Job description

Practice
TLC Cat Clinic, located in Plymouth, MN, specializes in providing high-quality, compassionate veterinary care exclusively for cats.

At TLC Cat Clinic, we are committed to ensuring the well-being of feline companions in a warm and welcoming environment.
More about the Role
Not all veterinary assistant roles are created equal.
At TLC Cat Clinic, we've intentionally built a different kind of environment-one that's quieter, more focused, and designed around what cats (and the people who love them) actually need.
If you're looking to practice high-quality medicine without the chaos of barking dogs, heavy restraint, or snowy patient walks, this may be the change you've been hoping for.

Patients are generally under 20 lbs
Minimal noise, calmer workflow
No nights or weekends (M-F, 9am-6pm)
Emphasis on low-stress handling (Churu > force, always)
The ability to truly specialize in feline medicine
Streamlined inventory & pharmacy (yes, it matters)
And... a healthy supply of lint rollers
Pay: $18 - $21
