Cat Grooming
Most shops send cat owners away. I do not. Cats have always been welcome at KLC Kennels, and it is the part of this work I want to be known for again.
Your cat gets the same slow, patient handling every pet here gets, from a bath and brush-out to a full lion cut.
How It Works
Call, text, or send the form and tell me about your pet and what they need.
Drop your dog or cat at the shop on Millville Avenue at your appointment time.
Pick up a clean, comfortable, happy pet that was cared for like my own.

About KLC Kennels
My mom owned this shop, and I grew up here as the bather and the fill-in who learned to do it all. When she got sick I took over, and I have cared for it on my own ever since.
I love all animals and look at them like kids. Getting a pet is a choice, and that pet deserves to be raised and loved like our own children. I do not do this for the money. I do it for the fur babies. If you cannot always afford it, I will work with you, because I know life is hard and gets the best of us more than we like to admit.
More About MeCommon Questions
Yes. I groom cats as well as dogs, including baths, de-matting, lion cuts, and nail trims. Very few shops take cats, and I am glad to.
I have been at this same location for 39 years. I started as a bather helping my mom, who owned the shop, and took over caring for it all myself.
Yes. Along with grooming I board pets in a small, personal setting where they are watched over and cared for the whole time they stay.
I am open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am closed Tuesdays and Sundays.
I do this for the animals, not the money. If you cannot always afford it, talk to me and I will work with you. Life gets hard for all of us.
