Wildlife Rehabilitator?

It is very hard having a career JUST working with one type or group of animal. Unless you find a wildlife sanctuary that only has wild cats, you are out of luck. They DO exist, but most people that work there are volunteers..they usually have few paid positions and these positions do not pay much. If you want to do this as a volunteer, I am sure you could find somewhere to do it..but if you want to be paid, you need a degree. You might be better off working at a general animal sanctuary or zoo where you can work with a variety of animals including wild cats. Most zoos place you where you are needed, NOT where you request to be. You might be able to be a big cat keeper after putting in many years as a keeper of some other animals as LOTS of people want to work with big cats, and like I said..there are just not that many paid jobs out there that are this specialized.
