The Wildcat Sanctuary is home to over 100 feline residents; all of which rely heavily on the daily husbandry provided by staff and interns. TWS is looking for hardworking individuals who are dedicated to providing the ultimate care for rescued felines while maintaining strict safety protocols. Our goal is to aid interns in gaining experience in the animal industry while educating them about the sanctuary field and the captive wildlife crisis. Interns will gain valuable experience from exotic feline husbandry, assisting staff in the building of animal enclosures, observing on-site veterinary procedures, and helping with educational and fundraising programs. Please note: contact is prohibited between the wild cat residents and interns.

Two durations:
The internship duration is 3 months and is a non-paid position. Candidates should have at least 2 years of undergraduate program studies in zoology, animal management, biology or related field

The internship duration is 6 months and interns receive a weekly cash stipend for food.  Candidates should have a degree in zoology, biology or related field is preferred, but experience with exotic animal husbandry may be considered.

We accept up to five full-time interns for each internship period. Internship starting dates generally coincide with the seasons of the year and may vary due to an intern’s availability. Interns are required to live on-site for the entire duration of the internship period. TWS provides free intern housing for 1-5 people.

We cannot accept international applications at this time.
