Hello everyone! I apologize for not posting very many cat photos lately. I am still recovering from a knee injury, and am also navigating a health issue affecting my joints. I am ok, just very tired and a bit sore at the end of the day. I really wanted to say THANK YOU to all of our wonderful clients for the kindness and understanding that you have shown for any schedule changes or longer groom times while I am working through this issue. I hope to be back to my normal self soon! For now, here are a handful of kitties that we have groomed recently! 🐈 😻

Daisy, one of our longer staying residents, has been waiting patiently for three months for someone to come and take her home. Please share this post and help us find Daisy a forever home!
I was a stray who spent most of my life outside fending for myself. But in no time at all, I’ve adjusted to my new life as an indoor cat, and I am getting along well with my new roommates. That shows how resilient and adaptable I am! I‘ve been accepting pets and treats and will continue to blossom under the loving care of a kind and patient person.
Here is a great article by one of my cat grooming mentors with the National Cat Groomer’s Institute!
Educating cat owners on the importance of grooming is a crucial aspect of ensuring their pets’ wellbeing.

Taylor and Travis are May’s Everyone Needs a Home sponsored cats! Thanks to Julie Garrett Cendejas Realty Group and Eric Leigh with Guaranteed Rate, you can adopt Taylor and Travis at no cost, as their adoption fees have been paid for.
Growing up in the woods has been a wild adventure. Now, we're searching for a low-stress home to spend the rest of our days. We spent most of our life wandering the trees surrounding our shared home. With patient humans and calm surroundings, we're ready to adapt to new environments. Once we build trust, we'll reveal our incredibly loving and cuddly nature. Just put on a cat video from YouTube, and we'll feel right at home.

At Downtown Tabby, we believe that continuing education is extremely important! Ellie had the opportunity to attend a Pet Tech CPR & First Aid class that was taught by fellow Certified Feline Master Groomer, Meg the Traveling Groomer!
We are dedicated to the safety and well-being of all of the cats that we groom. Knowing the signs to watch for, when to stop a groom, and what to do in case of an emergency is critical when working with live animals. We are very happy to receive our certification, and will continue to dedicate ourselves to learning new information and skills! 🐱

CJ’s color is black smoke. The roots of her hair are white, and the tips are black. We took a photo right after her bath while she was still wet to show the coat underneath. When she is clean, dry, and combed out, she almost looks like a normal black cat. We have a handful of kitty clients that are this color. Have you ever seen a black smoke cat before? 🐈⬛

Freya is so beautiful! We love her fluffy tail! 🖤

Mando the Siberian had his first ever professional groom. He was not very impressed. 😅
His before photo is in the comments.

It is definitely shedding season! Check out how much dead coat Raven was carrying around. All of this would have eventually been all over the house, or would have formed a bunch of mats in the near future! Does your cat need a deshed treatment with their next groom?

Clyde looks much better after his bath!

Thank you!

Happy Friday everyone! Socializing can be a good thing if you're into that whole "human interaction" thing. 😂

Please be careful with Lilies this Easter! They are extremely toxic to cats!
Keep your feline friends safe this Easter! 🐱 Did you know lilies are very toxic to cats? Enjoy the beauty of spring while ensuring the safety of your cats. Keep harmful flowers out of your cats reach.
A reminder that our Emergency Department is open 24/7, 365 days a year. 🏥
Thank you to ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center for this great information!

Hey everyone! We apologize for not posting much of anything for a few weeks. I have been dealing with a knee injury since the beginning of March, and haven’t had the extra energy to keep up with our social media posts. Hopefully, we will be back at it soon. For now, please enjoy the handsome Klaus! 😻

Please do not cut out mats with scissors! We have personally seen so many cats with wounds from well-meaning owners trying to cut out mats at home. Most of the time, the owners don’t even realize it’s happening!

Two big purebred Maine Coon boys ready to go home! 💙
Dude absolutely loves his comb out at the end of his groom. 💙
This poor guy was matted clear up to behind his ears and under his chin! He was such a good boy for this!
He was taken in by a couple who found him wandering around their yard. They realized that getting his coat back in good condition was beyond them, so they made an appointment to get him all cleaned up!
Donut was a bit nervous when she first came in for her grooming appointment, but was loving the attention by the end! She is such a sweet girl. 💕
Donut got our short hair bath package which includes a nail trim, bath, blow dry by hand, ears cleaned, and comb out. She also got our de-shed treatment addon to get even more dead coat out during her groom.
Cloud absolutely LOVES his comb out at the end of his groom. 💙
Willy tries to convince his mom that he hates being groomed, but we know better. 🤭
Max is enjoying a warm towel wrap and a snack! She did so well for her first groom!
(We sometimes don’t wash the head if it is their first time getting a bath. We will work up to that at a future appointment!)
Dude the Manx LOVES his after-bath comb outs. ❤️
We love it when a cat is purring at the end of their groom. 😻
Shadow did so well for her first bath! She was a little nervous at first, but calmed down once she realized that there was no reason to be scared. 💕
This boy… 😂
This is how Orio wanted to be bathed today. 🫧
Delilah really enjoyed her comb out! Can you hear her purr? 😻
Willy is so adorable! 💙
Gandalf was so affectionate after his groom today! 💙
Butterscotch and Brandy are two adorable 10 month-old littermates that are boarding with us for a while. 💕
Butterscotch can’t decide which toy he wants to play with! 🤣
Angus, luxuriating his blow-dry 👑🧖♂️😻 #suchadivo 💙
Wasabi was such a good girl for her first bath 🍱❤️🧼
We always enjoy the look of contemplation on a cat’s face when they’re in the tub: “I shouldn’t like this… but I think I do 🤔”
We love you Sweet Girl 🍣✨😻
Loki, enjoying his final comb-out at the end of his groom 😻🤗
.
A regular grooming schedule is just as imperative for short-hair cats as it is for long-hair cats. Loki’s excessive shedding was encroaching into furball territory 🤢🥴 Luckily, Mama keeps Loki on schedule which allows us to help mitigate ‘the shed’ with multiple shampooings, a thorough blow-dry and a meticulous comb-out.

Looking good, Handsome 😎
This precious, 8 year-old #torbiecat came to us a few weeks back for just a nail trim. However when Tahlula saw the spa menu she just had to book a full coat groom, with an added belly shave and an extra order of Love. We were very happy to oblige 😻🤗💜

What’s a Torbie? A cat with Tabby markings and a tortoise-shell coat. Gorgeous 🤩
Downtown Tabby Inc is pleased to offer Feline-Exclusive Grooming Services to the Treasure Valley of Idaho. What started as a Mobile Grooming business in the Coachella Valley of California is now a Groom & Boarding Salon located in Kuna, ID; we are easily accessible from the cities of Meridian, Boise, Nampa and Caldwell. Owner and groomer, Sharon Halpern, is a Certified Feline Master Groomer with NCGI and a Certified Master Cat Groomer with PCGAA. Her daughter, Vanessa, is the Business Manager and Assistant Groomer. This mother/daughter duo have been successfully working together for almost 4 years.
Currently, we are thoughtfully designing Cat Boarding Suites to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests. Each suite will include vertical cat trees, different levels to accommodate discrete litter box needs, feeding, lounging and window views. To create a more melodic acoustic energy, we will play feline-centric music scientifically orchestrated for Cats only. An attentive caregiver will lavish love and attention in the play area daily. To provide peace of mind, our clients will be able to view their Beloved Felines on video cameras.
In understanding the true nature of Cats, we strive to provide a calming environment as we focus all our attention on grooming only one Feline in our salon at a time. In this loud and overstimulating world, we promote placidity and a quiet awareness combined with compassion, patience and skill.
Because we are nestled in the heart of Old Downtown Kuna, the ambience is one of ease and relaxation. Our state-of-the-art salon is equipped with the latest technology in grooming tools and equipment. For the comfort of your Feline, filtered air quality, soft water, heated towels, therapeutic pheromones and negative ion lighting influence our environment.
All services are Full Coat Grooms, with the exception of a nail trim and/or nail trim and ear cleanse. We feel that performing any other grooming procedures without including a thorough bath is not best for the skin and coat of the cat.
