“I know that a job in rehab/conservation will have lots of hands-on interaction which is one of the reasons I am attracted the career, but am also aware that I will need experience and training with animal care, husbandry, health, medicine, etc.. An internship at Cat Tales would offer me a great foundational experience in these areas.”
