Can Petco groomers help my large cat with severe matted fur?

Question

We have a 10 yr old BIG cat (23 lbs) who is in need of major grooming. He has thick clumps all over his back. Because of his size, he can't reach them. It's a big job, but the cat is very gentle. Is this a possibility for one of your cat groomers? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 23 lbs

Removing those clumps will be stressful for your kitty. The best would be to make an appointment with your vet for a shave under sedation. There could be sores underneath the mats which should be taken care of as well. Once the mats are gone I suggest you regularly brush and later comb Star to help with his grooming and clumps and mats will not reoccur.
