Wildlife Caretaker

A Wildlife Caretaker works at our Clinic and Sanctuary in Kendalia. The spring and summer months ("baby season") are the busiest for WRR, when we receive thousands of orphaned mammals and birds as well as injured adults. Volunteers assist Staff and Interns to keep up with feeding baby animals, cleaning cages, and other general clinic cleaning duties, such as washing bedding, feeding dishes, and implements. During the fall and winter, we see fewer animals and the work shifts more towards cleaning and organizational projects, as well as assisting with feeding and medical care.

Commitment

Minimum of one 4-hour shift twice a month for at least 3 months.

Availability

Year-round, 7 days a week, 6:00 a.m.–Midnight.

Training

Initial Volunteer orientation required. Additional on-the-job training by Clinic Staff. Supervised by Clinic Staff.
