enhance your cat's health and comfort first.
While we would love to have every cat leave the salon looking like a star, their health and comfort will always be our priority. We may request to divide the groom into multiple appointments so that the comfort shaving can be done at the first appointment. For additional information please see our Shaving Policy.

A Brazilian for cats, the inside of the thighs and the inner backs of the hind legs are shaved to make cleaning after a litter box break easier for your cat.
Similar to a Sanitary Trim, the Half Belly Shave continues up the stomach to about the belly button. Great for cats that get mats on their knees and up into their belly area.
The Full Belly Shave is wonderful for those cats with matting arm pits! It is a Half Belly Shave that continues up the stomach to their arms. If there is matting into the bib, we continue shaving through the matted areas.
A Lion Cut will give your cat a fresh start. This is what we recommend for cats with large or extensive matting or pelting. Your cat's head and legs will be left natural, and the tail will be left long if not matted. Or the tail can be in the pom-pom style if it is matted. Lion cuts are close shaves, leaving your cat with a very short coat.
A variation on the Lion Cut, the Bolero Cut stops behind the cat's front legs, leaving a short jacket.
If your cat has been groomed at Trilling Cat within the past 8 weeks, we can offer a Teddy Bear Cut. The shape is similar to a Lion Cut without being as short. Most Teddy Bear Cuts leave the length of the coat at about 1/2 inch.
We use a special shampoo that helps the coat let out fur that is about to shed. Most of this loose hair will come out in the bathing and drying. If your cat is creating fur storms throughout your home, ask about a de-shed treatment.
Some cats, primarily long haired, have toe tufts. While this is normally not an issue, some cats need a little help. For the cat that is getting older and having trouble slipping on slick floors, or the ones that just can't get all the litter out from between the toes, we offer the Toe Tuft Trim.
Soft Paws are nail caps that fit over your cats natural nails and are glued onto the nail itself. They provide extra protection for cats that are aggressive scratchers and swatters. The nail caps last from 4 to 8 weeks, typically longer for cats that are used to wearing them. Cats must be on a regular maintenance schedule for their Soft Paws.
Additional Fees are charged for cats that are in need of extra time. This is typically due to the condition of their coat or their temperament.
While a few small mats and tangles may be expected at most grooms, if your cat has large mats, pelting, or more than a few mats we do charge based on the time to remove the mats.
While some cats are not as fastidious as others, some are just plain dirty. Fecal stuck in the fur may also be an issue for a matted or pelted cat. We do sympathize with the problem, however, it is hard on our equipment so we need to charge an additional fee.
When the mats on a cat become so large they start to merge together, this is referred to as pelting. Pelting must be removed for the health and well being of the cat, but is very difficult and time consuming process.
We understand that some cats are frightened, some are painful, and some are both. We try very hard to find a way to groom your cat that is safe for both the cat and groomer. Sometimes there is no getting around the fact that we need to charge for an assistant and for the extra time and risk.
All cats should be on a monthly preventative for fleas and heartworms. If your cat is not, I suggest contacting your veterinarian and using a product they recommend. If your cat brings an active flea or other insect infestation to the salon, we will need to charge a fee in order to eliminate those left behind. We do not treat your cat for fleas or offer flea baths. This charge is to exterminate the salon.
Notice the butterfly pattern between the shoulders of this cat. He has a classic tabby pattern coat. A classic tabby has the swirls with a bull's eye on each side.
