- Grooming as intake prep for photography, assessment, or behavioral review
Common Rescue Applications

- Older cats with years of grooming avoidance and shutdown behavior
- Previously feral or undersocialized cats transitioning to adoption readiness
- Special-needs cats with orthopedic, neurological, or anxiety-driven limits
