5 Best Cat Grooming Services in Houston (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Fenris Morrow
By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 7 min read

Cat grooming in Houston is a narrow niche, and most of the highest-reviewed pet groomers here actually built their reputation on dogs. Among the businesses on this page, customers have logged over 1,600 combined Google reviews, though only two clearly offer dedicated cat grooming or cat-focused service.

Short answer: For cat-specific grooming, The Kitty Bodega in the Heights (4.8 stars, 262 reviews) is a cat specialty store that also offers cat grooming. Cat Boarding by Nourish (4.8, 259 reviews) focuses on cat boarding rather than grooming. Note this page is dominated by highly rated dog groomers whose businesses are not cat-specific; read each listing's actual focus before booking.

4.8259 Google reviews

Cat Boarding by Nourish is a Houston cat boarding and cattery service offering luxury accommodations, regular updates, and attentive care for cats while owners travel. It is run by a team with a background in veterinary medicine and pet nutrition, but its core service is boarding, not grooming.

  • Consistently praised for attentive, individualized care, including for cats with health needs
  • Regular photo and video updates during a cat's stay
  • Staff described as going well beyond basic care during medical issues

Worth knowing

Our take: A genuinely excellent, cat-specific business, but it boards cats rather than grooms them. Useful to know about if you're traveling, less relevant if grooming is specifically what you need.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, ranked against other businesses returned for this search. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does cat grooming cost in Houston? (2026)

Pricing for cat grooming typically depends on coat length, temperament and whether it’s a bath, de-shed or full shave-down. Mobile services that list cat pricing separately from dog pricing, like Furry Land, are worth calling directly for a current quote.

JobTypical price
Cat grooming add-on (shave down / specialty cut), from$25

Add-on pricing sourced directly from Furry Land of Greater Houston’s own published rate card, verified August 2026. Base grooming pricing for cats specifically was not published; confirm current full pricing directly with each business.

What to ask before you book cat grooming

  • Does this business specifically groom cats, not just dogs?
  • What experience does the groomer have handling cats specifically?
  • Is the service mobile, in-salon, or both?
  • What’s included in a standard cat grooming session versus an add-on like a shave-down?
  • How does the business handle an anxious or reactive cat?
  • What is the cost, and does it vary by coat length or condition?
