Is It Time for a Trim?

Are kitty’s nails a little too long and catching on their blanket, their bed … or your skin? We have two nail trim events each month to help tame those “murder mittens.”

Every 2nd Sunday of the month is our drive-up nail trim event, held at the shelter. (These drive-up nail trim events are for previous PCR adopters ONLY.)

Every 4th Sunday of the month is our nail trim event, held at Thomas’ Tails in Crystal Lake. All animals are welcome—cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. (These nail trim events are open to the public.)

How It Works
Drive up by the front shelter door. We will come out to your car and bring your kitty inside. (EACH KITTY MUST BE IN A SEPARATE CARRIER.) We will trim kitty’s nails inside, then return kitty to you at your car.
