Charm School Nurse Assistant (South LA)

Our School Nurse Assistants help keep the cats/kittens in our care happy, healthy and ready for their next adventure!

As a School Nurse Assistant, you’ll help provide basic medical care to our on-site students. Under the supervision of our Director of Lifesaving, duties will include (but are not limited to) conducting physical examinations, giving vaccines, and assisting with simple treatments and medications. No prior experience is needed—we’ll teach you everything you need to know! All you need is a love for cats, a willingness to learn gentle, fear-free handling techniques, and an eye for detail (including some light data entry). You’ll work in small teams to make sure each kitty gets the care and attention they deserve.

• AM: 9:00–11:30 am
• Midday: 12:00–2:00 pm
• PM (Thu–Sun): 3:30–6:00 pm
• PM (Mon–Wed): 6:00–8:30 pm

Kitty Bungalow is a non-profit cat wellness and socialization facility located in South Los Angeles. Our cats and kittens come from the mean streets of Los Angeles, whether it’s directly from TNR, from the LA Animal Services, or working with our remarkable rescue partners, helping the most vulnerable of felines.

We offer free TNR services to our local community, helping thousands of cats each year by ensuring they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and parasites. This essential work helps control the population of stray cats, prevents disease, and improves overall quality of life for community felines.

Each year, we intake hundreds of kittens into our Charm School, where our group of volunteers socialize and rehabilitate them. Our dedicated team of onsite volunteers and foster parents care for our "students," using force-free socialization techniques to help street cats transition from 'hiss to home'.

As a No Kill facility, we believe that working together is how the best life-saving strategies come to be. ​

As a 501c3, we rely on community support.
