Professional Cat Grooming in Kitchener
Cats are not small dogs and grooming them requires a fundamentally different approach. At Pawz, we provide professional cat grooming services in Kitchener designed specifically for feline needs. Our trained groomers understand that cats are sensitive, easily overstimulated, and require calm, measured handling throughout every stage of the grooming process.
From the moment your cat arrives at our salon, we prioritise a low-stress environment, gentle technique, and patient handling — so the experience is as comfortable as possible for even the most anxious or reactive cats. We never rush a session, and we never compromise on safety.
Whether your cat is long-haired and prone to matting, a short-haired breed that needs a periodic hygiene clean, or a senior cat that requires extra care and gentleness, our team has the experience to handle them with confidence and compassion.
We proudly serve cat owners across Kitchener and nearby areas including Waterloo and Cambridge.

Cat Grooming Packages
We offer cat grooming packages designed to suit different coat types, grooming needs, and comfort levels. Every package is carried out with the same commitment to gentle, safe, low-stress handling.
Bath & Brush
Our core cat grooming package. Includes a gentle bath, blow-dry, thorough brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and hygiene grooming. A complete, well-rounded session that covers everything most cats need on a regular basis.
Brush & Cut
Ideal for cats that require trimming and tidying without a full bath. This package focuses on coat management—brushing out tangles, trimming overgrown areas, and keeping the coat neat and comfortable. We can also provide lion cuts if required. A good option for cats that find bathing particularly stressful.
Full Grooming — Bath & Cut
Our most comprehensive cat grooming package. Includes a full bath, blow-dry, brushing, and a tailored haircut or trim suited to your cat’s coat type and condition, including lion cuts on request. Recommended for long-haired cats or those requiring more involved coat management.
Not sure which package suits your cat? Our groomers will assess your cat’s coat and temperament at the time of booking and recommend the most appropriate option.
Why Choose Pawz for Cat Grooming in Kitchener
Our groomers have hands-on experience working with cats of all temperaments – from relaxed and cooperative to anxious, reactive, or handling-averse. We know how to read feline body language and adjust our approach accordingly.
Gentle Handling Techniques
We use slow, deliberate, and reassuring handling throughout every session. No rushing, no forceful restraint – just calm, considered grooming that respects your cat’s comfort and boundaries.
Stress-Free Grooming Environment
Our salon setup is designed to minimise overstimulation. Cats are kept separate from dogs throughout their visit, and we maintain a quiet, controlled grooming space that helps keep anxiety levels low.
Clean & Hygienic Facility
Every surface, tool, and station is thoroughly cleaned between appointments. A hygienic environment is especially important for cats, who are particularly sensitive to unfamiliar scents and environments.
Safe Grooming Practices
From the products we use to the way we handle each cat, safety is built into every step of our process. We use cat-safe, non-toxic grooming products and never proceed with any service that could cause stress or harm.
Grooming for All Cat Types
Every cat is different — and our grooming approach reflects that. We work with all types of cats, tailoring each session to their individual coat, health, and temperament.
Short-Haired Cats
Short-haired cats still benefit from regular professional grooming. Bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning help maintain coat health, reduce shedding, and keep hygiene in check – even for cats that appear low-maintenance.
Long-Haired Cats
Breeds like Maine Coons, Persians, Ragdolls, and Siberian cats require more involved coat care to prevent tangles, matting, and fur-related discomfort. Regular professional grooming is particularly important for long-haired cats to keep their coat manageable and healthy.
Senior Cats
Older cats often struggle to groom themselves as effectively as they once did. Our groomers take extra time and care with senior cats – working gently, keeping sessions shorter where needed, and paying close attention to skin condition and coat health.
Anxious or Sensitive Cats
Some cats simply find grooming more stressful than others. We have experience working with cats that are handling-averse or easily overstimulated, and we adapt our techniques to keep the session as calm and low-stress as possible. Please let us know about your cat’s temperament when booking so we can prepare accordingly.

Before & After Cat Grooming Results
What Cat Owners in Kitchener Say
ADD: We have been here 2x now and both times we are really happy with the result! The techs are friendly and did exactly what we asked. Zelda had a good time and looks, feels, and smells amazing! We tried to cut her nails at home and groom her wily face hairs (half labradoodle) without much luck - she came home clipped clean and soft. Highly recommend this service.
Pranay always does a phenomenal job and from the moment you walk in you realise that they really love dogs.
Cant recommend this place enough. Pranay and team, keep it up! You guys are awesome!
Another job well done with wash, clean up and scissor cut only. Bailey looks fantastic…..and we were able to get a 9am Sunday appointment as a bonus. Well done!
Most delightful thing was how comfortable they made Shiro during the whole process (he is usually quite an excited pup)
I will definitely bring him back to the same store for his next appointment
Kudos to the whole team!!!
My biggest concern about finding a grooming salon for my pup was no crates. I have heard horror stories about dogs being put in a crate with a dryer on them. This salon didn’t have a single crate in sight. I will be bringing him back 100%.
Highly recommended.

First time going to Paws. Good grooming experience. The place is clean, and grooming is done right in the front area, so customers can see the environment. There are no kennels, which was appreciated, and the dog looks great. He also smelled great, which is another part I liked.
The place doesn’t have that strong odour that some other grooming places do; on the contrary.
The cut is very smooth and consistent.
The price was slightly lower than at other places. For us, that was because they consider medium dogs up to 50lbs, while at other places this threshold is lower. This was ultimately what made me pick this business this time. Will return for sure.
FAQs – Cat Grooming in Kitchener
-
Yes – even cats that self-groom regularly benefit from professional grooming. Self-grooming doesn’t address matting, remove loose undercoat effectively, clean the ears, trim nails, or handle hygiene areas. Regular professional grooming supports coat health, reduces shedding, prevents matting, and gives a trained eye the opportunity to flag any early signs of skin or coat issues.
