We believe the cats in our lives aren't pets so much as co-conspirators. As such, we believe our cat compadres deserve the best of everything. Join us. Hello!
(80)

A full range of grooming services for cats, from nail trims to bath/blow-drys and comb-outs, sani-trims, de-matting, comb cuts, full lion cuts, de-shedding, and more. We also offer luxury B&B boarding in our in-house Cat Nappery Inn. Your feline pal will enjoy large suites with cat trees and perc

Billie couldn't believe the size of her de-shed pile either!

Heads up! Our text notification system has been out of commission since noon yesterday. Apparently a grooming business in another state sent "offensive content," via the software, which got the system flagged and eventually suspended for ALL users of Pawfinity software. (Thanks, guys.) SO, any of you with appointments on Monday or Tuesday will not get reminder texts. I will be calling everyone who hasn't confirmed. HAPPY CATURDAY! Here's a cat, for tax. That's Sunny, staring at the summit of her, apparently, delicious de-shed pile:

08/02/2024

Haha! Sure feels like that. Speaking of... we're currently booking first available spots in October. If you're hoping to have your cat groomed in the last quarter of 2024, call me soon: 716-401-3402 (don't text that number--it's a land line!)

07/15/2024

Hey all, the COVID continues for both of us. We'll be closed until Friday. Don't worry if you have boarding cats! Vicky Parkes has been volunteering with us since 2021, knows all your cats as well as Niner and I do, they all love her, and she's taking care of everybody, like the goddess she is.

07/11/2024

Hey friends,
Well, we dodged it for four years, but COVID has finally come knocking at our house. We'll be closed Friday and Saturday, and will reschedule everyone as soon as everyone tests negative.

07/03/2024

Hey everyone!

The shop will be closed between July 3-8, reopening on Tuesday, July 9. Have a safe, fear-free (for cats) July 4th. Remember: if your cats react to fireworks, try to act as if things are business as usual. Try not to rush over reassuring them that they're okay. They'll pick up your worry, not your reassurances. They're going to look to you for cues about how to feel about the strange, terrifying noises, so if you don't make it a big deal, it will help them relax, too. Turn on some white noise or calm music, and give your cats space to hide.

Vicky is here caring for our guests in the Inn. If your cat is boarding while we're gone and I have not given you Vicky's direct number, please text me at 303-904-0975.

Mr. Tom Kitten and Cleveland would love to hang around, but they're headlining the Poetry Slam later.

06/01/2024

Eleven years ago today, we moved to Fredonia from Denver, Colorado. Thank you all for welcoming us into the community and letting us care for your cats! 🩷

Hi Friends! Just a head's up. Next week we are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then Thursday just until 5 p.m. We're closed Friday and Saturday. I have a painting in a gallery exhibit in Solomons Island, Maryland, and we're heading down there for the show opening and artists' reception. Exciting! Here's a kitten, Papi, being excited about it. 😺

QUICK ADDITIONAL NOTE: FB is being super buggy for me lately, not updating, and not delivering messages on time. If you need to get in touch with me, perhaps call the shop for now. I'll post again when I can get FB to cooperate with me again.

EDIT: Painting is in comments in response to Kathy Holser's comment.

Can anyone welcome Carson into their home? We trim his nails regularly, and he's a purely sweet boy. You'll be lucky if you bring him into your family!

05/10/2024

Happy Friday!

"Never have I ever" had the swag of Dexter Pinkowski.
♥️😆 Cutest round boy of the pack, this one.

Our sweet matriarch, Misha, turned 22 today! Happy birthday, Misha. Turning 110 in cat years is a big deal. You're the sweetest.

One of my favorite personality traits of our snowbird boarder, Frankie, is that he "speaks" with his beloved stuffed bunny.

He brings Bunny to me as a gift ("Fanks for the tuna fish treat.")

He brings Bunny to me as a bribe ("You can have my bunny for awhile if you come upstairs to hang out, and maybe bring catnip.")

He stakes out his favorite spots by marking them with Bunny ("Your house is my house today, Rockstar.)

So glad to have captured it on video!

REMEMBER, *don't text the main shop number: 716-401-3402. It's a landline.* Leave me a message there or on FB messenger.

This announcement is in regards to FULL grooming sessions with a bath. We can still always fit in small, a la carte services such as a nail trim, an ear cleaning, a sanitary trim, nail caps, etc., much sooner.

Pre-booked but can't remember your appointment date? Message me. I'll get you squared away. I would much rather answer a million of those questions than have a no-show on the day of.

Tulip (right) is celebrating it being HER season by looking cool. Mollie is looking askance at Tulip for having the audacity to claim a whole season.

Hi Friends!
First of all, I have to thank you for commenting, sharing, donating. We have the best clients and friends in the world. I wanted to let you know that, thanks to all of YOU, the situation is fully and satisfactorily resolved, and a giant weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm going to take the original post down so it doesn't keep getting shared.

Love you all!

Just have to share...Suzy, one of our boarders, stole one of my tiny hands (I have weird and awesome friends who give weird and awesome presents) and this is what she left me at the door of her suite this morning. 😂 Seriously, best job ever. 🙌

Meeko still has two years of growing left to do, as is evidenced by that big, juicy paw of his! ❤️🐾

This is Harry's post-grooming pic. 😆 He self-titled it, "Siesta." ❤️

Okay, the race is on. Chi Chi Rosario knocked long-reigning champion, Lexi Liedke, out of first place for Biggest Deshed Pile, because this big fella coughed up TWO piles.

He felt so bright about his future in the Cat Hair Olympics, he had to wear shades. 😎

So, it already feels like spring out there! If you have a Sheddy-Freddy at home and need to get them in for a bath/de-shed before it gets really warm, I still have a few open appointment slots in April and May! Give me a call: 716-401-3402, or message me here on FB.

LONG workday, but it ended like this, as every Caturday should! 🧡😺

I have to share this magical little being with you. This is 9-year-old Allison. She's a tiny little nugget of a cat, and she and her sister are boarding with us, but Allison also enjoyed a spa day. As you can see, it looks like Allison is avoiding the camera, but Allison lost both of her eyes, so she "sees" with her ears. When I say, "Allison, look at me," this is what she does. ❤️

We all could learn from Allison about adapting to our circumstances. Watching her mentally map out her suite and the whole Cat Nappery Inn is awe-inspiring and humbling. She will spin in a circle in a new location, first clockwise with one ear forward, then counterclockwise, with the other ear forward. After she gathers whatever info she needs from that activity, she walks the perimeter of the space, and then she identifies the obstacles in the room. Once done, you'd never even know little Allison was blind, except for her adorable, ear-forward outlook on the world.

She's a beautiful, adaptable, skilled, sweet example to me always to bloom where I'm planted and be grateful for my advantages instead of bemoaning my shortcomings. (Short joke unintended, but noticed 😹) Allison is a perfect little soul in a mini-cat body.

Boarders, Rally and Buffy, who are from different families, have taken quite a shine to each other. I think they're the perfect spokescats for Valentine's Day.

💘

UPDATE: claimed! We have plenty of spots still available in March. 🩵

Hey folks, we have a bath spot that just came open on this coming Monday, 2/12 at 5 p.m. First come, first served, if you're waiting! Meanwhile, behold Lexi's magnificent de-shed pile.

Look how cute our work day was yesterday 💙

More great news! The Dolly Mama (new name: Lolly, which we love) has found her forever home with Casimer and Piper! 💙💙💙

Three year old Muggles had gotten herself into a matted bind, but it was nothing a lion cut and a good bath couldn't fix!

She said, "But I was saving that look to be a chimney sweep for next Halloween!" ;-) Guess you'll have to go as a marshmallow instead, Muggles!

This may end up posting twice. Anyway, please share this post, and thank you! We are having a big sale on beds from October 6-14. I made a video to explain why. 😆 So this is the one time we'll have special pricing on beds before the holidays. We'll have other specials on Small Business Saturday, but not on beds, so now's your big chance! Hours: Monday: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Wednesday: CLOSED Thursday: CLOSED Friday: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday: CLOSED

We're missing Uno in this grouping--odds are he was trailing after his mama, but these goobers are 8 weeks old now! Getting their first S-H-O-T-S on Thursday....shhhh, mum's the word. . .

The Dolly Mama and Fyro are having private twinning time!

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend! We will be closed Monday. But after that, please come in and browse our newly expanded boutique! There's a window view into Kittenlandia, too, if you need a bribe. 😉😸 Music: Dear Autumn Musician: @iksonmusic

Fyro is studying hard in kitten school. Her current class is, "Boxes: stepping in, stepping out, and why we love them." 💙

Trois is about to announce to his siblings that there is a WHOLE WORLD beyond the box! 🖤😱

Look how big these jellybeans are getting! 🧡🧡🤎🖤🖤

A whole new world! Little Zwei is the first baby to open his tiny kitty eyes and look around! 👏👏👏

The babies are growing! Fyro likes to be up by Mama's head, and silly Cinque likes to crawl through her back legs and smoosh himself under her butt, rest a moment, then struggle to squeeze himself out. 😆 (Sorry for the low res video. I'm capturing it via webcam from Colorado.) Music: Back Home Musician: Winter Foe URL: https://icons8.com/music/

Hi Friends, I'm still out of town, but I wanted to share something special that happened in the Cat Nappery Inn today. Backstory: a recent, nearby apartment eviction resulted in a homeless kitty, who was frantically trying to get back into her old apartment during that terrible storm. Sage, our next door business neighbor caught her, and came to Niner for help. We've named her The Dolly Mama, because she was wildly, imminently, forebodingly pregnant, ha ha, and I watched her go into labor over the Wyze cam this afternoon.😯 I called Niner, who had a cat in the bath, so I texted my wonderful assistant Innkeeper, Vicky, who zipped over and stayed with Dolly and me (via webcam!) through two hours of birthing! Dolly is the proud mama of five healthy kittens. I wanted to give them number order names, so I did, but in Spanish, German, French, Swedish, and Italian, just to mix it up: Uno: orange Zwei: orange Trois: black Fyro: brown tabby Cinque: black Dolly is a wonderful mama! 🧡🧡🤎🖤🖤

Educational pelt post! 😸
