Whisker Park Open House July - 13 9am-6pm

We are so excited to host a day of activities and engage with the community. As central Florida's first feline exclusive salon, there might be a lot of question about cat grooming.

The First Feline Exclusive Salon, Boarding and Boutique in Central Florida Invites

Internet Famous Cat Friendly Noodles to Host Open House and Shop Cat Solomon’s 20th Birthday Celebration Saturday, July 13

 

Winter Park, Fl. (June 14, 2024) — Whisker Park is quickly becoming the cat’s meow for the fancy felines in the Orlando area. After opening in 2022 as the first feline only grooming salon in central Florida, they are continuing to add more services for the cat fancier. The feline exclusive establishment has now added cat only boarding which is another first in the community. On Saturday, July 13 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Internet sensation Friendly Noodles will meet and greet fans in the new Cat-tivity boarding center of Whisker Park. The salon will then be open from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. where the community will be invited to tour the salon and see demonstrations of cat grooming. The store is located at 5542 Lake Howell Rd in Winter Park.

 

With his silly antics and marble eyes, Friendly Noodles has won over a million fans and followers on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok. This is the first ever event for this cat turned celebrity. Noodle couldn’t do this all alone. He is the pet and muse of local artist Rebecca Salinas. Millions of fans find the time lapse videos of her painting Noodle just as fascinating as her furry friend. Tickets for the meet and greet can be purchased on Eventbrite for $5 and $10 for VIP with a Noodle Swag bag and photo print.

 

Whisker Park is quickly becoming a local destination for cat owners and enthusiasts. The boutique is filled with cat themed games, puzzles books and other unique cat themed gifts for the cat lover. It also stocks high end cat furniture, feeders, waterers, food and the latest in cat enrichment items. The salon recently was inspected and approved for boarding. They provide options for cats to stay in a luxury Smart Suite or join other cats to pounce and play at Cat-Camp in the Cat-tivity room.

 

Although cats spend a lot of time grooming themselves, Whisker Park’s mission is to help cats with grooming related problems when they arise. Whisker Park provides grooming solutions to common problems such as sharp nails, tangles or matted hair that cannot be combed out by their owners. The shop displays a “pelt” on the wall from a Persian cat that had to be completely shaved due to their entire coat becoming one solid tangle demonstrating that not all cats groom themselves. Whisker Park owner and Certified Feline Master Groomer Beth Sanford is on a mission to educate the public on cat grooming and shares her skills by grooming cats live on TikTok Tuesdays through Thursdays.

 

The open house and activities will start at 4 p.m. and will include salon tours, cat grooming Q&A, retail specials and even some cat grooming demonstrations. In addition, the festivities will also include a cat birthday celebration for TikTok favorite Solomon the Shop Cat who is turning 20 in July. In lieu of gifts, Whisker Park is asking the community to donate to local pet nonprofits in Solomon’s name.
