Cats living in M 24 run into the same problem as cats anywhere else in the capital's numbered sectors: plenty of homes, no grooming salon within walking distance. The long-haired ones in particular want a proper session every few weeks, or the coat starts knotting behind the ears and along the flanks. Travelling groomers who work this stretch of the mainland are all listed on Salonist, and pet grooming options in M 24 puts them on one page with prices and open times.
A session takes in a hands-on health and coat check, a full brush-out, de-matting wherever the comb catches, a wash if the cat is used to one, a blow-dry, nails, ears and a trim around the hindquarters. Long-haired cats sometimes want the fur between the paw pads tidied as well. Budget forty-five minutes to an hour and a half, and be honest with the groomer beforehand about how your cat behaves when it is handled.
Pricing here tends to run AED 95 to 165 for short coats, AED 135 to 240 for long ones and AED 210 to 355 for a lion cut, with anything badly matted costing more in time at the table. Add the call-out if the groomer comes to you rather than the other way round. Set all of that against cat grooming in M 3 before you decide.
Once the groom is over, leave the cat alone to reset, top up the water bowl and look at the ears again in a couple of days. In a flat where the cooling never switches off, a weekly comb is worth more than one heroic detangling session a month. The same holds over at cat grooming in M 32 2.
No groomer is registered at an address in M 24 yet, so every option arrives by van from elsewhere on the mainland, which most cat owners prefer anyway given how badly cats cope with car journeys in summer. Salonist handles the booking, the payment and the reviews from start to finish. If the diaries are full, look at cat grooming in M 37 and cat grooming in M 40.
