About us
Meet Sylvia Goncalves
Sylvia’s love, dedication and passion for persian cats led to her founding Persian Cat Rescue Durban in 2010.
Working exclusively full time with persian cats and other similar breeds led to her working with many different coat types, and highlighted the very real, unique challenges that most persian cat owners go through when it comes to grooming their persians.
In response to this need, Persian Cat Grooming Durban, was born. If you need someone you can truly trust - who is highly skilled and has many years of experience, then this would be Sylvia Goncalves.
Why we exist.
Persian Cat Grooming Durban was created as a cat-only, low-stress grooming space—no barking dogs, no rush—just patient, skilled handling, de-matting done kindly, and beautiful maintenance grooms that keep coats knot-free and beautiful.
“We understand your grooming struggles – we are here to help. From my hands to your floof's heart.”
