“As you know, Betty was a rescue cat after being abandoned and ill treated. It has taken us some time to get her to trust us and she does not like being picked up and stroking her is on her terms only. We have been struggling to groom her and because she has a baggie belly she cannot reach some areas to groom herself. Betty also is troubled with the occasional fur ball. Betty was not the model cat in the grooming session however I was impressed with your patient and gentle approach throughout the session resulting in a bag of dead puddy fluff being removed from Betty. After the session she has been strutting her stuff, giving the impression that ‘she’s sexy and she knows it !’. Betty looks great, more streamlined and her fur shines, feels silky and there is no dandruff. Thank you Sandra. Please let me know when you have sorted out the March appointments as I would like to book Betty in ..”

“Sandra, thank you so much for your time and patience with Molly. Your calm, soothing manner helped put her so at ease – so much so she seemed to be enjoying it. I was so worried she would be stressed but not at all !! Would not hesitate to recommend you and look forward to seeing you again in a few months time “

“As you know, the last time Belle was professionally groomed it was under general anaesthetic. Thank you so much for taking on my tiger !! She scratched, clawed, bit, wailed and generally carried on shamefully throughout the entire session, which I expected. I’m amazed that you stuck with it Sandra and carried on regardless !! Belle looks so much better now and is a lot more comfortable. One brave lady – Sandra. Thank you, Sarah”

I found EssentiallyPurrfect on a web search.  Excellent service and handled Gizmo really well.  Will definitely be recommending their services to friends.

“Sandra came around yesterday to my 2 long haired boys, Vince and George. I have 6 cats altogether but the other 4 are short haired.  Sandra was recommended by a very good friend whose gorgeous Ragdoll Milly is regularly groomed. Sandra arrived and immediately crouched on the floor and started to interact with the boys, stroking them and letting them smell her. We’d already had a chat about the boys needs: Vince is a large cat and unfortunately had some large matted areas on his back. We’d already discussed clipping them and giving him a brush through. Sandra was so patient with him. I stood in the room, talking to him and reassuring him as he is a very timid, shy cat and he wasn’t exactly enjoying his pampering session. She was so good at holding him gently yet firmly and clipping his matted fur off. She brushed him through and even managed to clip his claws. He looked amazing after-he’s so soft and it must be such a relief for him.  George was next and I knew he’d be a good client as he is such a laid back, chilled out little boy that loves being brushed.  He was very compliant and let Sandra work her magic on him. He has a thick, long winter coat and she was so thorough.  He was happy to lie there and roll over when required.  She spent a good 90mins if not longer combing him.  There was enough fur to make another George after !  Sandra was absolutely brilliant. She exceeded my already high expectations and she did a wonderful job on my gorgeous boys. Vince has been purring constantly today, rolling around flirting and strutting around. He’s even been for a brush a couple of times. George is George and will never stop flirting but he looks fantastic.  Thank you so much for all the time you took on them. You did such a brilliant job on them. I will recommend you to anybody that will listen lol !  Wishing you all the best for the New Year x”

“Moggy Boo meows his thanx to you for being so patient with him and making him feel much much lighter but he says he now catches a breeze now his underwears gone .. his fur feels great after your hard work especially with the conditioner. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Thank you. boo & tiggz”

Sandra from EssentiallyPurrfect visited my cat Fudge on 3 April and a did a marvellous job on cutting his claws which he generally hates !  She put him totally at ease and the whole procedure was performed quickly and painlessly  !  Very professional and friendly service.  Will use again and would most definitely recommend !  Thanks again.

“Thank you Sandra – you have done a brilliant job on Shiloh. Would highly recommend Sandra for grooming. My Persian has had a lion clip as she was really matted and now looks fab xx”

“I’m very happy with the service and Kiki was like a new cat afterwards and no more hair on the carpets!   Have booked again for every 3-4 moths, and highly recommend Sandra”

“Thanks again for getting Eloise back on track with her coat, she looks great. Since your visit, really chilled out and relaxed. Looking forward to your next visit x”
