Hi everyone,

Just thought I would introduce my services to you as a couple of times I have noticed members desp trying to be a groomer that visits the home rather than dog groomers in parlours who take the odd cat!

I am a mobile cat groomer based in Notting Hill, London and would be happy to receive any enquiries.

I groom Persians, Norwegian Forest, Maine Coons.. all long and short hair breeds. Visits to your home in most areas.

Please do have a look around my web site: http://www.catnips.co.uk

With best wishes,

Anita

Welcome Anita!

I live in the USA. Out of curiosity and because I'm planning on doing a course for cat grooming, how and where did you learn it? I've talked with a number of the local dog groomers and they all say they got little to no instruction on cats. So, is there schools for this in the UK? Did you apprentice? Just curious....

Thank you Linda.

I found it very difficult to find any teachers in London. You are very lucky as you have the only cat grooming university right in your country!!! http://nationalcatgroomers.com/

In the US the certificate of cat grooming is recognised but not in the UK. Only dog groomers can get a certificate.
I found an award winning cat groomer in the UK who runs her own parlour, Linda Sharland, and I called her to see if I could stay nearby her for a short period and could she teach me. And she agreed.

I would have loved to travel to the US to do the National Cat Groomers course but, what with the flights and someone to stay, it all would have cost too much.

It's the best thing I have done.

Actually, I had planned on going to the Natl Groomers school, but I ended up getting a job instead. I still plan on going but it will be this summer, hopefully.

Welcome to the forum, Anita! I think the mobile cat grooming is a great business idea. I wish there was someone here offering that service. There is someone here with a mobile dog grooming business but they don't do cats at all.
