Jo is joined by Sophie James (The Kitty Cat Club) and Francesca de Bernart for a fascinating chat about cat-only grooming, community support, and the surprising value of saved cat hair. Sophie shares her 20-year journey through the grooming industry, her shift to a thriving cat-only salon, and the success of her Cat Groomer Map, helping owners find trusted groomers nationwide.
Francesca explains how groomers can earn money by collecting unwashed cat hair, which is used to create a drug designed to help people with severe cat allergies. Together, the trio explore industry growth, mental health realities, collaboration over competition, and how a simple salon system can turn cat hair into both income and impact.
A warm and insightful episode for cat groomers, students, and anyone curious about the future of feline care.
