Khor Al Maqtaa lines the water where the island meets the mainland, a mix of low-rise villas, newer compounds and quiet residential streets. A good many of those homes keep a long-haired cat, and a Persian coat left alone for a few weeks will knot behind the ears and under the front legs. Salonist collects the mobile cat groomers and clinic teams covering this stretch, and the pet grooming options in Khor Al Maqtaa page is the quickest route to one with a free slot.
Sessions follow a steady order. The groomer looks the cat over first, feeling for lumps, scabs, fleas and tangles, then works through the coat with a comb and a de-matting tool, bathes the cat if it tolerates being wet, dries it on a quiet setting, trims the claws, wipes out the ears and tidies the fur around the back end. Most cats are finished inside the hour, though a badly knotted coat can push that towards ninety minutes. Nothing counts for more than an unhurried pair of hands, since a cat that panics early rarely settles again.
Prices near the water sit a shade under what the prime island districts ask. Reckon on roughly AED 100 to 175 for a shorthair, AED 145 to 250 for a long coat and AED 220 to 380 for a lion cut, with de-matting billed separately once the fur has felted. Compare those numbers with cat grooming in M 11 if you are weighing up two quotes.
Afterwards, keep the cat indoors for the rest of the day and let it settle somewhere warm, because a freshly clipped animal feels the air conditioning far more sharply than you would expect. Owners who book cat grooming in M 13 tend to nudge the thermostat up a degree for the first night.
There is still no cat groomer trading from a unit inside Khor Al Maqtaa itself, so every booking goes to somebody who travels in, usually with a fitted van or a portable table. Salonist handles the diary, the payment and the reviews, so you never have to chase a phone number around. Also worth a look are cat grooming in M 16 and cat grooming in M 2.
