Support Our Rescue – Shop At This N That Consignment!!support our rescue

You probably already know that Claws N Paws Day Spa offers pet grooming services in Orange County, CA. What you might not realize is that we also offer rescued cats and kittens for adoption. These felines come from a variety of different places. Some are given to us by their owners when they are unable to care for them anymore. Many others were found as newborns. We bottle-feed and socialize these babies until they are ready to find homes.

Cat and Kitten Rescue is Expensive

It’s expensive for us to rescue and care for abandoned animals. Cats require food, litter and medical care. Newborn kittens require formula as well. Kitten formula costs just as much, if not more, than human baby formula. While we do receive donations occasionally, most of the costs are paid for from our own pockets. With proper support, we can care for more animals.

Support Our Rescue

One of the easiest ways to support our rescue is by shopping at This N That Consignment Shop for your pet supplies. This N That is located just two doors down from our grooming salon. They offer brand new pet supplies such as carriers, collars, leashes, toys and more.

When you purchase pet supplies from This N That Consignment, 100% of the profits are given to our rescue. As an added bonus, This N That is offering 20% off your purchase of $20 or more during the month of June! There’s never been a better time to shop.

Of course, there are other ways you can support our rescue. Consider donating used blankets or towels. We also accept cat and kitten food, litter and toys. If you would prefer, we take cash donations as well. Anything you can offer us will help! When you donate towards our rescue you can rest assured that all donations go directly to our rescued cats and kittens.

When shopping for pet supplies this summer, consider checking This N That Consignment Shop first. You’ll love the fun and friendly atmosphere of the shop. You might also find something you can’t live without!

Visit Claws N Paws Day Spa to see our rescued cats and kittens. Please call 714-962-1005 for more information.

Orange County Pet Groomer’s Top Picks For Holiday Gifts

Orange County Pet Groomer’s Top Picks For Holiday Gifts

We love our pets. They provide us with hours of entertainment and an unlimited supply of unconditional love. If you are like most pet parents in the U.S. then you are probably planning on getting your pet a gift this holiday season. Claws N Paws Day Spa, your Orange County pet groomer, offers our top picks for holiday gifts for your pets:

A New Pet Bed

Just like the rest of the family, your pet needs a space where they can feel safe and relaxed. A pet bed provides a cushion from the cold, hard floor as well as support for your pet’s bones and joints. An added bonus for pet parents is that a pet bed keeps pets off furniture, keeping dander and pet hair confined to just one spot. When choosing a bed for your companion, look for one that is washable and large enough to accommodate your pet when they are fully stretched out.

A New Collar and/or Leash

A new collar or leash is like new clothes for your pet. When choosing a collar you will need to measure around your pets neck to ensure the proper fit. Don’t forget to add a new pet tag with your current information on it! For safety reasons, only purchase collars that are meant for your specific type of pet. When choosing a leash you will need to consider how your pet behaves on walks, and how far away from you you’d like them to be able to travel. For example, if your pet is aggressive towards other pets then you will want to get a shorter leash so that you are able to keep them close when necessary.

New Toys

Every pet has their own favorite toy. Some love to carry around and cuddle with stuffed animals, while others enjoy playing tug of war with their human companions. The holiday season is the best time to replace old toys or add to your pet’s toy collection!

Shop Smart!

Before spending all of your holiday money on your beloved pet, consider visiting This N That Consignment Shop first. In addition to offering a variety of pet supplies for both dogs and cats, every pet supply purchase directly supports Claws N Paws’ rescue efforts. This N That Consignment is located just two doors down from Claws N Paws Day Spa.

Claws N Paws Day Spa offers professional pet grooming services in Fountain Valley, CA. We also offer mobile pet grooming to many areas of Orange County. Please call 714-962-1005 to schedule your pet’s grooming appointment!

Items to Sell – And Not to Sell – At a Consignment Shop

Items to Sell – And Not to Sell – At a Consignment Shop

One easy way to make a little extra money is to sell your gently used items through a consignment store. Selling through consignment is much safer than selling through classified ads or through websites like Craigslist. With consignment you do not need to provide your email address and strangers never need to visit to your home. Additionally, the consignment shop handles all of the marketing for you.

Before you begin gathering your items to take to your local consignment shop, it’s important to know what items sell, and which ones do not.

~Best sellers

Upholstered items
Such as sofas, sectionals, sleeper sofas and comfortable chairs

Leather furniture
Such as leather sofas and chairs

Wooden furniture
Such as wooden dressers and bookshelves

Dining sets
Dining tables and chairs, especially contemporary ones, typically sell very well

Buffet tables

Mid-century modern furniture

Inexpensive, un-framed modern art
Such as large modern pieces on canvas

Contemporary lamps
Such as newer lamp styles with shades in good condition

Unique items
Including vintage pieces and garden tables

Accessories
The more interesting, the better

~Items that do not sell well

TV armoires

Rugs

Brass items

Figurines

China

If you want to guarantee that your items sell quickly, and for top dollar they must be cleaned well before you take them to a consignment shop. This step alone can boost an item’s price by as much as 25%. It’s also important to repair any broken hardware and touch up any scratches or dings. In order for the shop to set a fair price for your items you will want to gather as much information about them as you can. Helpful information includes when it was made and whether it is an original piece or a replica.

Claws N Paws Day Spa has been taking care of Orange County’s dogs and cats since 2001. We offer full service pet grooming at our state of the art pet salon in Fountain Valley, California.

Beginners Guide to Consignment

By

This N That Consignment Supports Claws N Paws!

Beginners Guide to Consignment

Not all second hand shops are created equal. In fact, there are four different types:

  • Consignment
  • Pawn
  • Classified
  • Thrift

The main differences between these types of stores come down to when you relinquish ownership of your physical possessions, when you are paid and whether or not someone helps you sell your items. Today let’s take a closer look at consignment.

Simply put, consignment is when a shop sells goods for an owner. The owner of the items keeps ownership of the goods until they sell. Once sold, the owner pays a small fee to the consignment shop in return for selling their items.

Consignment shops are locally owned businesses. The shop owner sets their own terms for how their consignments work. Typically, the items for sale will have an identification code on the tag to identify which account will get credit for the sale.

When you decide to sell your gently used items through a consignment shop you drop them off for either a thirty, sixty or ninety day cycle. If your items do not sell during the allotted time period, then the shop will either discount the items or ask you to pick them up.

There usually isn’t a lot of inventory in a consignment shop, meaning that the items being sold don’t have much competition. This makes consignment an excellent choice if you have high quality goods to sell. However, you should keep in mind that consignment shops only accept items that are in excellent condition.

Consignment shops offer a wide variety of high quality items for sale. They have a high turnover rate and there is always something new to see every time you visit.

Why Everyone Can Benefit from Consignment Shopping

Why Everyone Can Benefit from Consignment Shopping

Shopping consignment offers many unique benefits. Consignment shopping makes it possible to own quality, name brand items for a fraction of the cost. Let’s take a closer look at why everyone can benefit from consignment shopping.

Saves you money

While it would be wonderful to only purchase name brand items, most of us cannot afford to live like that. However, when you shop consignment you can purchase these items at greatly reduced prices, helping you stay within your shopping budget.

Eco-friendly

Whenever you shop second hand you are helping the environment. The items that you purchase from a consignment shop would have otherwise ended up in our landfill.

Better value

Because the items in a consignment shop are significantly reduced you are able to purchase much more for your money.

Better selection

One benefit of shopping in a consignment store is that you are surrounded by a multitude of different things in one location. This saves you the hassle of having to visit several stores to find what you need.

Helps you create your own style

At a traditional department store or boutique you are limited to what’s popular at the time. At a consignment shop you have literally years of styles to choose from. This allows you to create a look that is purely your own.

New merchandise added frequently

Since people bring in consignment items regularly there is always something new each time you shop.

Great customer service

Typically the owners of consignment shops are friendly and eager to help. They understand their merchandise and go above and beyond to make sure that you find exactly what you want.

Top Ten Reasons to Shop Second Hand

There are many reasons to shop second hand. Let’s take a closer look at the top ten!

  1. Recycling
    Recycling is good for the environment. When you shop consignment you are recycling someone’s gently used goods. When you sell your gently used goods to a consignment shop you are helping keep those items out of our already too full landfills.
  2. Selection
    The variety of items that you can find at a consignment shop far exceeds that of a traditional retail store.

    Because of the unique selection at a consignment shop, you are able to create a look that fits your own unique style and personality.

    Consignment shops are typically located near residential areas.
  5. Individualized Service
    Most consignment shops are locally owned. They provide a warm, inviting atmosphere. If you are looking for something in particular you can usually find someone who is ready and willing to help you. You would be hard pressed to find this type of service at a large retail shop.
  6. Value
    Shopping in a consignment shop provides you with a much better price-to-product ratio.
  7. Lower Prices
    Most consignment shops offer quality merchandise at lower prices than other retail shops. Many consignment shops also have many items on sale.
