Best for

Short haired cats, senior cats, or kittens that do better with a quick no-rinse foam than a full water bath.

Skip if

You have a long haired or heavily matted cat that needs a deeper wash and rinse, since this is a light, no-rinse foam.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe if my cat licks it?

Mooncat labels this formula as 100 percent licking safe, since cats often groom themselves right after a wash.

Does it work on long haired cats?

The label's item type and target species focus on short haired cats, seniors, and kittens, so long haired breeds may need a different formula built for thicker coats.

How do I apply it?

Directions call for 1 to 2 pumps of foam applied directly to the coat, gently massaged in, then toweled dry. No rinsing is needed, and you can brush the coat to finish.
