Cat grooming in Narre Warren.

Sophisticated Manes does. It is a mobile, cat-only practice: Sandi does not keep a salon in Narre Warren, and she does not take dogs at all. She has twelve years in the trade, and the last four of them have been cats and nothing else.

She is a Certified Feline Master Groomer, certified through the National Cat Groomers Institute since 2018, and she grooms from the skin up rather than the hair down.

No. Narre Warren is on the Melbourne side of the south east, further west than Berwick and still short of the edges she names. She covers South East Melbourne, and she travels as far as Drouin in the east and Hastings on the peninsula.

What she cannot tell from the suburb alone is the driveway. She asks for the full address before she agrees to come.

The trailer parks at the house. Your cat goes out in its carrier, for safety, and has one groomer’s attention for the session. Sandi needs a power point she can reach, a tap, and flat ground for the table.

A first session runs up to two hours and starts with a full coat and behavioural assessment. Sedation free, always. Full access to the property is required, so some houses and units cannot be serviced, and apartments are not something the setup can reach.

Send Sandi a question through the form on the contact page, or phone her on 0488 155 534. She reads it herself and calls or texts back to arrange the session, because she speaks to every new client before their first groom rather than handing them a calendar.

Monday to Thursday, 9am to 7pm. She asks for your address at booking, so she can confirm your place works before the trailer is on its way.
