Full Job Description

Cat Grooming Salon Assistant — With Apprenticeship Opportunity

Awesome Paws Cat Salon is a cats-only grooming facility. We're hiring a Salon Assistant who wants to build a real career working with cats.

Read this part first.

Handling cats in a professional grooming environment is not the same as owning cats. Your cat lets you brush her on the couch. That tells us very little about how you'll do here.

In this salon you will work with cats who are frightened, defensive, matted to the skin, arthritic, elderly, or have never been handled by a stranger in their lives. They will hiss, growl, spin, bite, and try to leave. Reading that behavior correctly — before it escalates — is the job. Loving cats is the baseline, not the qualification.

If you're not comfortable with that reality, this isn't the right fit, and that's okay.

What you'll do

Safely restrain and handle cats during grooming, using proper technique
Read feline body language and communicate what you're seeing to the groomer, immediately
Bathe cats and assist with baths
Dry cats and assist with the drying process
Prep shampoo, tools, and grooming stations
Check clients in and out
Answer phones, schedule appointments, return messages
Handle daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning to keep the salon spotless

What we're looking for

Substantial hands-on cat handling experience — vet tech, vet assistant, shelter, rescue, boarding, or grooming backgrounds are ideal
The ability to stay calm and steady when a cat escalates
Someone who speaks up about a safety concern rather than pushing through it
Physical stamina — this is a standing, lifting, wet, hair-covered job
Reliability, a positive attitude, and genuine willingness to be taught

What we offer

Hourly pay plus tips
Hands-on training with a clear path into a cat grooming apprenticeship
A cats-only environment where groomer safety is non-negotiable — we don't ask staff to take unnecessary risks, and we don't finish what can't be finished safely

If you have real experience with difficult cats and you want to turn that into a profession, we'd love to hear from you.

Job Types: Full-time, Part-time

Pay: From $13.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k) matching
Employee discount
Paid time off

People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply

Work Location: In person
