Central Florida Animal Reserve

Closing Date

Description

The Central Florida Animal Reserve (CFAR) is a big cat and wildlife sanctuary housing tigers, lions, leopards and cougars. Our non- profit facility serves big cats that would not otherwise have a home. CFAR is in beautiful east Osceola county in St. Cloud Florida. We have recently moved to this brand-new facility which has opened many opportunities for interns to come and learn and gain valuable experience working with the big cats.
We are seeking dependable, hardworking college students or recent graduates interested in the field of animal care. You will be working side by side with CFAR staff and volunteers and will be required to clean enclosures, prep meat and diets, record daily notes on each individual cat and various other duties essential to the care of the animals. You will also learn about the importance of enrichment and how to train animals for husbandry purposes.
CFAR always abides by a strict no contact/ protected contact policy.
