Description

4-Day Work Week. All Cats, All the Time.

Cats Limited is a feline-exclusive, AAHA-accredited hospital in West Hartford, CT, built from the ground up around how cats actually experience veterinary care. Not "mostly cats." Not "cat-friendly certified" as an afterthought. Every protocol, every exam room, every handling technique is designed for cats, by people who genuinely love them.

We're looking for a Veterinary Technician who doesn't just tolerate cats, but who lights up talking about feline behavior, low-stress handling, and the "why" behind the medicine. Someone who wants a career, not just a job and a team and leaders invested in helping you build it.

What you can expect from us:

• 4-day work week - We work hard to make sure our team has time to recharge

• Flexible scheduling for the right candidate

• Highly talented and collaborative team

• Leaders who actively encourage curiosity and continued learning

• Calm, quiet, cat-only environment - no barking, no chaos

• Strong technician utilization - you'll actually use your skills, not just restrain and clean

• Clients who deeply respect the care and relationships the team builds

What you'll actually be doing:

• Blood draws, cystocentesis, and ultrasound-guided cystocentesis

• Diagnostics and patient workflow management

• Technician appointments and client education

• Surgery and anesthesia support

• Feline-specific handling and behavior-based patient care

• Supporting advanced medicine, including our I-131 (radioactive iodine) program

Our tools and technology:
IDEXX ProCyte, Catalyst DX, and Sedivue • Zomedica Truforma feline-specific diagnostics • Ultrasound (including a traveling ultrasonographer for echocardiograms) • Digital radiography and dental radiography • Companion laser • Radioactive iodine (I-131) treatment program • Advanced feline diagnostics and second-opinion consults

You might be a great fit if you:

• Notice the subtle shifts in feline body language before anyone else does

• Get genuinely curious about the medicine behind the symptoms

• Value communication and teamwork as much as technical skill

• Want to keep growing into a feline medicine specialist, not just stay stagnant

Credentialed technicians preferred; experienced non-credentialed technicians are encouraged to apply.

Compensation: $23-28/hour, based on experience.

Our Comprehensive benefit package includes:

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

401(k) with a total company match up to 4%, after 6 months of employment

Generous paid time off and flexible scheduling

Continuing education allowance and professional development support

Mental Health Resources
