Purr Erze

I don’t know if I ever gave a review on Unilocal but I have used Purr Erze in the past for my non-​perian cat (just a normal domestic short hair!). She was so loving and easy to work with. I had just been through parting ways with a rough service I also found on Unilocal and was hopeful of someone very easy to work with. She required very little from us and we dropped my cat off and he was so happy to be there. He has shown signs of being upset in the past when I’ve left him with others but he seemed so at peace here. She had 2 of her own cats there and they were so friendly to strangers. She made going away so easy for us! We are very grateful!!! (she even cut my cat’s nails!)

I’m smh! Cause she isn’t telling the truth. I speak English and understood her entirely but was trying to see how her website came up. She lost her patience and got rude for no reason.
I’m not gonna call her names as she did to me by calling me «a special person» but she obviously didn’t expect me to give her a bad review about her rude and very grumpy behavior. And yes it was early but within business hours so she can stop lying about that too. I called her around 9:15 or so give or take a minute. I did talk about the cats I was looking for BECAUSE I was hoping she might know a breeder since she worked in the field of boarding people’s pets. She could have just said no but instead got rude. She made it sound like I just kept ranting on about a cat but I was just trying to see if she could recommend anyone. I don’t know why she was so grumpy but instead of just responding to this post you might think she would have just apologized for being rude and not try to downplay or lie about what really happened. After all she did admit to losing her patience and being rude she just never rose above it and apologized.

Q-​tip, a flame point Himalayan, came into our lives almost 17 years ago. The cutest kitten, with soft red points and a snowy white body and a slightly bolder colored tail — hence his name. Deb brought him into this world, along with his brothers and sisters, and he picked us to share his life. A superb, loyal, friendly fellow he became a great companion living between our home in San Rafael and our apartment in Pasadena. He took well to another cat Deb bred that joined the family when Q was 6 years old. Wonderful characters both of them. No longer breeding cats, Deb takes excellent care of their beauty needs and they board with her while we’re out of town. A loving, trusted home away from home!

Our elderly cat, Herman, recently suffered a cardiac setback that has left him frail and much less active than before. When we have to travel, he can no longer be left at home alone to be looked in on and and fed by a cat caregiver only once a day.
We are committed to a cruise in March 2016, and so must find full-​time care. Our vet’s tech recommended Purr Erze, and we decided to leave town for a week and have a try out to see how boarding would work, and to acclimatize him for our longer trip in March. We boarded Herman at Purr Erze, and it worked out extremely well. Debra and Jamie are very sensitive and caring, and very tuned into and attentive to an elderly cat’s needs. We received daily text reports on his physical condition and his acceptance of his new surroundings.
The facilities are immaculate, and not at all «institutional», but homey and cozy. The environment is cage-​free with «guests» kept in a cat room equipped with feline-​friendly furnishings. Herman received exceptional attention, and we, frequent reassurances of his well-​being.
We will go on our cruise in March, and on other trips with peace-​of-​mind, knowing that old Herman is in the capable hands of cat loving, cat savy, sensitive people.

I got my Himalayan from Purr Erze almost 8 years ago. She’s the most gorgeous and loving kitty ever!

great cat breeder we got 2 wonderful cats from her

Our cat had never been boarded anywhere before, and we were going to be away for over two weeks. Deb accommodated her idiosyncrasies (e.g., poor social skills with other cats), groomed her, emailed photos to us, and altogether took lovely care of her.

Finding Deb to groom our Mimi Snowshoe Birman is a great joy and relief! I hadn’t taken Mimi for proper grooming for some time so she really needed a pros work… and she got much more care than I every thought possible for cat grooming.
Deb is extremely knowledgeable about cats so the full treatment included teeth scaling, anal gland expression (which I just learned about as necessary for a cat’s health), a rear shave, nail trim, a bath and a very professional attractive trim and brush out. I can’t imagine going to anyone else for Mimi’s care. The cost was very reasonable for all that was done. Don’t miss the opportunity to have your cat get the very best care. Just call friendly Deb! jane

Deb is awesome! We recently boarded our 1 year old cat Blue with Deb and had a great experience. In addition to taking great care of Blue, Deb’s knowledge of cats was super helpful in recommending alternative foods for Blue. Plus, she and her family are really nice.
I highly recommend boarding your cat with Deb and Purr Erze.

The across-​the-​board, five-​star ratings pretty much say it all: Deb is the absolute best. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she’s just a really great person and extremely knowledgeable about all things feline. After I brought my little sidekick, Henry, home after his first appointment with Deb, he was running around, playing and extremely happy. Basically, he told me he loved the experience. He’s not a Persian but after reading the glowing reviews, I figured she’d be the one to tame his wild, long hair, and I was correct. I just wish she were a vet because I’d take him to her in a heartbeat. I swear she’s a cat whisperer. If you can go to Deb’s house without wanting to take one of her five incredibly affectionate Persians back home with you, you’re stronger than I am. Again… the best.

Deb always does a wonderful job with the grooming of our Persian. She is literally the best cat groomer out there, especially for long hairs. She is wonderful, and our kitty always comes home happy and beautiful! (And he usually goes in quite dirty, matted, and not thrilled about going to be groomed…) She is an all around expert on Persian cats, too, and has given us some great advice each time we see her. Thanks Deb!

We only had our kitten Maddie for 3 weeks when we had to go out of town for two weeks. So we researched boarding options. After numerous home and business inspections, we decided to board Maddie with Debra at Purr Erze. Since we had not had much time bonding with our kitten, we were nervous that we would have to start all over again when we got home. However, MUCH to our surprise, our kitten came back home a totally different cat– and ALL for the better! Our kitten had spent alot of time hiding under furniture for the first three weeks we had her. However, after two weeks with Deb and her cats, Maddie came home completely socialized and better adjusted than when we dropped her off to Deb! She no longer hides under furniture. Instead, she is out and about spending time with us. What a pleasant surprise! We HIGHLY recommend Deb and Purr Erze!

I just took my father’s cat to Debra today and she is wonderful. My father wanted his cat to have a lion cut because she has long hair and it gets matted and its hard for him to groom her. Deb took her right in like they had been friends forever and she came out looking grand! She did her teeth too! I did not realize that she did boarding too and after seeing her place and her cats I would recommend her. If you love your cat this is the place to go. For the ultimate gift have her take photos of your beloved its priceless!!!

We just had Deb lion cut our Siberian cat for summer. He is a LARGE boy and unwieldy to say the least. She did a fantastic job. I can’t recommend her enough! In addition, she is very knowledgable and has really great cats of her own. I really want to steal that little Chai! We’ll be back to see her again! Thanks Deb!

I would highly recommend Deb to anyone looking for a good groomer/​boarder. Deb has been grooming our cats for 10 years, and she does a phenomenal job. It’s very hard to trust somebody else to groom your pet, but we have complete faith in Deb. The grooming is very thorough, and we know Deb is very gentle and genuinely cares about the cats she grooms. We will never go to anyone else. Deb also cleans their teeth which is great, and she has always been a good resource whenever I’ve had questions about cats.
I really dont think you can find anybody else who will do such a good job — you will be amazed at how good your cat looks after she’s through.

Purr Erze is the finest grooming facility for cats and I would not trust my Persian or my Hemi with anyone else. They come home looking handsome and beautiful and totally mellow! In addition, Deb is so knowledgable about cats that she is a wonderful resource whenever I have a question. I have been taking my cats here for over five years and they come home beautiful, mellow and preening with pride!
I wish there were more stars to give Deb’s business because she deserves the best

Deb is «The Cat Whisperer» — I’ve purchased two of her little beauties and they both see Deb regularly for «Spa Treatments.» Deb is kind and nurturing, she has an enormous amount of knowledge of Persians. I would not take Grace or Speedy to anyone else! Plus, she puts up with my husband’s grooming demands…“Tennis Ball Head” and «Princess Paws» :) (Long story). She’s truly amazing!

Absolutely excellent quality grooming and boarding. This lady loves cats and she takes great pride in caring for them. She is a retired Cat Breeder. We bought a Chocolate Persian from her 4 years ago, and we still keep in touch. She takes her profession seriously and is very personable. My other Persian is a white ball of fur and if I need a grooming, or a lion cut, or just a shampoo, I go to Debra. She can do it all. It’s so nice to know she lives in our community and we can bring our cats to her. I highly recommend.

One hell of a woman! She managed to wrangle my cat and clean her up! My kitty is one heck of a fight. Though I don’t have a persian, I have a cat with hair growing every which way. In no time flat she washed, clipped, brushed and loved my little love-​bug. I was there to witness it all, and she was extremely gentle yet firm. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs their kitty for a good grooming or home for the holidays! She does the work out of her own home, so they are always just seconds away– not in some cage in some business park. Thank you Deb!

Yes-ur-ree…Purr Erze Cat Grooming & Boarding is as good as it gets for either cat grooming and/​or boarding. We’ve been taking our cat, Sinbad, there for several years. Debra Erze’s experience with cats is based on 25 years as a cat breeder (now retired). She does a brilliant job grooming Sinbad and also provides excellent suggestions for ongoing care (between grooming visits). Further, her grooming technique is professional and she really knows how to get our cat in shape.
One of the best advantages is that she also provides boarding service when we need to be away from the house for several days, even up to as long as a month (our longest trip so far)…it gives us total peace-​of-​mind when we travel. We feet so comfortable having Sinbad stay at Debra’s home and receiving all the TLC.
