Cat Boarding Attendant / Animal Care Assistant
Northern Districts Cattery | Mariginiup, WA
*****+ Hours Per Week
Every cat that comes through our doors has a different story.
Some arrive confident and curious.
Others need patience, reassurance, and a gentle hand to help them settle in.
For their owners, leaving a beloved family member behind can be stressful, which is why the care we provide matters so much.
At Northern Districts Cattery, we believe great animal care is about more than feeding and cleaning.
It is about noticing the small things, providing comfort, and helping every cat feel safe, relaxed, and cared for.
