Mercy Groom
A specialized groom for cats with matting that extends across most or all of the body — whether it’s one large pelt or multiple areas of tight or widespread tangles. Each case is carefully assessed to determine whether the coat can be safely restored through expert cat de-matting or if a full clip is necessary or desired by the cat’s person. At the start of each appointment, a short consultation is held to review the coat’s condition and answer any questions or concerns before grooming begins.
Recognized across Los Angeles and beyond for expert matted-coat grooming and cat de-matting, Catington Cat Grooming always prioritizes your cat’s safety and comfort. In many cases, our skill and experience allow the coat to be saved without shaving.
Severe Matting &
Pelt Removal
Once the best approach is determined during the consultation, each mercy groom is carried out with precision and care. Some coats can be safely restored through gentle de-matting and pelt removal, while others require a full clip for the cat’s comfort, stress level, or by preference. Every session includes a deep, clarifying bath to remove built-up oils—the root cause of matting—leaving the coat clean, light, and manageable. This is followed by a thorough blow dry and comb-out. When the full coat is maintained, a de-shedding treatment helps prevent future tangles; when shaved, a finishing clip ensures an even, polished result and a healthy fresh start.
All grooms at Catington Cat Grooming are fully inclusive — nails, ears, a bath with two shampoos to lift oils and dander, stud-tail treatment, gentle blow-dry, sanitary shave, paw-pad shave, and light trimming of pant legs or chest fur if desired. Only flea treatments incur an additional fee.
