Home based Cat Grooming Salon

Home based Cat Grooming salon, which is feline exclusive grooming, operating from 1/38 Schneider Crescent Clarinda, Melbourne. Your cat will be groomed, one on one, by Angela who is a fully Certified Feline Master Groomer (CFMG).

Being one on one, Angela does not allow anyone else in the van to assist. It is safer with less distractions and it is a small space I work from. Cats that present with aggressive behaviour such as biting/swatting/hissing are not suitable for our services. We do not have a mobile service.

HOW TO BOOK CAT GROOMING

To make a booking, please text Angela on 0478970420 with a recent close up photo of your cat, your cats age, a bit about the cats temperament and the groom you are wanting. We can then arrange a time for you to come to me. By booking our services, you agree to our terms and conditions which are at the bottom of the page under the Legal tab.

Cat Groomer Melbourne

We work one on one with your cat and do not require help to help hold your cat whilst being groomed. For safety, we do not groom cats that present with aggressive behaviour.

Professionally Trained and Certified Feline Master Groomer

Having trained under one of Australia’s top cat groomers, Angela has received certification as a Certified Feline Master Groomer (CFMG).

Fantastic Felines is a member of the National Cat Groomers Institute of America (NCGIA).

The NCGIA are a certification association who set the international standards for cat groomers. They have certifiers worldwide which encourage groomers to provide the highest level results, care and service.

Cat Grooming Options

The cat grooming options available for your cat will be determined by a number of factors. Many of these factors are explained in the article here. These include, but are not limited to the cat’s condition, age, temperament, coat type, and breed, as well as the preferences of the individual owners. Lion cuts can not be done on aggressive cats or cats less than 18 months old. Expanding on this further, is an article on shaving cats.

PHOTOS OF GROOM OPTIONS

Illustrating some examples of available grooming options, such as a Lion Cut or Comb Cut are some pictures below. However, once we see your cat in person, we can better determine what groom will be best suited to your cat. Being a sedation free service, your cat MUST be comfortable with being handled to be suitable for our service.

Finally, you are able to read an article on the subject of cat grooming written by NCGIA founder Danelle German.

pricing

Pricing varies depending on the coat condition, the cats size and temperament toward grooming. Extra fees for matting are from $30 and varies depending on the severity. All clients are required to pay a $60 booking fee per cat for full grooming services to secure their appointment. This will be deducted from the final cost of your cats groom or can be kept on file for future appointments.

RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE

Once your cat is on the recommended 4,6 or 8 weekly grooming schedule and the coat is in good condition, a de-shed averages $140 and a haircut averages $130. De-sheds need to be done on on regular 4,6 or 8 weekly schedules. Outside of this schedule, the cat will need to be clipped in a comb cut or lion shave.

Our Happy Clients

“Angela come and groomed my 3 cats today (who have never been groomed before). They all loved it, especially our 8 year old Ragdoll who had a clip. He's like a kitten again and wanted to go back for more. So nice to find someone who explains everything and makes you feel at ease. Thank you :)"

“Angela is really FANTASTIC with FELINES!! Even though one of my cats is very timid and scared she did a wonderful job with her! I really love the lion cut too. I can highly recommend her!!!"

- Chantal

“Angela is the cat whisperer!!! I absolutely love and recommend Fantastic Felines to everyone who loves their cat. She is so professional and gentle. My cats had never been groomed before and they adored her and came out very happy with the experience. Can't recommend this service highly enough."

- Steph

"Finding Angela was a god send. Squeaky (a Persian X) gets the most matted coat. Finding a feline groomer that visits your home and safely grooms and clips is amazing!! Can highly recommend her!"
