Intern Opportunities at WildCat Ridge Sanctuary

WildCat Ridge Sanctuary has immediate openings for hardworking and enthusiastic Animal Care Interns.

WildCat Ridge Sanctuary is home to over 60 captive-born wildcats and hybrids. We are accredited by Tigers in America, verified by Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, and a member of the American Association of Zoo Keepers and The Big Cat Sanctuary Alliance.

WCR follows the highest standards of care and safety. WildCat Ridge is looking for hardworking individuals who are dedicated to providing that care while maintaining strict safety protocols.

Internships are a great opportunity to learn more about working at a true sanctuary while adding skills to your resume. WCR is not open to the public allowing the Animal Care Interns to devote all their time to caring for the wildcat residents without taking time away to do tours. This provides an incredible opportunity to get to know every one of the animals that they work with on a more personal level.

The animal internship program will also provide valuable knowledge and experience with exotic feline husbandry while educating about the active wildlife crisis and sanctuary field. Animal Care Internships are full-time positions and run for 16 weeks up to 24 weeks. Interns work weekdays and weekends as needed, with a minimum of 40 hours. We do not offer housing accommodations, therefore housing and transportation are at the cost and responsibility of the intern. (You must be at least 21 years of age) A monthly stipend of $560 is paid.

Note: contact is prohibited between the wildcat residents and interns.
