As a certification association for cat groomers, the National Cat Groomers Institute of America, Inc. set the standards for cat grooming within the pet grooming industry. Certification drives groomers to provide the highest level of care and service and also assures clients that their beloved pets are in good hands. While certification is certainly not the only measure of a groomer’s abilities, it has been linked with higher earning potential and other rewards. In order to show one’s aptitude for performing the handling and grooming skills necessary in meeting those standards.

"Sarah is an amazing cat groomer and so patient as a teacher. Though I’ve been grooming cats for many years I felt there were some methods I needed to upgrade and improve and she has given me exactly what I needed to hone my skills. Her setup is terrific and I’ve learnt so much in a short time which I know will benefit my own business."
