Introduction: 27 years experienced SPECIALIST with CATS ONLY- (I do NOT groom dogs). POV-The difference between dog groomers who SAY they “do” cats… versus someone who says… “I AM a cat groomer“😑 That is all😊 ***NOTE*** I am NOT offering BATHS at this time. I am only offering them on a VERY limited basis and at a premium (unless I feel it is medically necessary) .**** Kitty MUST BE IN A CARRIER upon my arrival. “SOME” exceptions or other alternatives can be made, but only after we have a conversation about it!! Nail trims are “included” with larger jobs but I only offer a “NTO” (nail trim only) in a limited area. Hello!! ***I am the ONLY cats only groomer, with 27 years experience as a CATS ONLY Groomer, in a 50 mile radius of the Boston area. ***I am a member in good standing with the “National Cat Groomers Institute” or NCGI, the ONLY accredited cats only Grooming school in the world. Please be sure to compare my REVIEWS and PICTURES to others you may be considering…I promise you will see the difference!!! I do not use a noose around your cats neck!! Any who do…would be a groomer who has little to NO EXPERIENCE handling cats. I also do NOT use “heavy perfumes” or “dry shampoo’s”. These are for DOGS ONLY and should NEVER be used on a cat. Perfumes and dry shampoos are made of chemicals and are for dogs and can be toxic for cats as cats lick it off. Anyone who uses either…should NOT be grooming cats in my opinion. Also… I love to have you in the room during the process!!! This gives me the opportunity to show you how to groom your cat properly and explain everything that is going on. You get to witness the entire grooming and I’m happy to educate people on how they can keep their kitty in good shape! If you were told by other groomers that it’s not good to have you in the room during the grooming… This is absolutely UNTRUTHFUL!!! It’s true with dogs but not with cats!! I find the cats do better with the owner in the room😇 The greatest part about my business is that your grooming is performed “IN” the comfort of your own home! ***”Be aware that “in-home” Mobile cat grooming is a PREMIUM SPECIALTY service, one that takes a business straight to the customers door. Also, because grooming cats is a very SPECIALIZED SKILL, and a very dangerous one, it follows that it should, and does, command a higher price than what is normally found in the dog grooming market.” Credit-Lynn Pallilo NCGI (Example-If a hairdresser were to come to your home to do your hair in your kitchen… Or a chef came to your home to cook you a meal vs going to the restaurant… it’s fair to say that such a convenience would cost more). Mobile grooming eliminates the stress for both the cat and its owner and is therefore priced accordingly. Kitty never needs to leave the comfort of their own home and you do not need to drop kitty off and come back hours later. I’m available Friday Saturday Sunday Monday, (I’m off Tuesday Wednesday Thursday). I can start as early as 7 AM in the morning. **PLEASE NOTE**!!! I must insist that the day you accept an appointment… YOU ARE FLEXIBLE!! Unless your kitty is being given an anti-anxiety medication… I do not guarantee times. It could happen that I am running 1-2 hours earlier or I could be running 1 hour later… due to possible cancellations or jobs prior to yours that turned out to be more difficult than expected. I cannot predict the unpredictable. I do not have “one size fits all” pricing. Each grooming is priced individually and tailored based on your kitties needs. I MUST have a conversation with you before I could give an “approximate” quote. Please text me a picture of your kitty. Thank you so much for looking at my page and considering me! Please be sure to read my numerous five star reviews!!! Lori 5-14-22 going forward… Any cancellations, less than 24 hours from your scheduled appointment or the day of… due to a positive Covid test… is absolutely an acceptable reason for cancellation… but upon rescheduling… it will be required that you have proof from your doctor that you are Covid NEGATIVE. Thank you for understanding! 8-1-23 Due to gas prices increasing yet again averaging $4.00per/gl … I’ve had to re-in-state the $10 per appointment gas charge across-the-board. Regardless of what procedure you’re having done… There will be an additional $10 gas charge.

Lori was great to work with from the beginning of my inquiry to her leaving our house this morning. She was very professional and polite throughout the entire process. We have a 23lb Maine Coon Cat who has had the lions cut in the past but I wanted someone with the experience of handling cats and that would allow me to be part of the process. Lori checked all of the boxes. She was on time at 8am on a Sunday morning and went straight to work. Ozzy was in his carrier and allowed her to trim his nails and then went straight to grooming. Lori showed me how to assist her in the process and everything went as planned. She even gave Ozzy and our other cat Jack a nice treat to end the session. Ozzy looks great and we will definitely hire Lori again for his next haircut.

This was a fantastic experience for me, as I had never had my cats groomed before. Laurie was not only punctual and kept me in the loop, while she arrived in rather inclement weather, but she made sure that it was done exactly how I wanted it. And there was minimal Trauma with my kitty. I love the last personal touch she gave by giving my kitties some treats and toys to remind her of the visit which my kitty enjoyed playing with. My kitty is 11 years old so although she’s a sweetheart, like all cats, they tend to be touchy , and she did quite well. I’m going to be using Badkitty Grooming regularly, and I will happily pass referrals to others, who might need her services. I regularly post on aTelegram channel as an admin and I plan to put up a blanket referral there.

We have two kitties that we inherited at separate times. They have never gotten along and we’ve had to keep them separated. Well the downstairs cat ended up upstairs fighting the other cat and of course being the bad kitties they are they knocked over a large orange colored candle in the process. The wax got all over BOTH of them! One cat went to the emergency vet due to it being all over his face and we spent $400 for a shaved cat. Immediately that night I contacted Badkitty Cat Grooming through Thumbtack to get the 2nd cat, our oldest cat (15 years old) groomed. She responded within minutes! She was able to squeeze us in the very next morning at our house. This cat was a feral cat for half her life so she definitely isn’t the easiest cat to groom but Badkitty Cat Grooming was such a professional! She was very knowledgeable and wonderful to have in our home. I 1000% would recommend her over any other groomer because she was just that great. I hope we don’t have an incident like this again but if we do I know I will contact Badkitty Cat Grooming again! Look no further because this is the groomer you want to hire!

Lori was amazing! My cat with severe anxiety desperately needed to be helped. Lori was kind enough to walk me through the process of getting my cat the right medication to help ease the anxiety so we could finally get her groomed. Because of her horrible situation we’ve been scared to go to anyone, but Lori assured us she wasn’t here to judge and she really wanted to help the well being of my animal. She came and did such an amazing job removing the numerous mats and snarls my cat has gained over the years. We already plan on having her come back. As soon as Mia got into her new and clean area she was making biscuits and loving the catnip Lori was kind enough to give her. Thank you again, Lori!

Badkity did an amazing job of grooming my poor severely fur matted cat. Incredible how painlessly she eliminated a huge mass of knots. My cat is noticeably happier (if a bit less furry’!) A truly remarkable job! I give them 10 stars!
