ANGIEOwner and Cat Stylist
Angie has an MSA from Central Michigan University in Human Resources and worked in the corporate world for 15 years before realizing her passion. She obtained her grooming certification in February of 2009 from Cornerstone Dog Grooming Academy in Clyde, Ohio and has been grooming both dogs and cats since. She has been fortunate to have had the opportunities to groom at a few different daycare/hotel facilities and in a vet setting where she was able to have cat only grooming days, as well as, in salons where both dogs and cats were groomed at the same time. No matter how loud, chaotic, or busy the salons were, both species were mixed in being groomed besides each other. It was while working in both atmospheres that she noticed a tremendous difference in cats' behavior, stress levels, as well as seeing the aggression levels heighten in a cat when dogs were present. This is what prompted her to open Kitty Cuts Grooming, a salon exclusively for cats who are the only animals present. Throughout her career she has continued her education by attending various trade shows (in and out of state), enrolled in classes and taking seminars to keep up on the industry standards, she is also certified in Pet CPR/First Aid. Angie has had multiple training sessions with a Master Certified Cat Groomer and is a member of the National Cat Groomers Institute (NCGI) program, the only certified cat grooming school within the US. Angie had always been a dog person, while growing up her family always had dogs and steered away from cats, however, it was when she got a cat from a friend in her 30's that she absolutely fell madly in love with him. A red male DSH named Peanut Butter that showed her what loving, in tune, tentative and sensitive creatures' cats are. Peanut Butter unfortunately passed away way too young to heart failure and he took a piece of her with him. His quiet, calm demeanor is what reminds her of why she founded Kitty Cuts Grooming; she wants all cats to be as confident and unafraid as he was. Angie now has a red DSH girl named Mango who is the exact opposite and must be catered to; but she wouldn't have it any other way! |
