We are open from 9-3 every other Saturday but these appointments are not available online and are generally pre-booked out for 6 months. We groom between 5-7 cats a day. We are NOT a high volume shop and we are booked out 6-8 weeks for appointments. We only accepts new customers freely in January and February, after that, the cat must be referred by a vet due to health or age issues or by another groomer who was unable to groom the cat.

We will be closing at noon on Saturday December 21st and will reopen on January 1st at 3pm. I meant to take that off too but I forgot to block it out and someone booked. I will be asleep before the ball drops anyway.

5 of these cats are over 16
1 has Cerebral Hyperplasia
1 has a cleft pallet (ok, there are 2 pics of her but she was such a poser)
1 hates car rides with a passion of volcanic eruption from both ends but loves to be blow driedšŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
1 only has 2 properly working legs
2 have a history of seizures
1 is too chonk to clean her own butt
3 were boarding and got groomed before they went home and another is a a very well bred Maine C**n
And the last one is the cranky 14 year old foster cat who hated me but adores me now.
Also, Jazzy, Piggy, Mia and Tiny the foster cat would like to give a shout out to Marigny for bringing them 3 big jars of treats.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and please keep in mind that we had to switch out texting number because the App we were using glitched so badly we couldnā€™t recover it.

NEW TEXT NUMBER

We use to use an APP called TextFree for texting. It was great, until it wasnā€™t. I have not been able to send or receive texts since Saturday. I have contacted them every day to remedy the situation to no avail. I have no idea who has texted me since Saturday the 7th. Iā€™d love to recover the phone number, but I canā€™t, and I refuse to be put in this situation again so I had to get a new phone and line for texting the business.

The old number to TEXT the shop was 412-626-7877(PURR)
The NEW number is 412-660-4576 ā€¦ It doesnā€™t spell anything funšŸ˜¢

Please change the TEXT number in your phone.
Please do not call it. It is for texting only.
It is not a 24 hour hotline.
It is for CURRENT CUSTOMERS ONLY.

*****The LANDLINE is still 412-466-7877(PURR)*****

We are currently unable to receive or send texts.

Unfortunately, this is a problem with the program we use. This issue started on Saturday. The company deemed our number "Inactive" even though it was used daily. I am trying to recover the original phone number but am having problems getting support to respond to the issue. If the issue is not resolved by Sunday, I will get a new number to text.

Fortunately, you can still reach us by calling 412-466-7877, emailing [email protected], or messaging us on the FACEBOOK business page.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. It is not within my control.

We have some cats boarding for thanksgiving so I wanted to plate them a thanksgiving ā€œfeastā€.
They are getting their canned food supplied by their owners with small accoutrements of sliced turkey cat food in gravy and a freeze dried nugget of Stella and chewy, freeze dried wheat grass, a drizzle of Churu and a garnish of catnip.

Ok. I finally took some photos. One of these cats is 16 years old. Can you guess which one? Another one is one that we f...

Ok. I finally took some photos.
One of these cats is 16 years old. Can you guess which one? Another one is one that we fostered here as a kitten and was adopted.
We will be closed for grooming until Wednesday. (boarders will be cared for)

Have a safe and happy thanksgiving!

Things are not always the way they appear. From the second photo you would think the catā€™s coat looks fine but from underneath you can see the tight matting. It takes great skill to remove these mats. Donā€™t get me wrong, I sweat and hold my breath the entire time because Iā€™m working with a sharp thing on an awake, living creature. Luckily this one was grateful for the relief. Some are not.
Ps. No. We are still not accepting any new customers.

The salon will be closed from 3pm Aug 31st -11am Sept 11th.
I could not figure out how to disable appt making before I left so I did this.
Who wants to take bets on how many people will make appts while Iā€™m gone.
(Those with pending appts made in the LAST 24 hours will be approved tomorrow-if you already have a pending appt)
The machine will not take messages.
Texts will be an auto response that Iā€™m out of town.
In other wordsā€¦To quote the Australian Punk Adjacent group ā€œThe Chatsā€ā€¦ā€Iā€™m on Smoko -Leave me aloneā€ šŸ˜‚

08/19/2024

We lost power at the shop at 8pm. My 8pm was a matted Lion cut. Between 3 pair of cordless clippers (that are always only half charged because I forget to put them on the charger), and the light coming in from the front door and the exit signs, I completed the groom. I couldnā€™t bathe it, but at least I got the shave done.

In addition to grooming and boarding, I sometimes have groomers from other salons visit to shadow me so I can show them different tools and techniques.
On Tuesday I had 3 groomers travel from another state to visit so I had to represent for 412. I treated them to what I refer to as the ā€œSteel City Breakfast of Championsā€.
Who can guess what 2 Pittsburgh specific delicacies are on this plate?

Ch-ch-changes.
Thatā€™s what I have been making.
We now have a a new doorbell in the front lobby and one at the door to the grooming room that will record motion and notify me when someone rings the bell. We have two screens that will alert us to your presence when you ring the bell so I donā€™t have to carry my phone or iPad everywhere.
It has been very hard for me to adjust to saying I instead of We so the ā€œWeā€ that I am now referring to is Jazzy, Piggy, Mia and myself.

I am currently having technical difficulties with the salon phone. The error code states that the recording memory is full even though I have cleared the messages. We were having some electrical issues and that may have caused it, or Jazzy, Piggy or Mia may have walked on the phone in an effort to destroy it. So, if any of our CURRENT customers need to each me, you can text 412-626-PURR. Iā€™m hoping to have a new phone by next week. This number is only for texting, does not receive phone calls and is for CURRENT customers only. We are still not accepting new customers.
