Anne Thompson
Certified Feline Master Groomer, CFMG
NCGI Certifier
From courtroom to cat salon, Anne Thompson's journey is a testament to her passion for feline well-being. After a successful legal career, Anne embarked on a new path in 2009, becoming a professional groomer. She owned and operated a thriving grooming salon in Montreal from 2012 to 2018, catering to both dogs and cats. A life-changing cat bite led Anne to delve deeper into the art of feline grooming, seeking specialized training from the National Cat Groomers Institute (NCGI).
Today, Anne proudly holds the prestigious Certified Feline Master Groomer (CFMG) designation, a distinction shared by only a select group of groomers worldwide. As an NCGI Certifier, she empowers aspiring groomers to achieve the same level of excellence through comprehensive training and testing.
Now residing in sunny Florida, Anne continues her mission to provide exceptional care to cats through her successful mobile grooming business, "I Groom Cats." Her latest venture, The Coastal Cat Resort and Spa, marks a new milestone as the only feline-exclusive boarding and grooming facility in Lee County.
Anne's vision for The Coastal Cat Resort and Spa is to create a sanctuary where cats feel truly at home. Spacious boarding suites, thoughtfully designed with climbing structures, cozy beds, and hiding spots, ensure a comfortable and enriching stay. Expert grooming services, delivered with a gentle touch and deep understanding of feline behavior, cater to both boarding and non-boarding guests.
At The Coastal Cat Resort and Spa, your cat's well-being is our top priority. Our staff is trained in feline body language and handling techniques, ensuring a stress-free experience for every guest. Finally, there's a place just for cats, where they can relax, play, and be pampered in a safe and loving environment.

Locked Door Policy
At The Coastal Cat Resort and Spa, the safety and security of our feline guests is our top priority. To minimize the risk of escape and ensure our staff can devote their uninterrupted attention to your cherished companions, we maintain a strict Locked Door Policy.
- All doors leading outside will always remain locked outside of designated drop-off and pick-up hours.
- Only authorized staff members will have access to keys or entry codes.
We understand that cats can be quick and unpredictable. By keeping doors locked during grooming sessions and outside of drop-off/pick-up times, we create a secure environment where our staff can focus solely on providing your cat with the best possible care, free from the worry of potential escapes.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and stress-free environment for all our feline guests.
