Job description

Cattery Attendant

Humane Society for Hamilton County (Fishers, IN)

Pay: $15.00/hour

Help cats feel safe, healthy, and seen—every single day.

At the Humane Society for Hamilton County, caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s a purpose. If you want your work to matter, love being hands‑on, and thrive in a busy environment full of purrs, meows, movement, and mission… this role is for you.

As a Cattery Attendant, you’ll support the Cattery Manager by providing exceptional daily care for the cats in our beautiful, state‑of‑the‑art facility—keeping spaces clean, monitoring health, supporting enrichment, and helping each cat move one step closer to a loving home.

What You’ll Do

Conducting daily walkthroughs, checking each cat for signs of illness or abnormal behavior (vomiting, diarrhea, blood, lethargy, etc.)
Reporting concerns immediately and documenting notes in medical binders as needed
Recognizing urgent situations and alerting supervisors/veterinary staff quickly
Feeding and watering cats according to schedules and protocols
Cleaning and disinfecting cages/runs and maintaining a high standard of sanitation (odor‑free, low‑stress environment)
Cleaning and disinfecting food/water bowls
Managing bedding (removing soiled bedding, transporting to laundry, replacing with clean bedding)
Assisting with medication administration when medical staff needs support
Handling cats safely and confidently, including restraint when necessary
Identifying cats who may need behavior support and communicating needs appropriately
Safely moving cats between carriers and enclosures
Assisting kennel staff with cat tests as needed
Supporting adoption showings with friendly, professional customer service
Maintaining HSHC equipment and completing other duties as assigned

You’re a Great Fit If You…

Embrace our No‑Kill Philosophy
Be a self‑starter with strong problem‑solving skills and minimal‑supervision success
Communicate clearly (written and verbal) and elevate concerns appropriately
Be a positive, diplomatic team partner—someone who motivates others naturally
Be flexible for nights/weekends
Thrive in a fast‑paced environment. This is active, hands‑on shelter work. You’ll be on your feet, cleaning, moving cats and supplies, and shifting priorities based on what the animals need that day. The environment includes noise, strong smells, and allergens—because animal care is real life.
