One system, many care paths

The cat does not have to fit a narrow service phenotype.

Cats in the City accepts the cat who arrives: young or old, social or reactive, routine or medically complex. That requires a system able to identify what is happening, modify care in real time, and connect families with the next appropriate resource.

Certified TANDEM Cat grooming facility
Professional standards

TANDEM Cat® was built because cats move.

Two-person feline care allows the handler and groomer to respond to movement together. The result is less reliance on force, more continuous support, and more room to adapt care to age, anatomy, mobility, medical complexity, sound sensitivity, and emotional state.
