Cozy Cat Boarding & Grooming

I can’t believe my good fortune in finding Alex, a total cat whisperer! I have a 16-​year-​old Persian whom I rescued when she was 15 years old, a victim of animal cruelty and abandonment. Due to age and missing teeth, she has a constant dark staining drool that really dirties her coat, and she can’t groom herself, also due to age. A further problem is that her abuse history makes her afraid of touch and people in general, making it impossible to groom her myself.
The minute Alex put her on his lap while he was asking me questions about her, she turned around, looked straight into his eyes and started to crawl up him to get closer! This is completely UNHEARD of behavior for this kitty! She has not been able to tolerate being picked up, held, being on laps, etc., due to her abuse fears.
You can tell Alex really loves what he does. He took a lot of time asking me exactly what I wanted for her, while at the same time giving me a lot of information about the health and grooming needs of this particular breed and her age requirements.
I really LOVE that he is into rescuing: He’s the VP of Seattle Persian & Himalayan Rescue. He knew exactly who Whisker City was,
a no-​kill feline rescue shelter in Shoreline, WA, where I adopted this sweet old abandoned kitty (and others).
This cat is also terrified of the car, and screams and howls all the way to the vet or anywhere else she goes. This trip was no different, so she arrived very upset. But when I came to pick her up, she was not only impeccably clean, groomed and ever-​so-​soft, but she was PURRING (a rarity for this kitty)! She was so relaxed she never made a peep all the way home in the CAR – also unheard of!
She has been soooo happy and feels so good from her experience with Alex that she has been bouncing around, playing, purring and being very affectionate in her way, and continues to be like this the day after. This is a cat with kidney disease who hardly ever has days like this, so obviously her one-​on-​one experience with Alex perked her up tremendously – it has even increased her appetite.
This is a very clean place, and it is QUIET – so important for cats! Alex works on one cat at a time so he can give them a true, cat-​whispering, individualized experience (no multiple cats crammed together here). Anybody who can not only do the expert grooming that he does using his wealth of knowledge and experience, but who can make my cat feel THAT good is just amazing in my book. Yet his prices were no more expensive than the going rate (I checked around with other groomers for prices, but I sure am glad I went with Alex!)
If this location is not that close to you, it is absolutely WORTH the drive, no question! I’m coming back every three to four weeks for this special case kitty, and I can’t wait to give her this experience again!

Meeko and Mekare, both 12 yr old Persian cats, had a spa day with Alex today. It’s always amazing how relaxed they are with him. Alex takes care of his cat-​clients and always follows up with with you on anything he notices regarding the cat. A true Cat-​Whisperer! If you are looking for a cat groomer this is the place and Alex is it!

We brought our 2 fur babies, Gizmo & Nala to get pampered by Alex today. We were absolutely blown away by the extraordinary professionalism he provided. Alex is the pinnacle of how grooming professionals should treat their clients and kitties! He really, really loves his job. And believe me, it shows. Our persian kitties thoroughly enjoyed their spa day with Alex. Top notch service from whiskers to tail and now they look amazing. Really liked how they only groom kitties and you don’t have to worry about dogs scaring them. His office is extremely clean and full of decorations that make you smile. We will be lifelong customers of this wonderful place and feel blessed to have found Alex. THANK YOU!

Alex is the best cat groomer in the state, hands down! He grooms my very large kitty, Cocoa Puff, every 2 months or so and Cocoa always comes out with a beautiful velvet coat and cute lion cut. Alex’s office is beautifully decorated with shabby chic kitty stuff — for sale if something catches your eye. The place is also spotlessly clean. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Zeus is a 9yr old, long hair indoor/​outdoor cat who spends a lot of time outside chasing mice and birds. In the past he would let me comb him and cut out any clumps that got tangled in his long fur, but since we adopted a couple of sisters (a kitty and a doggy), he’s cranky all the time and hisses at me when I try to comb him.
I called Alex and he was able to fit us into the schedule the next day! Zeus had some horrendous clumps of matted fur on his hips, under his arms, belly, his ‘private area’, etc. I just knew he was so unhappy! Alex was so patient — even when Zeus scratched the heck out of his hand while he was attempting to clip Zeus’ nails. Alex tried several steps to calm him all while maintaining his composure and relaxed attitude. He asked lots of questions, listened to my preferences and was so nice and mellow.
Alex totally took care of my baby, to the point that Zeus was purring when I went to pick him up. He’d been clipped, shaved, combed, bathed, dried, ears cleaned and even a teeth cleaning. It took about 2.5hrs in total.
Alex gave me a tour of the kitty condo boarding service they have and it’s quite nice. Zeus would love to spend the day there as a respite from the new ‘sisters’ that drive him crazy!

| just got back from Cozy Cat with my 14 y.o. black cat Jack. He’s such a handsome boy after his grooming! Cozy Cat is a clean, quiet, and calm facility just for felines. Alex was great handling Jack and you can tell that he loves cats. It’s more expensive than other grooming establishments, and it’s well worth it because I know Jack is treated well. Also, I was given a tour of their boarding facility and I will definately board Jack there if his usual sitter can’t take care of him.

Just a quick update: Alex is still great and the cats are happy and beautiful with their teddy bear cuts.

Today, my beautiful Sofia was treated to first class service by Alex. A first time visitor, he walked me through the steps for her grooming and took time to coax her from her pet carrier so he could trim her nails and clean her ears while I was there. I am so happy with the results, I am bringing her 2 brothers in for grooming in 2 weeks. Thanks so much Alex!

I have been mening to write a review for this place for months now… here goes nothing!
Our cat, Koko D’Luxe, is an all black cat with anger issues and really sharp claws! She loves to eat… which has become the reason for misery and joy in her world. She became so big, she couldn’t properly clean herself, so she ended up with poopy-​butt and cat danglers that she couldn’t shake off like a Taylor Swift song.
Enter stage left: Alex!
He was a life saver!!! He cleaned, de-​matted, shaved, bathed, dried and brushed our cat to BBK

If there’s a Gene Juarez for kitties this is it. Perfect haircut every time and great attention to details! The establishment is very clean and relaxing as they only handle one «client» at a time.

When I adopted my Persian from Homeward Pet, she had been shaved due to mats. She looked adorable and I was told she had been helped at Cozy Cat. Now, 7 month later, I decided I needed some help with her grooming, so I took her to Cozy Cat, and Alex groomed her. As soon as I walked in I knew I made the right choice. Alex was really sweet and patient with my baby. She let him pretty much do whatever was needed. After I picked her up and got her home, she immediately climbed in my lap like nothing had happened. No stress or anxiety at all. I will definitely take my girls back to Alex for their grooming needs. I highly recommend Cozy Cat for your cat’s grooming needs.

My cats went to Cozy Cat for grooming and came back home very happy and in a perfect shape. This was the second time when we used Alex’s service. I respect his attention to details, professionalism and rich experience with cats. Their boarding room looks impressive — crystal clean and fresh air thanks to sophisticated ventilation system, immaculately clean facility, with plenty of «toys» (like the real birds and fishes) for cats. I can recommend Cozy Cat Boarding & Grooming without a single bit of hesitation.

I cannot even begin to state how happy we are with our experience from Cozy Cats. Our almost 7 year old Persian mix needed some drastic grooming, so after some research we decided on Cozy Cats. She has a Diva-​like temperament and hates new people, but once Alex took her out of her crate she immediately let him begin to clean her. It was incredible. Three hours later I brought her home with her new Majestic Lion cut and she has never been more cuddly, playful, and kitten-​like. Thank you so much, we will be returning to Alex and Cozy Cats in the future.

What a low-​stress place for a kitty to be groomed! I took my super-​shy Persian to Cozy Cat for the first time on Saturday. I chose Cozy Cat because of their «one cat at a time» approach, and am so glad I did! There was no wait for my kitty’s appointment, and she was finished at the time promised. Best of all, she did not seem stressed when I picked her up, as has been the case with busier groomers. Alex is so calm, positive, and professional, and Cozy Cat is a quiet environment. The only drawback for my kitty and me is the long drive from Seattle to Woodinville, but for me it’s worth it to avoid the noise and added stress of multiple groomings happening at the same time. My kitty is evidently feeling comfortable in her new shorter hairdo. Thank you, Alex!

I took my baby brat in for a lion cut this summer. Alex was awesome! I had the hook up that we work for a rescue together, so I got to hang out with him while he worked on Penny. Penny gets the wiggles and REFUSES to hold still, but he made it work! And in a way that I was comfortable to witness! Penny came out looking like she had sat perfectly still and didn’t have 1 dingle berry for 3.5 months. I think that is full of win.
I also got to tour their boarding center. It looks really nice. They have large kennels, tons of windows, and while I was there the staff were letting the cats out 1 by 1 and playing with them a little while cleaning.
The whole place has good juju, the people who work there want to be there. It feels like you are walking into a home not a business.
Oh! And the coffee shop down the street is pretty good, as well! ;)
