Cat-Only Expertise. Calm, Gentle Grooming. Real Peace of Mind.
If you’ve ever worried about how your cat will cope with grooming, this service was designed specifically for you.
Our Kingston, Ontario–based feline grooming service is handled exclusively by Melissa, a dedicated cat-only grooming specialist. While dogs are present in the salon, Melissa works solely with cats and understands when a quieter environment is essential.
For cats that are particularly nervous or sensitive to dogs, grooming is done in a dedicated cat space, away from noise and distractions. This allows anxious, senior, or easily overstimulated cats to be groomed calmly and safely, without unnecessary stress.
Melissa also owns a cat boarding facility and has completed multiple feline behaviour courses, giving her deep insight into feline handling, stress signals, and comfort thresholds. Each groom is adjusted in real time based on your cat’s tolerance — never rushed, never forced.
Melissa is at Classy Canines primarily on Wednesdays, allowing cat owners to book during a time specifically focused on feline services and a calmer grooming flow.
Whether your cat needs a full shave, a lion clip, de-shedding treatment, or a gentle bath, the goal is always the same: healthy skin, a well-maintained coat, and the least stressful experience possible.

Feline Teeth Cleaning (Non-Sedated | APL Program)
Cats need dental care too, and Melissa’s feline specialization extends beyond grooming.
Melissa works with APL, a professional teeth-cleaning company that visits the salon approximately every 8 weeks. Through this program, she provides non-sedated feline teeth cleaning using gentle hand scaling techniques, designed to minimize stress while supporting oral hygiene.
This service is ideal for cats that tolerate handling but may not be candidates for sedated veterinary dental procedures. It also reflects Melissa’s broader commitment to feline wellness and professional standards.
