Cat Boarding Attendant / Animal Care Assistant

Northern Districts Cattery | Mariginiup, WA
35-40+ 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.

As one of Perth's most respected feline boarding facilities, we have built our reputation on exceptional standards of care, genuine compassion, and personalised service. We are seeking a reliable, mature team member who takes pride in their work, enjoys working with animals, and is looking for a stable, long-term position and the opportunity to become a valued part of a close-knit team.

If you love cats, enjoy keeping things organised, and thrive in a structured environment where your work truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.
