Cat’s Meow Grooming Spa & Boutique

We LOVE this spa! I have two giant cranky cats, who are no problem for the team here to groom!
They also have great suggestions on foods for difficult diets and preferences, as well as tips for issues the cats are having.
Thank you so much!!!

Awesome place to get your kitties pampered! wouldn’t let anybody touch my Sasquatch except Irene.

Take it from the local cat hotel, we’ve been here A LOT, and with a lot of different cats (different needs, different temperaments, etc). These guys do a great job and they are super sweet too. Kitty Charm School is thrilled they moved to town, and so are our customers. Meow!

Today we brought our little Persian who has a life-​threatening condition — magaesophas. Even though it has been one year since we adopted her from a «death-​row» rescue organization, even our vet was not sure she could handle a grooming — and the tech there tried ro get her badly matted paws trimmed.
We arrived early and Jennifer, the store manager — was SO-​O welcoming and put me at my ease, and Pearl, our cat, also. Then I panicked when I found out the owner and main groomer, Irene, had been called away for the day. But, the professional and master groomer, who had origninally trained Irene, — Kim– had come in from Ohio and introduced herself and gained our trust — acknowledged through Pearl’s purrs, immmediately.
Well, this turned out unbelievably great. Pearl is back at home, happy. beautiful and well-​groomed — and with no regurigitation which happens when she gets stress or has her tummy touched with pressure on the esophogus. These people: Irene, Jenn, and Kim are superb! They helped Pearl so much today and have gained all of our cats’ trust, our trust, and that of our vetinarialn. Thank you so much. Recommend at the highest level with no reservations whatsoever.

Irene and Jenn are the absolute BEST! The products and customer service is stellar. Everything in the store is researched to the utmost to ensure high quality for animal health and fun. They are so incredibly knowledgeable about the latest info regarding cat/​animal health and behavior that with each shopping visit I feel like I’m getting a complimentary consult on par with a vet visit. Since we’ve been going to the Cat’s Meow, we’ve put the cats on a raw diet and they have never been better with obvious great improvements in their coat and teeth. Their spa services are above and beyond.
Not only do they do great work (results are beautiful!) but they take great care to ensure the comfort of the cats– in fact that is their top priority. I once even called them in the midst of a great crisis from the pet emergency hospital and after first offering to come and meet me there, Irene talked me down from a ledge, so to speak, offering great support and info. Their passion, knowledge and kindness makes this place a MUST for all cat lovers!

Wahoo! My two long haired cats just returned from another fantastic spa day with Irene and Jennifer at Cat’s Meow Grooming! I have always used groomers for my cats, and can’t say enough about how Irene and her team are committed to the best care, love, and quality for each fur baby they pamper. Truly a one of kind experience that both my cats and I have never had before. Thank you Irene for being the best in the business and caring for our family members, just like they were your own :)

There’s a reason they have so many great reviews. The Cat’s Meow offers a great service. I was referred by Cat’s Clinic in Mill Valley after explaining my flea issues.
I had quite a problem and could not seem to get it resolved. I called Cat’s Meow and they spent a lot of time helping me understand what I needed to do to rid my home of fleas.
I set up an appointment for flea baths for both kitties and they came back happy smelling great and no more fleas.
I haven’t seen a flea and all seems to be good.
They followed up to see how I was doing as well.
It clear they love what they do and your pets will be in good hands.
Service is excellent!
Highly recommend!
Thank you,
Tobi, Jordi & JC

Simply the finest and most loving cat grooming spa… ever. Tender, well informed care by an amazing staff. Founder Irene and her assistant Jen are caring, knowledgeable, cat-​people, who have the patience and expertise to make any feline relax, and then look like a star.
Sophie, my Siberian, arrived in a frazzle, after a cross country move, needing lots of TLC and a thorough de-​matting. We came up with a long-​term grooming plan, and Irene taught me a lot about caring for my cat at home. The whole experience was not only fun, it was an education. Looking forward to the seminars at this terrific center for everything cat related. A wonderful resource!

Cats Meow is the absolute best! I can’t say enough good things about Irene the owner/​groomer and Jen, her assistant/​kitty nutritional expert. Irene has a magically soothing presence and my kitty fell in love with completely. Angel my two-​year old ragdoll came in for a much needed emergency flea extraction and de-​matting session. Irene took the time to get him relaxed and acclimated, playing with him, petting him and generally showering him with love. I couldn’t have asked for a more loving and compassionate first time grooming experience for my beloved kitty. While Irene worked her magic her assistant Jen, when not busy assisting her, was assisting me in picking out an appropriate canned food for Angel who is being weaned off of dry and conventional cat food. She directed me to Gourmet Carnivore by Tiki Cat, which Angel is loving! It’s all meat, no fillers, no grain, with lots of great kitty specific vitamins. He is thriving on it! Thank you Jen!
Jen also kept my little girls quite entertained while we waited for Irene to finish up. She read to them, played with them and made a very positive impression on us all! When you go to Cats Meow they make you feel like family there and treat your kitty as if it were their own. All the products there are non toxic and healthy for kitties, unlike Petco or other conventional pet super marts. Irene and Jen are super informed and take the time to share their knowledge, answering questions and listening with compassion and interest to all of your kitty concerns.
I live over a hour away from Cats Meow but I’m looking forward to bringing the crew down for another visit to pick up more kitty
Food for Angel and of course for his next grooming session!

Outstanding customer service. Super friendly. Did a great job. Will return.

Love this new place! They have a great selection of cat products, toys and food. The owner, Irene, is a doll and is very helpful and sweet. I love supporting small businesses, and I find her prices fair compared to the large corp pet businesses. I say support Mill Valley and new business owners!

Super Nice people! Stacy is really good with kitties and when they say ‘spa’, they mean «SPA!» It;s the best treat you can get for your kitty if she/​he is inclined. Mani Pedi and a whole lotta love.

We met Aunt Stacey and Irene in April the day before they officially opened and a few days after one of our cats had died of cancer. They were so friendly and knowledgeable we decided in due time we would bring our tiny Napoleon in for grooming. So, now, in December we did after the required up-​to-​date vet visit/​exams/​shots/​blood work. and filling out a profile. Today was our little cat’s «beauty parlor» day. We were nervous, but Aunt Stacy took great care and put our little cat and us at ease. Then, to our shock she discovered that our vet, at the appt just two weeks prior, had not… noticed (or it has just started at the time of that appointment) and infected claw on our little cat — a claw that was growing into and puncturing into her little paw bed. So, today we took our little cat. all beautiful and perfectly groomed… and followed Aunt’s Stacey’s advice and… took our little cat straight from Cat’s Meow to our vet’s.
Sure enough, the claw has punctured the paw bed. had to be cut out, cleaned, and a shot of an antibiotic had to be administered. All is well. Our little cat is beautiful and happy, and the infection. that we did not know she had until Aunt Stacey found it. should be gone in a day or so. We are so impressed! And, we will come back for another appointment. Recommend very highly with no reservations whatsoever! Thank you.

I stopped in and got a tour. This salon is so amazing! I didn’t have my kitties with me but I ended up talking home several different toys and treats. Stacy is so kind! I would trust her with my cats anytime.

I brought our 9 year old Siberian brother kitties to Aunt Stacey at Cat’s Meow for their first-​ever grooming today. One of them is extremely sensitive and hates letting me clip his nails or groom his stubborn mats, and both of them have been coughing up ugly hairballs every week — plus we’ve constantly been having to de-​fur our clothes and home (including under the fridge). Not only did Stacey do an amazing job giving them their first-​ever baths, taking acres of fur off them, clipping their nails & shaving their behinds, but she also taught me a lot about cat psychology as she was doing their initial assessment, pointing out what their behaviors meant and explaining how she was responding. I only wish our vet (at a cats-​only clinic) had that kind of kitty handling expertise. Our kitties were so blissed out after this experience they didn’t let out a single «mew» on the car ride back into San Francisco. Who knows how to groom finicky cats? Nobody! — until now. We Bay Area kitty lovers are lucky to have this place in the neighborhood.

For anyone who loves their cat this is the only place to take them to get groomed. Aunt Stacy is amazing and everything there was really thoughtfully designed to make your cat relax and feel loved. I have a 15 year old long haired cat that had some nasty mats that needed attention. The last time I took her to the vet to have this done and it was very traumatic for both of us. This was completely the opposite. stacy really took time to get to know Miko before she even began the grooming process. She also explained everything to me and showed me tricks to help keep her coat in good shape. Stacy used her body to hold Miko and talked to her the entire time. At the end of the treatment Miko was tired but very proud of how she looked. We will only be taking Miko to Cats Meow.

I stopped in on a tour to check out what Cat’s Meow was all about, I met with Auntie Stacey who was super friendly and you could tell she really loves her cats. We set up a spa day for my older cat who was 15 to get some spoiling. A few weeks later and Simba was getting pampered at the spa. Aunt Stacey treated him with kindness and love, when I came back to pick him up she made me aware of a health issue and gave me information on it.
Long story short and not to go into detail but simba ended up very ill (not from anything at cat’s meow) and he ended up being put down the following week.
If it was not for Stacy noticing this health issue, we wouldn’t of even realized it for I don’t know how long.
When I contacted Stacey to tell her he was put down, I could hear the sadness in her voice.
They sent a lovely card and made a donation on behalf of Simba, and we thank you for that.
I will be sure to come and bring our KonaBear in for some spoiling, thank you again :)

My cat «Kodiak» had his first Cat’s Meow Grooming Spa visit since they opened, it was a BIG day for my furry matted Himalayan boy! He hates, hates, hates being brushed/​groomed at home (to the tune of bites, snarls and kitty-​daggers attacking us), we cannot keep mats off him and he gets miserable. So we scheduled a Lion Cut visit with Aunt Stacey!
Kodiak (AKA «Mr. Sassy Pants» at our house) did really well there, the serene and kitty-​calming pheromone private grooming suite was just the ticket in getting this all done without having to sedate him like in the past! Everyone came out unscathed, and Kodiak looks so clean-​cut and spiffy… Mats are all gone, nails trimmed, not a stray hair on him, and we don’t have to upset him with trying to brush most of his body for another two to three months! (He allows tail, head, neck and leg grooming at home thankfully.)
This will make his and our Summer much more enjoyable… Will we be back… Well, uh, ye-​aye-​ahhh!!! =^.^=
