My Journey: From Shelter Veterinarian to Cat Grooming Specialist
I recently lost my beloved 19-year-old cat, Boncuk. She taught me that every moment with our feline friends is precious, and every cat deserves to feel loved, comfortable, and beautiful.
Hi, I'm Natalia. For over 12+ years, I've dedicated my life to caring for animals - first as a veterinarian at one of the largest animal shelters in my home country, and now as Melbourne's most passionate cat groomer.
My journey began at veterinary school, but it was my years at the animal shelter performing daily surgeries that truly shaped who I am today. Every day, I was in the operating room, saving lives and giving animals a second chance. I personally treated thousands of animals, with cats always holding a special place in my heart.
"When Boncuk passed away after 19 beautiful years together, I made a promise: Every cat I groom would receive the same gentle care I gave her. Your cat isn't just another appointment - they're family."
Today, I share my Greenvale home with two rescue cats - Leo and Lilu - who remind me daily why I chose this path. They're my quality control team, testing every new product and technique before I use them on your precious felines!
What Drives Me Every Day:
- ❤️ The memory of Boncuk and all the animals I helped save at the shelter
- ❤️ Knowing that gentle grooming can transform a cat's quality of life
- ❤️ Seeing anxious cats finally relax and trust again
- ❤️ The joy on owners' faces when they see their cat looking beautiful
