Hi all. Im trying to seek care for my mother's severely matted cat. The mats are all over his body. My mother is insisting we can shave him at home with cheap clippers. I feel that is a terrible idea and will break the cats trust and potential hurt him. The issue is neither of us can afford a vet visit or a groomer. Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap solution? I am not personally familiar with any local groomers. I have talked to West Michigan St vet and the required exam and cost of sedation is out of our budget. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
