Whilst the work of a Cattery Assistant is physically demanding, it also involves a lot of hands-on contact with the animals and this can be extremely rewarding. This career involves having responsibility for the individual needs of the cats in your care. The job could involve some interaction with the public when interviewing prospective owners at a rescue centre or when dealing with cat owners at a boarding cattery, so it is important that you are able to interact well with people and have good customer care skills. A good starting point for careers with cats.

Our online cat courses can help you prepare for this career.
