🐾 Now Hiring: Cattery Attendant
(Part-Time)
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.
📍 Cat Naps Cattery – Hamilton, NJ
📅 Sundays & Mondays, 10 AM – 6 PM
💵 $15/hour
✨ Additional days may be offered after a successful trial period
What You’ll Do:
🥣 Follow individualized feeding and handling instructions using our booking program
🧼 Maintain a high standard of cleanliness in cat rooms, play and general areas throughout the day (lots of litter boxes to scoop!)
🧺 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
Must-Haves:
✅ Experience working with animals (vet clinic, rescue, barn, shelter—not just personal pets)
✅ Physically able to lift 30 lbs 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:
✨ Naturally tidy and find satisfaction in following detailed routines
✨ Curious about cat behavior and interested in learning more about feline care
✨ Quiet, respectful, and understand how to read the room—especially when the room has a shy cat in it
This is a great opportunity for vet tech students, animal care professionals, or cat lovers who are serious about doing things the right way. At Cat Naps, we believe in providing a calm, cat-centered experience that prioritizes safety, respect, and thoughtful care.

Patient & Observant – Nervous cats (and clients) require a calm and understanding presence
Experienced with Animals – Whether you’ve worked in a vet clinic, volunteered at a rescue, or handled horses at a barn, you understand animal behavior beyond personal pets
A Clear Communicator – Comfortable talking on the phone, answering questions, and providing excellent customer service
Physically Capable – Able to lift up to 30 lbs (not all kitties are petite!)
