Catsociate Responsibilities:
CAT CARE. Casual Catsocaites are responsible for a variety of cat-related responsibilities from monitoring cat health, scooping litter boxes, feeding cats, introducing new cats to the lounge, socializing new cats, cleaning up accidents, administering medicine, clipping nails, and resolving any other cat behavioral or health issues as they arise. When it comes to caring for our cats, we are ideally looking for people who have previous experience working with cats.
CUSTOMER SERVICE. One of the most important parts of this role is to ensure every customer has an amazing visit. Our business would not be possible if it was not for our customers. You are responsible for keeping the store fun, lively, and energetic by engaging with customers about the cats, the business, and everything in between! You will work as part of a team or by yourself to deliver an outstanding experience and consistently provide a friendly, welcoming, and super fun atmosphere.
CLEANING. Keeping the cafe organized, clean, and smelling great is one of our top priorities. We understand it is a cat business, but we do not want to hear our customers say it smells like ‘cat’ when they walk in. You are responsible for always keeping the store “first hour clean" by wiping down tables, throwing away trash, sanitizing litter boxes, sweeping floors, and mopping when necessary. Store presentation and condition is incredibly important, and we want to make sure the cafe is always clean, well put together, and smells amazing. Cleaning (and deep cleaning litter boxes!) is a *huge* part of the job, so if you don't like cleaning, this is probably not the best fit for you.
CAFE/RETAIL SERVICE. In addition to working in the cat lounge, all Catsociates are responsible for maintaining the up-keep and cleanliness of our cafe and retail section. Working in the cafe includes keeping the coffee bar stocked and clean, stocking the cold drinks in the fridge, engaging with customers, keeping the retail section full and neat, and maintaining the bathroom.
BOARDING. In addition to providing an environment where people can spend time with the rescue cats, we also provide cat boarding. You will be responsible for providing the most spectacular care of our boarder’s feline companions and treating them like they were your own. Boarding care includes maintaining the cleanliness and tidiness of boarder kennels, sending postcard updates to their parents, giving quality cat cuddles, and more.
MARKETING AND PROMOTION. On occasion we make our own merchandise and merchandise packaging. We also have a very limited online store and try to schedule a few events a month. Catsociates currently help out in these areas but we are looking for someone who is passionate about really helping us spread our brand and earn more customers so that we can continue to help as many homeless cats as we can.
