Cats kept in and around the Yas Plaza area live almost entirely indoors, and that steady cooled air keeps them dropping fur twelve months of the year. Salonist brings the travelling cat groomers who serve this pocket of the island into one list, complete with what they charge and when they are free. Have a look through the pet grooming options in Yas Plaza page before you decide.
The work itself is unhurried by design. A groomer checks the cat over, brushes right through the coat, splits or clips whatever has knotted, offers a wash to cats that will take one, dries on a low setting, trims the claws, cleans the ears and finishes with a hygiene tidy. Long-haired cats whose coats have felted are better served by a clip than by an hour of pulling. Three quarters of an hour to an hour and a half is the usual range. Neighbouring bookings often go to cat grooming in Z1.
Pricing follows the coat. Short-haired cats are generally AED 115 to 190, long-haired cats AED 155 to 265, and a complete lion clip AED 230 to 395. Where matting is severe the groomer will add de-matting time, and a home visit includes a travel charge. It is easy to check that against cat grooming in Z12.
Afterwards, a few habits keep the coat right. Comb through the trousers and the chest twice a week, keep the cat away from an open balcony door in high summer, and give a clipped cat somewhere warm to sit while it gets used to the change. Groomers listed for cat grooming in Z15 will say something similar.
At present nobody grooms cats from a shop in Yas Plaza itself, so the service comes to you by van from other parts of Abu Dhabi. Most cat owners here prefer that anyway, since a car journey in the heat undoes any calm the groom creates. Salonist puts 15,000+ businesses across 60+ countries and 2 million+ reviews behind the choice, with in-app payment and no phone calls. cat grooming in Z25 is another route worth checking.
