Feeling ready for some outdoor time to benefit Wildlife?
Those of you looking for some spring and summer volunteer opportunities where you can talk to visitors about the amazing animals, support a local non-profit, and have a volunteer experience like no other, look no further!
As a Cat Tales Wildlife Center volunteer you will have a chance to connect with our guests in gift shop or as a tour guide, help with the daily tasks to ensure comfort and quality care for the animals, (and for those reliable and consistent volunteers, a chance to help with animal feeding adventures which includes bears, tigers and foxes!).
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit we do not receive any city, state or federal funding. Nearly 100% of our regular income is from guests via support roles staffed by our volunteers.
If you love the animals and can spare even a few hours each week you can help in making our daily operations a success, vital to ensuring the financial support for the animals’ say to day needs.

We are looking for Volunteers to help at the Wildlife Center.

- We need you to commit to a minimum of 3 (three) months.
- Current Covid protocol and strict safety policies are in place and must be adhered to.
- Volunteers that are interested in animal related positions must first learn the guest relations side of Cat Tales. Once PR training has been mastered, should you chose to expand your skills, opportunities to work around the animals may be available.
- Volunteer positions and availability changes with the seasons, the current staffing and the animal population.
- We are also in need of help with construction projects.
Regardless of which area you would like to volunteer in, the following is required:
- You must be Honest, Dependable, Punctual, Polite, Happy, and Safe
- Also, a Self-Starter, a Team Player, and have your own Transportation.
We are looking for long term volunteers as the training will take us away from our animal related duties.
We ask our volunteers to dedicate one day, of at least 4 hours, per week for the season or longer.
