What is it and How I am Certified?
As of October 12, 2022 I have gone through and completed the classes and expectations and I am very happy to announce that I have earned my certification as a Master Cat Groomer. Through the National Cat Groomers Institution and a rigorous exam process, I have gained the knowledge and experience needed to earn this certificate. So what exactly is a Master Cat Groomer and what was the process that led me here? I have been a cat groomer for almost seven years, so why go through the process of getting Nationally certified?
What is a master cat groomer
A Master Cat Groomer is a cat groomer that has undergone many physical and written exams that go well beyond just grooming cats regularly. This means that we are more knowledgeable in your cats health, background and haircuts so that we can provide the best possible care and service on their spa days that fit your specific feline friend and their needs.
What i did to earn this certificate
This was not an easy process, and it’s not meant to be! The numbers on my certificate show that I am the 11th person in Arizona to be certified, the 246th in the country, and 383rd worldwide, which means that there are not many people that hold this valuable title! I had to learn all 50 breeds of cats along with their coat types, personality traits, where they originated from and when, and how to properly groom each specific breed. I took exams on running a successful cat business, temperament styles and how to handle them, and a very lengthy exam on all of the health problems that can arise along with how to spot them and handle them properly! On top of those four written exams, I had to do five physical exams. I drove out to Yuma, Arizona and groomed about 12 cats to show that I knew how to do each specific haircut properly, bathe properly, apply nail caps properly, and more! This process took me several months and I am extremely proud of my Master Cat Groomer title and that I am much more knowledgeable in how to give the upmost care to your furry friends.
