5 Best Cat Grooming Services in Toronto (2026)

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

Most grooming salons in Toronto build their business around dogs, so finding one that actually handles cats well takes some digging. Cat grooming here runs through salons with 196 to 653 reviews each, all rated between 4.4 and a perfect 5.0, and reviewer mentions of actual cat visits, not just dogs, vary a lot between them. Two names on this page, Pet Spa Toronto and Paws at Fort York, have specific cat grooming stories in their reviews worth reading before you book.

Short answer: For documented experience with cats specifically, Pet Spa Toronto (4.7, 256 reviews) has reviewers describing Lions Cuts and mat removal on Ragdoll and Siamese cats. Paws at Fort York (5.0, 218 reviews) also lists cat grooming as a service and has a reviewer naming her cat by name in the review. The other salons on this page focus overwhelmingly on dogs in their reviews, so ask directly about cat experience before booking one of those.

  • Multiple locations across the GTA, including North York and Newmarket
  • Consistent staff assigned to regular clients by name

Our take: A large, established operation with proven gentle handling in the one cat review we found, but it's primarily a dog salon. Worth a call to confirm cat grooming availability and pricing before booking.

Paws at Fort York

5.0218 Google reviews

Paws at Fort York, near the harbourfront, lists cat grooming as a distinct service on its own site alongside dog grooming, training, and boarding. One reviewer describes bringing her cat Mikhail in for grooming with the same groomer, Iris, repeatedly, specifically praising the comfort and care taken during his appointments.

What people praise

  • Cat grooming listed explicitly as a standalone service, not an afterthought
  • One reviewer's cat, Mikhail, has a documented pattern of repeat visits with the same groomer
  • Perfect 5.0 rating across 218 reviews
  • Staff let new pets familiarize themselves with the space before the appointment

Worth knowing

  • Cat-specific reviews are a small minority relative to the overall review count, which leans toward puppies and dogs

Pet Spa Toronto

4.7256 Google reviews

Pet Spa Toronto, on Jarvis Street, books entirely through Square and its own site offers little detail, but reviewers fill in the gap: one describes bringing in a Ragdoll and Siamese mix cat for a Lions Cut to remove mats and keep him cool for summer, praising the groomer's patience with matting worse than expected. Another reviewer separately mentions a bath, blow dry, and on-the-spot nail trim for one of her cats.

What people praise

  • Multiple independent reviews describe actual cat grooming appointments in detail
  • Groomer described as calm and patient during a difficult mat-removal case
  • Same-day, walk-in style nail trims available per reviewer accounts

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer describes a pricing dispute over a quote versus the final charge, ultimately resolved at the original price
  • Site itself provides minimal information; most detail comes from reviews rather than the business's own marketing

Our take: The most cat-specific review evidence on this page, including an actual Lions Cut on a genuinely matted coat. The pricing dispute is worth being clear about costs upfront to avoid.

What people praise

  • Site explicitly lists cat grooming and Lion Cuts for cats as offered services
  • Reviewers repeatedly praise the skill and honesty of specific staff on complex work like hand stripping
  • Owner personally involved and responsive to every review

Worth knowing

  • No reviews in our sample specifically describe a cat grooming visit

Watch: 5 Best Cat Grooming Services in Toronto (2026)

How we score

Rating is each salon’s live Google average. Volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against comparable Toronto grooming salons. Confidence blends rating with volume, so a small number of five-star reviews doesn’t outrank a salon with hundreds behind it. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

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

None of the five salons publish specific cat grooming prices on their sites, pricing tends to depend on coat length, matting severity, and whether a full Lions Cut or just a bath and trim is needed. Ask each salon directly for a current quote, and clarify the price before the appointment starts given one reviewer’s experience with a quote changing on arrival.

Cat grooming across Toronto

These five are clustered around King Street West, Fort York, Jarvis Street, and St Clair Avenue West, giving decent coverage from the harbourfront up through midtown. Searching “cat grooming near me” in central Toronto will likely surface at least two or three of these within a short trip.

What to ask before booking cat grooming

  • Do you have experience grooming cats specifically, not just dogs?
  • Can you handle a nervous or handling-averse cat?
  • What’s your approach to a badly matted coat, do you recommend a Lions Cut?
  • Is the quoted price final, or can it change based on the cat’s size or coat condition?
  • How long does a typical cat grooming appointment take?
  • Do you offer a fix-up if I’m not happy with the result?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these cat grooming salons?

We looked at Toronto pet groomers with a real Google presence, then ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently customers are still reviewing them. We also checked each business’s reviews and site copy specifically for evidence of cat grooming, not just dog grooming.

Do all of these salons actually groom cats?

All five list cat grooming as a service, but the depth of cat-specific review evidence varies. Pet Spa Toronto and Paws at Fort York have the clearest documented cat grooming experience in their reviews; the other three lean heavily toward dog grooming in what customers describe.

How often is this updated?

We refresh this list periodically using current Google data; this version was verified in August 2026.

The bottom line

If cat-specific experience matters most, Pet Spa Toronto and Paws at Fort York have the clearest evidence of real cat grooming work in their reviews. The other salons list the service but lean heavily toward dogs in practice, so a quick call to confirm cat experience is worth the five minutes before you book.
