Job Description
Are you experienced in animal care and passionate about learning more about feline behavior? Do you understand that some cats don’t want attention—and that’s okay? At Cat Naps Cattery, we’re looking for someone who not only loves cats but respects their boundaries, values routine, and takes pride in clean, quiet, and cozy spaces.

Handle daily laundry (towels and bedding for boarding)
-
Provide calm, enriching playtime based on each cat’s comfort level
-
Help take photos and updates for client communications
-
Occasionally assist with check-ins or check-outs
What We’re Looking For:
-
Experience being or working with animals (vet clinic, rescue, barn, shelter—not just personal pets)
-
Physically able to lift 30lbs and go up/down one flight of stairs

Age 18+ with reliable transportation

Observant, patient, and comfortable around a wide range of feline personalities
Bonus Points If You’re:
