What distinguishes this business
The Cat's Meow separates an ordinary stay from its paid straight-through option
The Cat's Meow in Richfield estimates a normal grooming stay at two-and-a-half to three hours, while a roughly sixty-minute uninterrupted appointment needs advance arrangement and an extra fee. Its cats-only setting does not make every visit a private rush service. The salon also requires a grooming return within six months to remain on its client list, a booking condition rather than an individual veterinary care recommendation.

A question worth settling
Should I reserve the normal or rush format, and what package, return interval and written rabies proof are required for my cat?
The published bath or haircut starting range is $112–$190, with matting charged according to the work. Although the page says packages include bathing, its specifically listed no-bath lion trim is an exception and includes the shave and nails. A plush lion trim requires a mat-free coat. The homepage requires a card to hold appointments and states a $75-per-cat fee for changes within 48 hours or missing current rabies paperwork. Tags alone are not accepted. Confirm the chosen format and final inclusions before booking.
