Are you a devoted cat lover who dreams of working in a space that feels like a sanctuary for cats and their people? We’re looking for a Front Desk Receptionist / Boutique Assistant / General Catch-All person to become the welcoming heart of our truly special cat grooming spa and boutique.
About Us:
Fur Cat’s Sake is unlike any other. We believe cats deserve respect, gentleness, and a calm environment. Every part of our mission is built around creating a peaceful, loving experience for our feline clients — and the people who adore them.
What We're Looking For:
- Excellent phone and in-person communication skills
- Strong attention to detail and follow-through
- Comfort around cats — you’ll be around them every day!
- A proactive, dependable work ethic
- Availability for 3–4 shifts/week, with a clear path to full-time
This Role Is Not a Fit For:
- College students juggling school or seasonal schedules
- Applicants looking for short-term work or “just a job”
- Individuals with other part-time jobs — this position is intended to grow into a full-time role
- Anyone who has applied to this position in the past — we received an overwhelming number of applications previously and, while we couldn’t respond to everyone due to the demands of running a growing business, we are looking for very specific talent. If you didn’t hear from us before, we kindly ask that you do not reapply.
Who You Are:
- A true cat enthusiast — you intuitively understand cats’ unique needs and personalities
- Friendly, patient, and warm with both two-legged and four-legged guests
- Calm under pressure — you help keep things grounded during busy moments
- Highly organized and proactive — you can gracefully juggle front desk, spa, and boutique tasks
- Excited to be part of a mission-driven, tight-knit, cat-loving team
Your Key Responsibilities:
- Greet clients and their cats with warmth, patience, and professionalism
- Manage appointment scheduling, confirmations, check-ins, invoicing, and client communications
- Assist boutique shoppers — recommending cat products and processing purchases
- Keep the spa and boutique tidy, serene, and well-stocked
- Support groomers and fellow team members to ensure smooth daily operations (this may include lifting heavy cats or litter)
Compensation and Growth:
- Starting pay: $24/hour
- Part-time position with clear opportunity for advancement
- Performance-based raises may lead to eligibility for health and retirement benefits
- Long-term potential for leadership roles for the right candidate
Bonus Points If You Have:
- Experience in pet care, grooming, retail, or boutique settings
- Knowledge of feline behavior, wellness, or body language
- Strong customer service and communication skills
- Managerial skills or leadership experience — and you enjoy taking charge and helping a team run smoothly
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
- A peaceful, cat-centered workspace surrounded by fellow feline fans
- A supportive, passionate team that shares your love for animals
- A chance to help people find beautiful, curated items for their cats
- The satisfaction of making a meaningful difference for cats and their humans every day
To Apply:
Please send your resume and a short note introducing yourself. We’d love to hear about your favorite cat (past, present, or dream cat!) and why you’d like to join the Fur Cat’s Sake family.
Kindly note: It may take us 5–7 days to respond to applications. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!
