Description
WildCat Haven has openings for the Fall and Winter Internship Programs, starting in September. We accept up to four full-time interns for each 12 week period.
WildCat Haven is located in Sherwood, Oregon and home to over 60 rescued captive-born wildcat residents. We are looking for interns who are passionate about animal welfare and making a difference. If you are dedicated, safety conscience, physically fit, can be a team player but still work independently, this may be the program for you. This is a VERY physical position and involves all the hard & dirty work that goes with caring for animals. Our program is specific to the sanctuary field, including exotic feline husbandry, observation of the animals, safety protocol, building enclosures and more. Internships are non-paid positions and run for a minimum 12 weeks. Interns work five days a week with a minimum of 40 hours. This may include a week-end day. There is no on-site housing available, and interns must provide their own transportation.
