Velvet Paws Cat Grooming Greenvale - Vet Qualified

Velvet Paws Cat Grooming is a feline-only grooming studio in Greenvale, in Melbourne's northern suburbs, run by Natalia, a qualified veterinarian who turned years of small-animal practice toward grooming cats. The studio works exclusively with cats, so there are no barking dogs and the room stays quiet and calm from drop-off to pickup.

The defining feature here is the anaesthesia-free approach. Rather than sedating difficult cats, Natalia relies on gentle restraint, an understanding of feline behaviour and a willingness to slow down and take breaks, which makes the studio a fit for anxious, aggressive and rescue cats as well as easygoing ones. Her veterinary background also means each session doubles as an informal health check, with an eye for lumps, skin and dental issues, and grooming routines adapted for senior cats and those with conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or arthritis. Premium hypoallergenic, cat-safe products are used throughout, and owners receive photo updates during the session.

For cat owners across Greenvale and the surrounding north who want their cat handled by someone with clinical training and no sedation involved, it is a considered choice.
