This is just a review for grooming and I cannot say enough nice things about my experience with California Cat Center and the woman that helped me, Ana. Ana was beyond helpful helping me navigate fleas on my cat and how to remedy them at home. She gave my cat a lions cut which is actually adorable. She gave me excellent advice and spoke to me on the phone several times. The price for the grooming was really fair and like I said, my cat looks so cute! I will definitely be back in the future. read more

I would like to give a big shout out to Ana and Cristina for helping me and my sister on her cat's grooming and boarding here. We had a tough situation, but they pulled through to help us. They really showed they cared and were professional, patient, and accommodating about the situation we had for my sister's cat. I told myself I would write a good review after our big experience there. Since then, we have a new groomer and boarding place for Meowth the cat. You guys rock! The facility from the outside looks small, but it's a big place with so many different rooms, storage, and playhouse for the cats. The place definitely lives to its name! read more

Oh, how we loved this place! And every person we dealt with was amazing! But apparently "change of management" happened and now you need to provide a full vet exam or have a full list of vaccinations in order to shave your cat's butt. But how convenient, they also own a vet clinic. So we found a new place. I've been bringing my cat there for 5 years, 3-4 times a year to wash, trim, shave etc but new owners care less about anything but money. All new ppl at the center. Also, prior to leaving this review, I called their manager and gave them a chance to make it right, they did not bother. Beware pet owners: if you don't want to deal with B S - avoid this place. read more

I brought my two 5 year old cats in for lion cuts, which includes nail trimming on all four paws. My tortie came home with bloody & shattered nails. Her nails were trimmed way too far down and her quicks were cut with no regard for her comfort. She has been limping around the house and is having difficulty jumping onto low surfaces. I am very disappointed and will not be bringing my girls back here. Please beware of this business for nail trims. Their lion cuts were well done but their disregard for my cat's comfort is outrageous and we will not be returning. read more

I have been a very happy customer for the last apprx 4 years. My cat is a long hair Maine Coon/ Norwegian Forest type breed rescue that didn't receive grooming 101 from Mom so he always struggled with his self grooming having so much fluff! I appreciate and feel very safe knowing they follow the industry standard of requiring all cats have rabies shot/ vaccine credentials for the safety of the staff and all our fur babies that visit! I have tried to groom my fur baby and of course he just isn't having it 80% of the time. I needed help big time after a few incidents of dingleberrys! Devon is AMAZING! Seriously a miracle worker. I drive all the way down from the Antelope Valley to get my cat a kitten clip, (focusing on a sanitary trim) wash and nail trim every 3-4 months. MAJOR LIFE IMPROVEMENT FOR BOTH OF US! I have tried other Cat /Dog focused mixed grooming facilities and my poor cat just can't handle the stress, he has peed during the visits there, hides for hours once home and generally anxious for prolonged periods after. I believe its the close proximity to dogs that is the stress inducer, as expected. However, here it is an absolutely night and day difference in his mood after the groom at this cat only facility. Absolutely worth the long drive for the peace of mind knowing he is well cared for and comes out looking great! No more stress induced behaviors and he is happy as a clam and his normal self as soon as we get home, Even more energetic with all that heavy fluff gone! Thank you! I honestly don't know what I would do without this service! read more

I could not ask for a better place for my pets than the California Cat Center. The staff are amongst the kindest people I've ever met. When I first brought my cats in, they made sure that everyone was comfortable and settled before I even left the building. They are not shy about allowing owners to go to the back to help put their kitties into their respective temporary hotels. The cages are more like mini condos and a full room is also available for rent if you would like your kitties to have extra space. The cats get plenty of enrichment while they are there. There are cages with Canaries throughout the facility for the kitties to watch. They also get playtime outside of their cages. Throughout their stay, I received emails with pictures and updates about my cats, which was a very nice surprise. I felt secure in knowing that there was a veterinarian on call in case of an emergency. On a more personal note, when one of my kitties passed away of old age I felt comfortable enough to let the California Cat Center know. They were heartbroken and sent us a sympathy card even before my own veterinarian did. They remember my kitties and get to know their little personalities. They aren't just a place for your kitties to stay while you're away. They are a home away from home with people that actually care. So far, I have boarded my cats with the California Cat Center a total of four times, with a planned stay at the end of this July. read more

Do not take your cats here! When I boarded my 2 cats for 3 days/2nights I left 3 days worth of food; when I picked them up I was given back 2 days worth of food? When I asked why they didnt feed my cats their reasoning was they "wouldnt eat". But they didnt offer them fresh food the 2nd & 3rd day so how would they know they would refuse to eat? Instead they left the same dried bowl of wet food in their cage for 3 days. When I dropped off my cats I was told to pick them up before 4pm, yet when I showed up they tried to claim I needed to pay an additional day since I showed up after 10am? This was never explained when I dropped the cats off, and when I called the same morning asking when the latest I could get them again no one mentioned there would be an additional charge for picking them up after 10am. When Ive taken my cats to be groomed Ive specifically requested they muzzle one as shes not friendly, the staff repeatedly chooses not to muzzle her. My cat did bite 1 employee once, but that same employee chose to continue grooming her every other time without a muzzle & claimed she had bonded with the cat. But today she told me a different story when refusing to take my cat for a scheduled appointment, she claimed now my cat has always bit her & they refuse to see her without up to date vaccines. That's completely fair, but the vaccine records are at my house, so my question is why not tell me I needed to bring them when I called & made the appointment? The receptionist pulled up our records over the phone when I made the appointment, yet there was no mention of out of date vaccines? I obviously would have brought them if I had known they were needed, but poor communication between employees seems common here. So I forced my cat in a carrier & on a car ride for nothing. Top this off with their constant raising of prices! $95 to trim my smaller cat's hair, no style or specific cut I just wanted it trimmed. But it was $85 for a lions cut, where way more hair is cut off & its a complicated style? I believe the original owners have moved on & put someone new in charge. Its obvious their new goal is profit over affordable & friendly service. read more

We will never not come to California Cat Center. We have been a cat family for almost 5 years now and have been a CCC family for almost that entire time as well. The only reason its not 5 years is because we hadn't heard of them, until my nephew cat Cyder went there. Everytime my Stevie Nicks and Stellaluna go there, they come back so relaxed and sleep all night. Which tells me three things: they're either magicians, my cats were pampered out of their little minds or both. They always remember us when we call which feels incredibly special and keeps us coming back. I love how sweet they are upon greeting my furry babies. Today however- wow, they made an effort to get our girls in because it was my littlest cat's 2nd birthday and WENT ABOVE and BEYOND by wishing her a happy birthday when she arrived! It was so personal and sweet. This is such a great place for your feline family members, you're crazy to go elsewhere! read more

Got a call back Friday morning at 8 and they gave me a appointment same morning at 11. The whole experience was pleasant.

I've always seen pictures of cat's getting the "lion cut" and have always laughed and thought to myself why the owners would do that to the poor kitty's but today I was one of those people. I called around and no one was able to take my little Jello in today except this place. They were so sweet over the phone, answering all questions (I'm a cat mom - do you expect anything less?) & when I took her in, Monica, asked me what I wanted and I told her that I wanted the white patch on Jello's chest untouched but everything else gone. I told her to shave her "boots" but if she was too wiggly then boots were fine. They called me about an hour and a half later and I was so excited to see Jello. I walked in and Monica was SO sweet. She let me see Jello before taking her and even shaved her a little more! I recommend this place! Jello looks like a cute lil lion but it's so funny seeing her shaved like this.

She was testing out the place for a few days and we started off by leaving her 1-2 hours a day, she was nervous of course, as a dog should be going into a new place. The weekend crew were extremely kind to her when she barked and calmed her down. But come Monday, there was a new person in the den and instead of trying to calm an anxious dog, he squirt her with a bottle multiple times to get her to stop barking. Which if you know anything about dogs, you should never do that to an anxious pup. We really liked it up until today, so just beware. Thankfully we were able to watch it all on camera and picked her up the second we felt it was getting out of hand. A note for the owner - please try to find alternative ways to help a dog who is struggling to settle. Spraying them in the face and chest multiple times is an ineffective way to stop an unwanted behavior. This is extremely detrimental to their behavioral development and only causes more fear.

Sit & Stay pet resort spa was amazing , they would text us photos keeping us updated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing.

You can tell she is a dog lover. She also has a beautiful backyard with a majestic tree that I wished I could hang out in. Her dog Bentley is an energetic but super sweet Whippet. Debbie sent daily updates and photos that helped ease my anxiety over leaving our pup for the first time. I would totally recommend Happy Paws and will definitely use again in future

Debbie was an incredible dog sitter! Our rescue dog Obbi is incredibly anxious and can be very…read morefearful of strangers. Debbie welcomed him with loving arms and took exceptional care of him despite his challenging personality. She is very responsive, sends daily updates with photos, and puts your mind at ease while you're away. She was a beautiful backyard for the dogs to play in and takes them on daily walks. She allowed us to drop off Obbi the afternoon before we traveled and didn't charge us! She was also super flexible with pickup time when we returned home. I really appreciate that she only boards one dog at a time, so they get her undivided attention and care. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much again, Debbie! Obbi can't wait to play with Bentley again!
