Not everyone cares about elevating their grooms and their business to a whole new level. But if you are one of them, check this out.

"Enrolling in the National Cat Groomers Institute was truly one of the most rewarding decisions of my career. Even as a groomer with over 15 years of experience, the NCGI Syllabus provided me with invaluable techniques to handle felines more safely and confidently, elevating my grooms to a whole new level.

This education gave me the courage and knowledge to take the leap and open my own cat-exclusive salon. Now, as a Certified Feline Master Groomer, I am so thankful for the education NCGI has provided, and continues to provide. NCGI gave me the exact skills and confidence I needed to build the successful business I have today!"

"I have been a dog groomer for 5 years now and just recently decided to learn cat grooming. I was researching the best courses to take and found the NCGI.

Purchasing the Complete Cat Groomer Training Syllabus has become the best decision I have made in my career. Before taking the course, I wasn't able to groom a majority of the cats on my own, and now I can. I am working towards becoming a CFMG and will eventually be feline exclusive."

Can you relate to any of this?

"My journey into cat grooming started 7 years ago, when I gave my cat my very first lion cut. She was matted, I saw a problem that needed to be fixed, and something clicked. I had always known I wanted to work with animals, I just never knew where I belonged.

Before NCGI, much of what I knew came from groomers I had worked under, some showed me what a groomer should be, while others showed me what one should never be. The Complete Cat Groomer Training Syllabus gave me the feline-specific foundation and the direction I had been searching for. It changed how I understand cats, approach handling, communicate with clients, and make decisions based on the individual cat rather than simply a finished groom.

I’m especially grateful to Lynn Paolillo for giving me someone to aspire to be. Mercedes Schenk for showing me that house-call grooming is career worthy, Danelle German for teaching me I could do anything I worked hard for, Melissa Hall for continually supporting me, Elizabeth Farmer for transforming how I work with clients, and Sandi Smith for teaching me to slow down, breathe and take my time.

In October 2027, I plan to travel from British Columbia, Canada to Arizona for PPI and certification with Melissa. Certification will never be “just a piece of paper.” To me it represents the education, discipline and standards behind the work I intend to dedicate my life to: being a cat groomer."
