Support Wildlife Rescue & Education
Cat Tales Wildlife Center offers limited volunteer and internship opportunities for individuals interested in supporting wildlife education, nonprofit operations, and facility support activities within a working wildlife sanctuary environment.
These opportunities are designed to support the daily operations of the Wildlife Center while providing participants with exposure to the professional standards and responsibilities involved in operating a wildlife facility.

For safety, liability, and animal welfare reasons, routine volunteers do not participate in direct animal care or handling activities.
All volunteer participation is supervised and assigned based on facility needs, safety requirements, and operational priorities.
