mallytwo – just gorgeous !
This is Mallytwo – a lovely tortie Maine Coon. As described by her mum, Mallytwo’s distinguishing feature is simply being “Gorgeous” !!
It’s been a while since Mallytwo has been formally groomed but she’s managed to look after her coat very well. She had a few small clumps around her backend which needed attention, and good brush out all over – especially that lovely long, enormous tail ! Mallytwo knew exactly what was going on !
Mum Peggy from Oldham, Greater Manchester later fed back to us :
“Mallytwo had not been groomed properly for 3 yrs due to my illness …Sandra came along and it was just as if they knew one another for years…Mallytwo is my beautiful baby girl cat ….who is 16 yrs old and only has 4 teeth…but she is my SOULMATE…..i love her to the moon and stars….so thank you Sandra for grooming her beautifully….looking forward to her next groom…..love from me and Mallytwo xxx”
Look forward to seeing you both again soon, Peggy and Mallytwo …!
bonnie and clyde
18 month old Bonnie and Clyde are extremely good looking Maine Coon littermates.
Clyde, on the left, has Black Smoke / White colouring. He is already a big strong guy. He let us work through his coat with minimum fuss – clipping away what couldn’t be saved, and brushing out the rest.
Bonnie is quite a lot smaller than her brother Clyde, as you’d expect. She is quite a vocal young lady, and chatted away to us throughout the session.
After the sessions had ended, both Bonnie and Clyde decided to come back into the room to help with the clearing up. So good of them … Or just typical, nosey, cats ?!
Following our visit, mum Kay from Fulwood, Preston, Lancashire fed back :
“Bonnie and Clyde’s first grooming session with Sandra went really well. A fantastic service and a much better option than having to put my cats through the stress of a car journey to visit the vet, neither of which they enjoy! Cleaned, groomed, nails tidied, and de-knotted all in the comfort of their own home. My two long haired maine coon’s were a big job, but Sandra was great with the cats, in turn making them much more relaxed throughout the session. A very well organized, and thorough job done! I will definitely recommend and use EssentiallyPurrfect again.”
Thanks so much, Kay, for your comments …. Of course we’d love to see the babes again in due course !

mr midge
This handsome fellow is Midge – a rather placid short haired guy, with lovely markings.
We were called in to work through Midge’s extremely thick coat, which required a thorough brush out to remove the small clumps that had formed around his body. Midge behaved well … a little fidgety to begin with, but settled down and allowed his thickest parts to be brushed through with minimum fuss.
Following the session, a top up at the food station was the first thing on Midge’s mind ! Mum Anna from Ramsbottom, Nr Bury, Greater Manchester later said :
“Having searched the web for a local mobile cat groomer it didn’t take me long to find Sandra at EssentiallyPurrfect. She came around this morning to tend to my very matted Midge !! Although he had his moments, he was fairly calm and certainly after the nearly 2 hr groom looked like a new cat ( even though he is nearly 18!!!). Sandra was fab – very calm and professional and she did a fab job of Midge’s coat. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get their cats groomed as she has made Midge into a new puss!!! Thanks Sandra xx”
miss miffy
Say Hi to Miffy from Stockport, Greater Manchester. A very pretty 8 year old, long haired, tortoiseshell.
Miffy had developed some tangles and matted areas around her back end, sides and tummy which needed attention. We clipped away what couldn’t be saved and gave her remaining hair a brush out.
She’s a very vocal lady, and talked throughout the session. We’re sure she was quite aware of what the session was about as almost immediately afterwards she started with a little self grooming. Now her coat isn’t as overwhelming, we hope she’ll be able to keep on top of it.
Dad Neil from Stockport, Greater Manchester later told us :
“Miffy is a much happier cat after her grooming. So much so that she’s started bringing home dead birds again ! This is worrying for the local bird population”.
Oh, cheeky lady ! …. but pleased you’re feeling more comfy, Miffy.
pretty gizmo
Here’s Gizmo – a very pretty 1 year old longhaired girl.
Gizmo has been at her new home for a few months now and is really settling well into family life and her surroundings. She is obviously much loved, and she knows it !
We were recently asked to meet up with Gizmo, for the first time.
Following the session, mum Aimee from Adlington, Chorley, Lancashire said :
“I found EssentiallyPurrfect on a web search. Excellent service and handled Gizmo really well. Will definitely be recommending their services to friends.”
It was lovely to work with you Gizmo … Thanks for calling us in, Aimee !!
friendly finnegan
We were recently delighted to be asked to work with Finnegan, an exceptionally handsome Domestic Long Hair (DLH) tabby. We think Finnegan is around 10 years old, and he found his current mum about 3 years ago. As mum says – Finnegan found her at the rescue centre, not the other way around. We’re not sure of his prior history, but the trust and bond that has been built up with his new mum is incredible to observe.
First we clipped Finnegan’s nails, then moved onto a good brush out to relieve him of dead undercoat. Finnegan lets mum comb him regularly, and his coat was in good condition with no tangles at all. His behaviour throughout the session was impeccable !
Following our visit, mum Natalie from Middleton, Manchester said :
“I was apprehensive as to how the session would go due to the fact that Finnegan is a rescue cat and is extremely nervous around strangers. Sandra immediately put both Finnegan and I at ease. The grooming process was both professionally and carefully done with the approach taken being purrfect(!) for Finnegan, with breaks being taken when needed. I will be using Sandra’s services again and would happily recommend her to other people wanting to go the extra mile for their cat.”
Thanks so much Natalie for letting us work with your boy, and we look forward to our next visit !
light as a feather
Come and say a big Hello to Feathers – a beautiful 9 years old white Persian.
This was the first time we’d been called in to work with Feathers. She was such a gentle lady and soon settled down on the grooming table, and took the session all in her stride. She didn’t mind her nails being clipped and was amenable to being positioned to best reach her hidden bits ! We were able to tease out one or two small tangles with the fingers, and then gave Feathers a good brush out to relieve her of dead undercoat. She didn’t mind her eyes being cleaned, nor her ears …. by the end of the session, Feathers looked so relaxed, she could easily have dropped off asleep !
Following our session, mum Kierstan from Wrightington, Wigan fed back to us :
“What I would say is that the home grooming was majorly beneficial not just to me, but to Feathers too. It allowed Feathers to stay relaxed in an environment she was used to, and also gave me the comfort of seeing exactly how you groomed her – as well as benefiting from the convenience of you coming to the house.
Feathers appeared to enjoy the grooming, and was very relaxed and it was very evident she was comfortable with you Sandra. I thought it particularly considerate of you to include the cat in the grooming, allowing her to smell the brushes and conditioners – it was only a little thing, but it’s the small things that make the difference.”
It was good to work with Feathers, Kierstan. She looked like a little princess when we’d finished, and we are looking forward to seeing her again in a couple of months time !
sweet bubbles
We were recently asked to meet up with Bubbles, an extremely handsome 3 year old grey Persian Chinchilla from Preston, Lancashire. Bubbles has been with his new mum for only 3 or 4 months, but is settling in well – and he thinks he rules the roost !
We gave his long, thick coat a thorough brush out and removed lots of dead hair and a few small knots. Bubbles had been playing out all night, the night before we visited, and had to be disturbed from his morning kip when we arrived. He promptly resumed his nap, as soon as we’d finished !
A couple of weeks later, mum Barbara commented that she has since been able to brush him for a few minutes each day to keep on top of the situation.
lady kitty
We were called in to work with an 11 year old ginger lady called Kitty, who over recent weeks had developed mats around her body, which needed attention.
Initially the aim of the groom was to tease out and save hair where possible, but it soon became apparent that this wasn’t the right approach as Kitty was uncomfortable with the brushing of the remaining hair – which, due to it’s thickness, still needed to be worked through quite vigourously. So we set about a full clip. Even the hair way down Kitty’s legs and on the feet was so thick and clumpy, it took a while to attend to.
Overall, Kitty behaved very well and let us work through her coat. On a couple of occasions she already seemed to be ‘helping’ with the grooming of herself !
Following our session, mum Christina from Blackburn, Lancashire said :
“I was really stressed about the condition of Kitty’s coat. She suffers from a neurological condition and arthritis, and hasn’t groomed herself for a long time. Kitty was also very sensitive to me grooming her and didn’t give me much time to make a difference. Her coat had become badly matted in places and I really needed help to sort her out. Sandra not only rescued me, but also Kitty – who now seems a lot more content.”
Glad we could be of service Christina, and pleased that Kitty is feeling more comfortable with her new coat !
