Link internship
at the
national tiger sanctuary
I did my internship at the National Tiger Sanctuary in Branson, Missouri. I stayed in a hotel by myself in a town about 15 minutes from the sanctuary. Their mission is "Preservation Through Education." They offer guided tours only, 4 times a day, and try to give the cats two full days off each week by being closed Mondays and Tuesdays. They have 30 big cats - 19 tigers, 6 lions, 2 mountain lions, 2 black leopards, and 1 yellow leopard. All cats are rescues and come from private owners, zoos, other sanctuaries, Pay for Play, and Branson's magic shows. Once there, a cat will spend the rest of it's life at the National Tiger Sanctuary.
