Planning a cat-grooming visit in San Rafael
Cat's Cradle allows grooming without boarding, but its cat-grooming page specifies Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings. Plan around those grooming slots rather than general boarding reception hours. If you are already arranging an overnight stay, ask how the groom is scheduled relative to collection and whether it is separately itemized. If you need only coat or nail care, do not assume boarding is necessary. The grooming page requests rabies vaccination; resolve documentation with the provider before arrival.
