A Whisker Away Professional Feline Grooming and Pet Sitting I was born in Bowness, Calgary and my family moved to Cochrane in 1984 when the population was less than 4,000!

It was an ideal place to grow up and after a few moves and some eye-opening world travel, I am once again a Cochranite, although the town is much different than when I first moved into Calgary almost fifteen years ago. I am a self-admitted crazy cat lady and an all-around animal nut through and through. My life has been filled with critters of all kinds; from many types of domestic pets to a wide

variety of farm animals, as well as wild and semi-wild animals. I can't imagine it any other way. I am certified in pet first aid and worked for years in veterinary hospitals, both family and emergency. I look forward to adding your furry, feathery and scaley family members to my extended critter family. Contact me today to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pets!

This beautiful kitty has been waiting a long time for her furever home! Give Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society - AARCS a call to meet Alameda!

This gorgeous girl has been looking for a furever home for over a year. 💔 Please share this post far and wide to help her find a purrfect match! 🙏

She is our Cat of the Week, meaning her adoption fee is only $50! Alameda is going to make a wonderful companion and she can’t wait to start a new chapter of her life! 🏡

Her foster dad works from home, and she’s made an excellent office assistant! 💻 She always makes sure to attend his working meetings with him! She is an affectionate girl and enjoys getting attention from humans she trusts. 😻

She can take a bit to warm up, so she would do best in a calm furever home that will give her time to adjust. She does have asthma, but she takes her puffer in the mornings like a champ. 💪

You can learn more about her at aarcs.ca/animal/a2000069719. Let’s find this kitty a loving home! 💚

*HAPPY NEWS! MIA found her way home!!!*Riverview friends! Please keep your eyes peeled for Mia!

South Cochrane: My friend Millie is lost somewhere in The Willows. She’s most likely scared and hiding or maybe someone has taken her in. Please, please, please join the search party by having a look in your garage, shed, under steps and porches and in any dark hiding spaces with a flashlight and watch for the reflection of cat eyes. She’s an extremely sweet girl and her family misses her very much!

Paprika is one of our longest resident cats - please share to help find her a home! 💜

With a name like Paprika you’d expect some spice, but she’s the perfect amount with just a little bit of sass. In foster care she’s learning clicker training, she knows her name, and she loves to figure out a new treat puzzle! Being with her people is the best, and she tolerates her furry foster siblings (although she is definitely the queen of the house). Paprika has well managed kidney disease, and with her special diet, she’s thriving. Paprika is a brave girl who’s looking for a home that will give her the love she deserves. 🐾

To learn more about Paprika, contact our Adoption Team at [email protected].

Thinking about adding to your family in 2025? Tucker would love to meet you!

Sweet boy Tucker has been waiting for his forever family for so long… 😔

Tucker arrived back in summer 2023 - a concerned member of the public reported that he had been living outdoors in less than ideal conditions, and ultimately law enforcement seized him and brought him to the shelter. He remained at the shelter for six months, and then was transferred to another shelter in hopes that he would have better success with a new adopter pool. Unfortunately he remained at that shelter for a year without finding a home, and CAHS opted to take him back into our care once again. Now almost 2.5 years old, Tucker has spent more than half of his life in a shelter. 😭

He is a friendly and energetic young guy who loves to go hiking and play with other dogs. Luckily one of our amazing foster homes agreed to host him so he didn’t have to stay in the shelter, and now he is just waiting for his forever family! 🏠

To learn more about Tucker, contact our Adoption Team at [email protected] 🐾

Bijou’s regular grooming schedule keeps her beautiful coat from matting, greatly reduces shedding and brightens up her colours like crazy! Such a pretty girl!😍 #catgrooming #acleancatisahappycat #catsneedbathstoo #felinehealth #cathealth #petcare #cochrane #cochranealberta #cochranesmallbusiness #cochraneloveslocal #cochranemoms #calgary #calgaryalberta #catsofcalgary #calgarypetcare #catlover #crazycatlady #spawday #catbath #chrischristensen #wahl #inaba #churu #happyhoodie #photoroom #ilovemyjob #awhiskeraway

Believe it or not, this cat is not on ‘happy pills’… he just REALLY enjoys his bath time.😹 While a mild sedative is sometimes prescribed by veterinarians to help cats relax, Merlin just needs a warm shower and he zones right out. I love when a cat realizes how good it feels to be ‘pampurred’! #acleancatisahappycat #catbath #domesticlonghair #catgrooming #catgroominglife #catsofinstagram #catlovers #catspaday #cochranecats #catsofcochrane #cochrane #cochranealberta #cochraneab #cochranemoms #cochranesmallbusiness #cochranebusiness #cochranenow #cochraneliving #cochranelife #cochraneloveslocal #calgarylife #calgaryalberta #calgaryliving #petcare #felinehealth #healthycats #cathealth #awhiskeraway

It’s been a while since I last saw Merlin and he needed a spring overhaul on his beautiful blue coat. I could build an entirely new cat with the old, shed fur we removed. I missed this sweet guy!💕#catgroomer #catgrooming #felinehealth #cathealth #petcare #acleancatisahappycat #catsneedbathstoo cochrane #cochranealberta #cochranesmallbusiness #cochraneloveslocal #calgary #calgaryalberta #catsofcalgary #acleancatisahappycat #catlover #crazycatlady #spawday #catbath #chrischristensen #wahl #inaba #churu #happyhoodie #photoroom #ilovemyjob #awhiskeraway

Happy Meme Monday from AWA! #catmeme #catmemes #funnycats #mememonday #awhiskeraway

Misha’s lion cut grew out fast! To keep her fluffy coat under control, we tried a comb cut this time. I hope she likes it because I definitely do!💕🐾💕 #catgroomer #catgrooming #teddybearcut #felinehealth #cathealth #petcare #acleancatisahappycat #catsneedbathstoo cochrane #cochranealberta #cochranesmallbusiness #cochraneloveslocal #calgary #calgaryalberta #catsofcalgary #acleancatisahappycat #catlover #crazycatlady #spawday #catbath #chrischristensen #wahl #inaba #churu #happyhoodie #photoroom #ilovemyjob #awhiskeraway

Happy Caturday! Molly was a star for her first professional groom! We deshedded a tonne of old hair and cleaned up her pantaloons so she doesn’t have any ‘tag-alongs’ following her out of the litter box.

Ragdolls require regular maintenance to keep their huge coats in top shape. Aerith is now on a 8-10 week schedule of ‘spaw’ days to keep her gorgeous coat clean and shedding minimally.

Dasha the Siberian came to AWA almost 3 weeks ago for her first ever professional groom. Her owner dropped me a line this weekend to let me know how things are going. I love working with my clients to find ongoing solutions to their cat grooming issues.

Happy Caturday! Beans needed a deep degreasing bath to release a crazy amount of old shed fur from his beautiful coat so that it doesn’t mat. A regular grooming schedule can help long haired cats keep their luxurious coats without tangling, excess shedding or hairballs. Beans is now feeling lighter, cleaner and soft as silk! #acleancatisahappycat #caturday #domesticlonghair #tabbycats #tabbycatsofinsta #catgrooming #catgroominglife #catsofinstagram #catlovers #catspaday #cochranecats #catsofcochrane #cochrane #cochranealberta #cochraneab #cochranemoms #cochranesmallbusiness #cochranebusiness #cochranenow #cochraneliving #cochranelife #cochraneloveslocal #calgarylife #calgaryalberta #calgaryliving #petcare #felinehealth #healthycats #cathealth #awhiskeraway

Kiki’s ‘sturdy girl’ frame means she needs help keeping herself clean. Lucky for me she likes a good scrub to remove all the dirty, shed fur that builds up in her coat. I wish you could smell the difference, it’s divine! #acleancatisahappycat #catbath #domesticshorthair #tabby #tabbycat #catgrooming #cat #catsofinstagram #catlovers #catspaday #cochranecats #catsofcochrane #cochrane #cochranealberta #cochraneab #cochranemoms #cochranesmallbusiness #cochranebusiness #cochranenow #cochraneliving #cochranelife #cochraneloveslocal #calgarylife #calgaryalberta #calgaryliving #petcare #felinehealth #healthycats #cathealth #awhiskeraway

My Story

I was born in Bowness, Calgary and my family moved to Cochrane in 1984 when the population was less than 4,000! It was an ideal place to grow up and after a few moves and some eye-opening world travel, I am once again a Cochranite, although the town is much different than when I first moved into Calgary almost fifteen years ago.

I am certified in pet first aid and worked for years in veterinary hospitals, both family and emergency. Currently you can often find me caring for pets in their own homes all over Cochrane and grooming felines out of my home salon. I look forward to adding your furry, feathery and scaley family members to my extended critter family. Contact me today to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pets!
