Of all God's
creatures, there is
only one that
cannot be made
slave of the leash.
That one is the cat.
If man could be
crossed with the
cat it would
improve the man,
but it would
deteriorate the cat.

Filling the Gap

While dog grooming courses are offered at every grooming school, there is a
serious lack of proper training and education in the area of professional feline
grooming. What is useful for grooming dogs cannot and should not be applied to the
handling of cats. The NCGIA was formed for the purpose of setting and maintaining
cat grooming standards, providing training and education, and awarding
certification when training requirements are met.
The Objectives of the NCGIA:
Define and uphold standards of feline grooming
Provide various forms of education and training
Conduct seminars and workshops
Provide testing
Award certification
Teach and promote safety in feline grooming
Organize cat grooming competitions
Offer membership benefits
Provide support for feline groomers
Be involved in legistration work
