Booking page for cat groomers
Klendr is cat grooming booking software that also runs the back office of a cat salon. Owners book a combing-out, lion cut or claw trim online, and the same calendar keeps quiet gaps between cats, issues VAT invoices, tracks shampoo and blades in stock, stores every cat’s history and shows what the month earned.

A cat salon is not only a diary of appointments. There are receipts for owners and catteries, bottles of shampoo that empty faster in shedding season, notes about which cat bites, and the question at the end of the month of whether lion cuts actually pay. In Klendr all of this sits next to the bookings, with no separate notebook or spreadsheet.
- Accounting and invoices — a PDF invoice with VAT goes to the owner automatically after the visit, with a due date and late fee when a cattery pays on account. Each month you export invoices as CSV and a PDF archive, plus deposits from Stripe, and hand them to your accountant; Klendr prepares the documents, the bookkeeping stays with them. Invoices and deposits
- Inventory management — set a recipe per service, for example 15 ml of degreasing shampoo for a Sphynx bath, and stock drops with every appointment. Sell undercoat brushes and cat shampoo through an invoice and get an email when detangler or blades run low.
- Client records — one card per owner with every visit of their cat, services, amounts, missed appointments and your notes, ready to export.
- Analytics and reports — revenue, material costs, profit and hours worked, busy days and top services, so you see whether spring combing-outs or long lion cuts earn more. Analytics
- Online booking and reminders — the booking page, reminders and deposit described below work inside the same system. Calendar
Why cat grooming booking software suits a calm salon
Cats notice everything: a ringing phone, a dryer in the next room, a stranger’s voice, the smell of the previous animal. A groomer who answers calls with one hand while holding a Persian with the other is a groomer who gets scratched. Online booking moves the questions about prices and free days out of the grooming room.
The owner opens your link, reads what each service includes and picks a time when it suits them, even at midnight. You receive a confirmed booking with the owner’s phone number and the cat’s name. Share the link in Instagram, Facebook cat groups, your Google profile and on a card you hand out at the vet clinic next door.
Longer slots and quiet gaps in the cat grooming calendar
A nervous cat needs time to come out of the carrier, sniff the table and settle. If the schedule is too tight, you start pulling a cat that is not ready, and the whole groom goes wrong. In Klendr you set the duration of each service yourself, so build the calm-down time and the table cleaning right into it: a 60-minute combing-out can be booked as 75.
Owners see only times where the whole visit fits, so cats never overlap and nobody waits with a carrier next to another anxious animal. Add breaks between appointments, keep a long lunch, or open cat-only days with a schedule for specific dates if you also groom dogs during the rest of the week.
Use colours per service in the calendar: a glance at the week shows where the long lion cuts are and where there is still room for a quick claw trim.
Notes on breed, coat and temper for every cat
A Maine Coon with mats behind the ears, a British Shorthair that sheds all spring and a Sphynx that needs a bath and ear cleaning are three different jobs. Split services by coat length, short-haired and long-haired, and offer combing-out, de-matting, lion cut, bath and dry and claw trim as separate items. Owners can put a claw trim and a combing-out into one visit, and the time adds up.
In the client card you keep notes after each visit: breed and coat, which comb or blade worked, where the mats usually form, and character: hides in the carrier, hisses at the dryer, calmer when the owner leaves the room, needed two people last time. Next time the cat’s history is open before the carrier is.
What a cat groomer gets in Klendr
Work from the salon computer or from your phone during a home visit; an Android app is in Google Play.
- Booking page — klendr.me/your-salon with services by coat length, photos of lion cuts and only free times; owners do not need an app or an account. How the booking page works
- Calendar — day, week and month views, breaks, holidays, schedules for exact dates, drag and drop and no double bookings. Calendar features
- Reminders — an email confirmation at once and an email and SMS reminder the day before, so the owner has time to find the carrier. Reminders
- Deposit or no-show fee — one setting for the whole account through Stripe, useful when a long lion cut stands empty. Deposits
- Mailings — an email to all clients or a chosen group when you have free spring dates for shedding season.
When the cat hides under the bed: rescheduling and no-shows
Every cat groomer knows the call: "I can’t get him into the carrier." With Klendr the owner moves the appointment through the link in the confirmation email instead of simply not coming, and the slot opens again for someone else. The reminder the day before gives owners a chance to plan the morning.
For first visits and long cuts you can turn on a deposit, a percentage charged at booking and refunded when the booking is cancelled. If you prefer, choose the no-show fee mode: the card is saved and charged only when the owner does not turn up. Sync with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar keeps your own plans next to the salon bookings.

Questions about cat grooming booking software
Can I leave a gap between two cats?
Yes. Include the calm-down and cleaning time in the service duration or add breaks in your hours. Owners then see only times that keep that gap.
How do owners book a lion cut for a cat?
Create a lion cut service, ideally separate for large breeds, with its own duration and price. The owner picks it on your booking page and chooses a free time.
Where do I note that a cat bites or hates the dryer?
In the client card. Each visit can have notes about breed, coat, mats and behaviour, and you see them as soon as you open the appointment.
What if the owner cannot catch the cat on the day?
The confirmation email has a link to reschedule or cancel, so the owner can move the visit without calling. If a deposit was taken, it is refunded on cancellation.
Can one salon take bookings for cats and dogs?
Yes. Add cat services next to the dog services in separate groups, or open cat-only days with a date schedule. There is also a separate page about dog grooming.
How much does Klendr cost for a cat groomer?
The first 14 days cost nothing and need no card. A groomer working alone then pays €10 a month on Individual or €96 for a year; Individual Plus at €15 a month adds 50 SMS. A salon with several groomers takes the Team plan.
Set up services by coat length and share your link. 14 days free, no card needed.
