Coat care at Chat-o-Coiffeuse
A cat's coat shows how she feels, it's the barometer of her health.
In the grooming salon we help your cat through the molt or trim tangles and knotted spots.
At Chat-o-Coiffeuse we offer 100% cat-friendly and professional coat care. We help you with advice customized to your cat so you can handle the coat yourself!
Our approach
The trimming must remain as pleasant or neutral as possible.
At Chat-o-Gand we go for a cat-, coat- and skin-friendly approach!
We always work in a non-invasive way. That also means limiting stress, paying attention to the well-being of the cat and no unnecessary treatments.
That's why we only allow cats in the salon.
Onze trimsters Joline en Riet zijn eveneens opgeleid als dierverzorger, dierenartsassistente, en kattengedragstherapeute. Door hun expertise wordt jouw kat met de grootste zorg behandeld.
The main goal of a treatment is that your cat will feel better again. We work preventively with advice and with a solution-oriented approach to problematic zones. This way, we help cats to maintain their coat.
What is a coat treatment?
Check-up
We carefully check the coat for problem areas to avoid knots and tangles.
We evaluate how we can remove them with the least amount of impact for your cat.
Combing or shaving
We always try to work with the comb whenever possible, but sometimes shaving is the best solution. If necessary, we always do it as elegant as possible. We consult the owner and always take the mood and well-being of the cat into account.
It can happen that she goes home with a somewhat short or strange haircut, but is most importantly relieved of pain and discomfort.
Ears, eyes and nails
We clean ears and eyes if necessary. We mainly cut nails as a precaution and as protection for the trimmer. This is only the tip of the nail. Only with medical necessity will we cut a little further (for example with older cats).
Duration
The duration of a treatment can be very different and varies between 20 and 60 minutes. We always keep these as short as possible for the welfare of the cat.
Our formulas
We only can conclude which formula applies when we have seen and examined your cat.
The price is determined by the amount of work, the condition of the coat and how fast a cat can be treated.

*** Corona-measures ***

- Bring your cat alone and only if you are in good health yourself.
- Wear a mask when entering our facility.
Not included
Flea treatment
If fleas are detected, we treat with an 'Advantage spot-on'. There is a surcharge of € 15 for this.
Washing and drying
We only wash cats if there is no other possibility to remove dirt from the coat. Afterwards, the cats are placed under a drying lamp so they don't have noise from a hairdryer and therefore less stress. Consider the required drying time. A price surcharge of € 35 applies for this. This treatment must be requested in advance.
Evening fee
Appointments are possible on Monday and Thursday, usually in the morning. Evening arrangements are possible during the week (at 4:30 PM or 6:00 PM) upon request, but an evening fee of € 25 will be charged.
What owners and their cats say about us
"Our old Merlin doesn't take care of himself anymore and that's why his coat gets tangled up. We went to see Joline and Merlin looks much better now and he's rid of every tangle. He appreciated Joline's patient approach a lot! We received very good tips & material to continue the coat care at home. Very satisfied!"
"Amazing welcome from Joline. Our Maine Coon looks radiant.
I also received some tips and tricks, so now our Djay will always look great."
"All my respect for this young woman who knowingly dares to take care of the coat of our long-haired, Fluffy Pluis. He looks a lot better after one treatment and he also feels more relaxed. This year no anesthesia at the vet! Our family is grateful to Joline!"
"Our Dotty came in with a serious coat problem. Within an hour, all tangles were removed and Joline gave us great tips to get her coat in best health. Dotty is easily stressed and yet she was calm the whole time. :)"
"Today I went to Chat-o-Gand for the first time to have my cat trimmed. This time trying to do it without anesthetic at the vet, like I did before. Surprisingly it went great, partly because of the kindness and care of Chat -o-Gand (groomer Riet). I received a lot of tips and tricks and will certainly try to apply them. If necessary I'll definitely come back! The cleanliness is also outstanding."
"Very satisfied with the grooming of our cat, as well as the handling of Riet with our cat. The tips for self-care were great, we can certainly get started ourselves. Awesome!"
"Dear Joline, your trimming was fantastic! Marie was completely relaxed when he got home: rolling on the floor, head bumping to ask for attention, appetite, ... Thanks for the good care! Greetings"

And the owner?
Your presence during the first treatment can be comforting. Limit the number of people accompanying the cat to a maximum of two to limit stress. As soon as we get to know the cat better and she's gotten used to us, it's also possible to bring your cat at the start of your appointment and pick her up again later.
