Meeting a Need

Cat grooming is not generally taught at the average grooming school. Nor is it covered at most grooming conventions and expos. Yet there are millions of cats in the USA that are in need of some form of professional grooming.

Setting a Standard

When a standard within a particular profession does not exist, one needs to be created in order to maintain some level of quality within that profession. This not only safeguards the profession as a whole, but it also provides the general public with a sort of “measuring stick” with which to use when searching for those particular services.

The NCGIA

For these reasons, the NCGIA was formed. Through instruction, mentoring, testing, certification, and on-going support the need for proper cat grooming as well as the need for maintaining quality standards can both be met.
