Trying to pill an uncooperative, almost 30 lb. cat is a dicey proposition (smile) -- but the "H-Bar-S Pet Piller" gives you much better odds. There are knock-offs that look like it, but for some reason they do not work the same (the tip material???). The H-Bar-S Pet Pillers keep getting harder and harder to find: My Newport Beach CA vet no longer sells; Amazon once did, but hasn't for long a while; two online places that had pictures of the H-Bar-S sent knock-offs instead; H-Bar-S does not sell direct; and the veterianary supply place that I last purchased from, no longer sells to the public. But, I found them at THE CAT CONNECTION, 1500 miles away in Dallas, TX!!! The price was good, the service quick, and the communication excellent. I would guess that any business that has it so together, probably does everything else great too! read more

We love cat connection! Amazing staff and great service. Our cat had some blood in his urine and the groomer noticed, let us know, and we took our cat to the vet and discovered he had a bladder stone! So grateful for their attentiveness. Highly recommend. read more

Great options for cat toys and accessories. Some items are higher priced compared to the big box stores but the quality of the items are better read more

This is an out of the way location. You need to want to go here otherwise you'd never know it existed. It's in an old outdoor office complex type of strip center, has some great shade trees! Parking lot is a bit worn down tho, and not a lot of businesses are in these strip center. Inside, there wasn't as much cat items as I'd hoped. Being a cat specific store, we'd anticipated finding some items that aren't normally in the chain stores. Staff was ok, seems they do a lot of grooming which most folks we encountered here were having done for their feisty felines. They had a few off the wall items, but overall, there wasn't much on the shelves that most chain stores don't already have. read more

Had to board 2 cats for a day. They were fine and came home happy. Clean facilities with merchandise for sale and occasional cat adoptions

They really hurt one of my pets when grooming. Then they tried to say it wasn't their fault. Changed the story several times. Not for the money they charge. Unacceptable. Make you drop off early in the morning and have to wait late in the day for pickup. read more

Unfortunately my Persian cat's hair has not grown back since we were there. Her hair was cut so low you saw pink skin. She was not matted in that area either! Seems her hair follicles are damaged. I can only hope she grows the hair on her back at some point. She looks like she has had radiation with the few hairs that have tried to grow. And no she doesn't have a medical condition. read more

They do such a great job with my Ragdoll. Gave him a lion cut and he's adorable, also got rid of his summer shed matting. He's quite squirming and wiggly so I'm very impressed with the evenness of the cut. read more

I recently got a cat and I chose a brand of food called RAWZ. I bought my first sample set on Amazon (it was so pricey) so I looked online to find a store near by that carried it. This place was the closest to my house that sold it (50 min). This place is small but great. They offer cat services as well; but the store front has a great selection of premium cat food brands and raw brands. As well as your normal cat accessories. I was able to pick up more samples of other flavors as well as toppers and kibble. Because my drive is a tad long; I'll probably start ordering cases online from them. Staff was nice and if you love cats go here! read more

Great! , patient and professional thank you for your patience and help Bella is aggressive and has claw's, she bites and is a mean bitch to strangers. They cut her nails and shampoo/groomed her so purrfect! Thank you so much! We are coming back!! Mila and Manzoor and Bella read more

Wonderful service by cat connection for our two british shorthair male cats with basic service plus tummy shave, all for a reasonable price. The cats good thru this summer and till next summer, as their thick coat at tummy is now gone. Lindsay was really good with her grooming work and made a good effect on the cats. The cats are much happier now. Highly recommend this place if you hold your cats dear and near to yourself. read more

Our cat, Archduke Frans Purrrdinand, descendant of the noble felines of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is perhaps the most finicky cat in existence. Thankfully, this well-stocked cattery allows us to keep his favorite munchies in stock, including Cornish game hens, who's carcasses Franzi drags into his parlor to steadily devour atop his Victorian-era, tufted velvet accent chase lounge. We were also able to find his favorite albino beluga sturgeon caviar in stock, just in time for his birthday, which he celebrated by laying into his new cashmere scratching post before making a "boom" in his Spiaggia Rosa-sand litter throne. read more

They did an awesome job giving my ragdoll cat the Lion Cut. This is a great cut for the hot months.

I brought my cat in to get groomed for the first time (we just moved here and he had been groomed for years before this). He is naturally very docile and all groomers up to the have commented on how gentle and compliant he is with grooming. Cat connection kept him in a room with agitated cats. After two hours of driving, they said he was upset and they wouldn't groom him. I honestly feel like if you have a new cat - don't keep him in a room with agitated cats and expect him to feel safe. Anyway, terrible experience - will never be going back. Hated it. read more

The cat connection has everything you could possibly want when it comes to your feline friends! They also have a fabulous boarding facility. read more

Nice people who are excellent at what they do! This was my first time at Cat Connection. I chose them because my Vet recommended them. They are now my new cat groomer! My senior cat was in desperate need of a haircut. He usually gets a cut in April but we were sheltering in place. By the time I felt ok about taking him for his summer cut he was pretty matted. They did a great job cleaning him up and taking care of him in general. He looks so cute! He also came home happy as can be - he's usually kind of mad when he gets home from grooming but not this time. I also love that it's a cat store - no smell of dogs or barking to worry him. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs too. I'm just saying that's a BIG plus for a cat groomer. read more

Act like you're happy to see your clients. Act like you like cats-even the ones who are scared because they're out of their comfort zones. Extend courtesy to your clients with a friendly greeting or hold the door open if their hands are full. I've boarded here several times but you never remember my cats. Unfortunately it's like this every time. My cat loves his vet but never seems to like it at Cat Connection. I think I better start listening to my cat. read more

Bumping up this because I did get what I ordered and it was all in good condition. But in general communication needs improvement - my online order went without any communication besides an auto generated confirmation, and when I checked on it through the link it went from pending to back ordered on the website but no information was ever conveyed to me until I emailed asking about it. Also, update your hours on Yelp because, unfortunately, that's where I searched for the store hours. read more

This is the best place to take your cat to get groomed. I have a very anxious cat and she adores this place. She is always so happy when she comes home. They are very kind and professional! read more

We have been going to Cat Connection for two years now. They recently moved, so heads up. The new location as to today doesn't have a sign so we were terribly lost. We called and the individual who answered the phone placed us on a 5 minute hold. Once she resumed the call, we were informed that if we didn't arrive in 15 mins we would be cancelled with a fee. After chasing our cat around a three story townhome for 30 minutes to place her in a carrier, the statement was rather off putting and to top matters off, I asked if they could trip the long hair on her stomach, which has been done before and the response was "we don't normally do that". The charge for the grooming will probably be well over $120 and then you add a tip, a few toys, you're walking out with a wallet missing about $180.00. read more

The cat cafe was just adorable, but I somehow felt that the little felines did not feel very open to a slew of visitors all at once. They've been on the clock since 9am and I showed up around 2 hours later and the cats were pretty purred out. I feel a slight guilt for going to see their furry faces since they just wanted sleep. Poor babies. So my first cat cafe experience was alright. But I wouldn't mind for them to have a lot of cat cafes opening at once, to distribute the crowds from tiring out the cats. But the store itself was very clean, tidy, and organized. It has such whimsicle cat related things, from fuzzy collars to cat toys galore. I recommend checking this place out for your feline friend, for there's a big selection of things you can find. read more

When I adopted my cat, soon I noticed he has some tangled hairs that I can't brush out. So I searched and called some placed for cat grooming, most of pet grooming only take dogs. Cat connection front desk staffs are friendly; groomer is professional, cut the right amount for long hair cat. My cat wasn't hiding or change behavior when he got home, he even seems has more energy to walk around at home. I'm very happy about this experience. Also the store sells good quality cat food and lots of toys that I usually need to buy online. read more

Cat Connection - My cat is very relaxing after grooming. - Pet Sitting Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This was my first time having our 6 year old medium/long-haired cat professionally groomed (i know, I know). From the beginning, everyone was pleasant on the phone and answered all of my questions and lived by the old rule of thumb: under promise, over deliver. They did just that. Cats are cats and I'm not sure Penelope is pumped up to go back (but she will), but the groomers were very honest with what she didn't like. She's rather vocal so she'll let you know, but she isn't aggressive in the least. I took in a little rag-a-muffin and got back a svelte beauty. She's currently laid out letting her canine and feline siblings admire her, and not hiding, so I don't think it was traumatic for her at all. She's our little beauty queen. Please note: I personally find it nice to tip but this isn't an option when paying with a card (I didn't know that), so if you're comfortable tipping, bring cash for your groomer. read more

I have been going to Cat Connection for about a year. They have the best staff and doing a excellent job each and every time. I have a senior (rescue) cat that is unable to clean himself, so we go to the Cat Connection every 3-4 months for a haircut. I am so glad they were recommended because I can't think of bringing Leo to any other groomer. Cat Connection is the BEST!!! read more

These amazing people saved my cats life! My 16 year old orange Tabby Chubby Chubby was no longer able to keep up with his grooming nor was I due to his Kidney failure. His fur was matted up all over his body and I couldn't see him living that way much longer. I had thought about having him shaved but wasn't sure anyone would be willing to do that kind of work. I also didn't expect my cat could live through the stress of traveling to a groomer and the shaving itself. I had to take the chance and try to find help. This popped up on yelp and they answered the phone immediately. They were great on the phone and didn't promise they could work on my cat if he was too thin but that they would try. When I dropped off Chubs I was extremely emotional but they were very professional and I did not feel judged for the poor condition my cat was in. I left him there with the expectation that I would get a quick phone call telling me they couldn't do it but to my surprise they called 4 hours later and said he was ready. I picked him up and couldn't believe my eyes. He was unlike anything I had ever seen! And baby lion! He was Beautiful! I wish I had done it sooner! I don't know how they pulled it off but everything was neatly shaved except his head and feet and the tip If his tail! It was worth every penny. He is aim much more affectionate and fun the pet! I feel he has a greater quality of life and can't thank them enough. The store itself is very nice and has cool gifts and toys. Thank you Cat Connection! read more

Cat Connection - This is a month after he had his shave, I love it! - Pet Sitting Near Me - Dallas, Texas

WASTE OF TIME. Don't even waste getting on the toll way to come here. My cat has been fully shaved at least 10 times in various cat salons throughout Mississippi and Florida (without medication; with and without me present). I brought her here twice and they said they couldn't do it because she was too mean. After the first visit, I was irritated but gave them the benefit of the doubt. After the second visit and after I had made a special visit to the vet for medication per their request (because, remember, she hasn't needed medication at other salons), I was very irritated that they couldn't deliver the cut. I take my cat to the vet and they always give her an excellent report card. In addition, your customers are CATS. Cats aren't the nicest animals ever. Even if she was mean, learn how to handle a hiss, swipe, scratch or two. That's your job. Overall, cute interior but amateurs working here. PLEASE someone start another cat grooming business in DFW. read more

Highly recommend, my cats have never been boarded and when I picked them up they were so calm and I know they were taken care of!

This place is just so NEAT!!!!!. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND cat lovers visit this amazing store!! 5 STARS and 9 Lives Customer service: The staff is super KNOWLEDGEABLE and NICE. They'll remember you, and your cat(s). The store manager, Christie, is my official Cat Sensei. Her wisdom and advice have saved my cats life TWICE and my sanity more than once. Products/Services: High quality and Specialty items Freshly minced catnip and toys your cat will actually play with, as well as an impressive (but not overwhelming) selection of foods and treats, including selections for the raw food dieters. (I'm not there just yet) The shop is immaculately kept and products are displayed thoughtfully, which helps create a relaxed/at-home-vibe. The boarding and grooming areas are super clean and DO NOT smell "kitty" or "groomy" (Seriously, that's impressive, and we all know it) PRICING: Spot on LOCATION: Super easy location across from the Galleria on Inwood Rd, next to Tuesday Morning. The Cat Connection is the cats meow! Trust he, you'll love it! -Bobby V read more

I have to say I really thought this place was awesome when i had Jazzy Boy stay there previously for Thanks Giving in 2009. I was happily given status calls on his progress and felt that they actually cared about the animals there. This time around 12/22 - 12/29/10 It started with my initial call to get status on his stay there had he been eating, playing, a good boy etc.... I never received a call back I called 2x. Upon returning I spoke with Jay the owner who i have no respect for at this point. Jazzy boy came home with a very deep cut and missing hair as he must have been rubbing on something in his cage. Had they called and advised me of this I tell you honesty is the best policy and I would have not minded and understood if they had been forth wright and notified me of his injury. However when confronted with the situation i was told nothing was noticed even though an inch of missing hair and the cut that was still bleeding - a dead give away to negligence on their part. I understand that they can not control if a pet hurts themselves but the manner how this was handled is unacceptable.... read more

DO NOT take your cat to Cat Connection. I have never written a review but am compelled. My cat was not fed for days even though I called each day and checked on her and left food and extra topping for the food and spoke to the cat tech and owner on separate days neither of them followed the instruction given, as I noticed all packets I brought were unopened. I was told they will not call the cat owner if the cat has not eaten unless its after 48 hours. However... again, I spoke to them and they still didn't take the steps I asked and I only found out my cat hadn't eaten upon picking her up and she had lost weight. Also, I noticed when I arrived the front desk worker was not friendly, now Irealize this place is just not up to par. This was not my first boarding experience but definitely my last at Cat Connection. DO NOT leave your cat here! read more

I've had two good experiences getting my cat groomed here -- the end result was fantastic. On the other hand, I had a particularly negative experience with a cashier recently. While dropping off my cat, I made sure to update our contact number from my wife's (who was on vacation) to my own. As the day progressed, I received no call from Cat Connection. I received a message from my wife around 4:45 PM that our cat was ready. Confused, I left immediately. A few minutes later, right as I am in the parking lot in front of Cat Connection, I received a call in a very accusatory and sardonic tone of voice claiming "all kinds of numbers had been called" and "if I don't get there immediately I'm going to have to pay for boarding." Frustrated, I open my call log to reveal not a single call during the day. When I walked in the store, no one was at the front . A few minutes later, a woman rushes into the room, makes no eye contact, and is muttering under her breath that "she will be with you shortly." After storming out, I waited with my arms crossed for a few minutes. That woman stormed back in, still muttering, and left again. Eventually, the boarder came in from the other room and was very sweet, and took care of the situation promptly. I left a gratuity for the groomer and requested a card to call the manager back. Today, I left a message and received a prompt response from Erin. Right off the bat, she opened by calling my arrival the previous day a "performance," setting an awkward tone for the rest of the conversation. After discussing the events, she doubled down on the cashier's behavior and repeated again that "it was all on video" (great, and?) This really left a bad taste in my mouth, so my wife and I will be utilizing the services of other groomers in the future. (Later on, my wife indicated she had received a call at 2:45 PM, so another call had indeed been made. On the other hand, "Erin" confirmed that my wife's number had been crossed out in the registration paper that was done in the morning.) read more

After the terrible mishap we had, apparently they've changed over staff and the experience couldn't be more pleasant. They contacted our vet to get the paperwork for our new kitten and gave them rainbow soft paws for pride.

This is the only place I've seen that does only cat hotel boarding, which is great because all of the staff are experts in cat care. Everyone who I've met there has a lot of experience with caring, feeding, grooming and understanding cats. I got my cat here during the April Dallas Cat Cafe, which is an event they hold once a month to build awareness to different groups that have cats for adoption. The events are nice because not only do they offer time to get to know the cats before adopting them, but also the staff provides free pastries, coffee, tea and other refreshments (hence the 'cafe'). My cat is a sweetheart and I definitely would trust only the staff here to take care of her while I'm away on vacation. The store also offers a wide variety of foods, treats, toys and other supplies that you won't be able to find at normal pets stores. I come here to get Weruva wet food for my cat. My cat also loves the rabbit fur toys they sell here. If you're a cat lover, have furbabies or are thinking about adopting, come here for the Cat Cafe. Definitely take advantage of the range of cat supplies they have here too! read more
