New Concord is home to a growing population of feral cats, and this internship gives students the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through hands-on community service. Interns support local efforts to care for and manage these cat colonies by assisting with feeding, shelter upkeep, monitoring health concerns, and promoting humane care practices. This internship is ideal for students interested in animal welfare, community outreach, or nonprofit work—and provides valuable experience in responsibility, problem-solving, and compassionate service.
The New Concord Feral Cats Society is seeking a compassionate and dedicated college student(s) to assist in promoting awareness of the feral cat population in New Concord and implementing humane methods to both find care for and manage the population. This internship provides an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by educating the community, collaborating with local no-kill shelters, and assisting in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and adoption efforts.
As an intern, you may work closely with local no-kill shelters and sanctuaries such as The Animal Shelter Society of Zanesville, and local veterinary partners.
This internship includes a stipend of up to $1,000, for which the intern may allocate in the most effective way to support feral cat awareness, humane control efforts, transportation, or shelter partnerships.
The application process for fall 2025 is now closed.
