Job description

At Cat Care Clinic of Naples, cats aren’t part of what we do. They’re all we do. Since 1997, we’ve been Southwest Florida’s only cat-exclusive veterinary hospital, and we believe every cat deserves exceptional care. We’re seeking a passionate, detail-oriented Licensed Veterinary Technician to join our feline-exclusive team and help deliver that care every day.

In this role, you’ll provide exceptional patient care, assist with medical and surgical procedures, and help create the concierge-level experience our clients and their cats have come to expect. It’s meaningful, hands-on work in a calm, cat-only environment where your skills directly impact patient outcomes.

The Kind of Place You’ve Been Looking For

This is feline nursing without the noise. You’ll work in a calm, cat-only environment on a schedule that respects your life outside the clinic. Here’s what sets the role apart:

• A feline-exclusive caseload, with no dogs and no chaos
• Closed weekends and all major holidays
• No emergency or on-call rotations
• A set weekly schedule, with no rotating shifts
• A Fear Free, low-stress work environment
• A small, supportive team where your work is seen and valued

What You’ll Do

You’ll practice the full scope of feline nursing, right alongside our veterinarians:

• Provide low-stress feline restraint and handling
• Assist our veterinarians during exams, surgeries, dental procedures, and diagnostic workups
• Administer medications, vaccines, and treatments per protocol
• Run in-house lab work, including blood chemistry, CBC, urinalysis, and cytology
• Operate digital radiography, ultrasound, and anesthesia monitoring equipment
• Induce, monitor, and recover feline patients under anesthesia
• Place IV catheters and support critical care patients
• Maintain aseptic technique during surgery and sample collection
• Document all patient care in our PIMS
• Communicate treatment plans and post-care instructions to clients
• Mentor junior team members

Who You Are

• Proficiency in feline anatomy, pharmacology, and disease processes
• Experience with anesthesia, IV catheterization, dental prophylaxis, and radiography
• Fear Free or Cat Friendly Practice training (a plus)
• Strong communication skills and a client-first mindset

This is hands-on, physical work. You’ll be on your feet for extended periods and comfortable lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds, with the manual dexterity to handle instruments and small patients. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request.

Skilled technicians are the backbone of great feline medicine, and your pay here reflects the experience you bring:

• $20 to $25 per hour, based on experience
