Our Wichita barn cares for dogs, cats, and our youngest, most fragile residents through the Neonatal Kitten Program. We're looking for a dependable, animal-loving teammate to help these little ones — and our adoptable dogs and cats — thrive every day. 

What You'll Do

✅ Provide daily care for dogs, cats, and kittens — including feeding, watering, bottle-feeding neonatal kittens on schedule, and administering medications (heartworm & flea/tick prevention, plus kitten-specific care as directed). 

✅ Walk and exercise dogs throughout your shift; provide enrichment, handling, and socialization for cats and kittens. 

✅ Monitor neonatal kittens closely — weigh, chart, and report any concerns to the team lead promptly. 

✅ Clean and disinfect kennels, cat rooms, kitten nursery spaces, floors, furniture, bowls, litter boxes, and bedding to maintain a safe, sanitary environment. 

✅ Pick up waste, scoop litter, handle laundry, and keep supplies organized and restocked. 

✅ Give every animal love, gentle handling, and the socialization they need to grow confident and adoptable. 

✅ Assist with events at the barn as needed. 

✅ Take and share quality photos and videos to help promote our adoptable dogs, cats, and kittens. 

✅ Accept and organize deliveries; help build and assemble kennels, kitten nursery setups, and other barn supplies. 

✅ Assist the Maintenance Lead as needed (mowing, shoveling snow, light upkeep, etc.).

What We're Looking For

✔ Animal care experience required — Comfortable working around multiple dogs (including reactive ones), cats, and fragile neonatal kittens. 

✔ Bottle-feeding or willingness to learn — Neonatal kittens require feeding around the clock during their earliest weeks; we'll train the right person. 

✔ Physical stamina — Able to lift 50 lbs and stay on your feet for 4+ hours. 

✔ Reliable & responsible — Consistency is everything, especially for kittens whose lives depend on regular feedings. 

✔ Calm, gentle hands — Neonates and shy cats need a steady, patient presence. 

✔ Great communication & social media skills — Ability to capture quality photos and videos for adoption promotion. 

✔ 18+ years old.

Schedule & Commitment

• Must be willing to commit to a set schedule for consistency in animal care.
• Must be willing to work holidays, nights, and weekends.
• Flexibility for occasional overnight or extended-shift coverage during neonatal kitten season is a plus.
