The Kittinterns!
Learning business so they can keep your company agile and tenacious
The Goal
Everyone knows that all businesses need to be ready for whatever the market throws at them and to do that, they need employees that are hungry for profits (and tuna). Here at Kittinterns, we take young, fresh-faced kittens and give them that killer instinct that gets them ahead in the business world. Then they can put that ferocity to work for you!
The Organization
Kittinterns is a rescue organization working with Orange County Animal Services to foster kittens and adult cats so they can grow, be socialized, and adopted to loving homes.

Graduation Day Again!
Well friends, it’s that time again. Two of our amazing interns have graduated!! Eclair and Macaron registered for early graduation and after carefully reviewing their progress, we finally agreed. They’ll be starting their own company with two humans as their employees. Hopefully the management skills they’ve learned here will translate in their new venture, allowing…

Learning From the Best
Mentorship is very important to us here at Kittinterns. Knowledge means nothing if it’s not passed on and preferably by the one who developed that knowledge. Matilda wrote the book on being a cat princess from cuddling for treats to advanced lounging. Here we see her passing on her experience to current intern Eclair on…

Company Health Benefits
It’s important to take care of your workers and here at Kittinterns, we make sure to do that. All of our employees get an extensive benefit package that includes top-notch healthcare and access to our world-class gym. And we don’t outsource! The gym is staffed by the most helpful and encouraging trainers we can find.…

Brain Piling
Coming up with new idea can be tough for new interns. They’ve just started and are afraid to speak up. But that can be overcome by the age-old tradition of…brainstorming! When they work as a group, they feel more comfortable and come up with better ideas. And what better way to put your heads together…

Group Projects
Sometimes you have to work on a group project with people you know won’t work as hard as you. This even happens with your siblings. Especially with your siblings. Tostito and Miss Vickie often get stuck together and, as you can tell from this picture, Tostito usually ends up doing most of the work while…

A Healthy Intern Is a Productive Intern
Most of our interns come straight from kitten college, so they don’t usually have the best eating habits. Not Fred here. He’s laser-focused on fitness. We tried to tell him that cats don’t actually need greenery but apparently the fitness influencers on Instagram disagree. And of course, they know better.

Cross Department Friendships
Interns start out doing basic work, but most eventually drift to departments that match their personalities. Fred’s special skill is getting along with everyone so he’s really a cat of the people. This has led him to spend a lot of time with the security department. They don’t have a lot to do, so they…

Job Titles Are Tough
Finding a job title for interns is difficult. I mean, we can’t just call them interns, right? Sometimes, we try harder than others. In this case, I think Lucy’s manager was either confused or lazy. I know she’s very artistic, but just giving her the title of “Paints” is a new low. If she hadn’t…

Customer Relations Part 1
Sometimes interns have to talk to customers. It’s not often, but sometimes it’s unavoidable, much to management’s regrets. Interns, unfortunately, have rarely developed filters for what customer’s should and shouldn’t know. Sometimes these customers don’t know how to interact with others and while we’d all like to tell them, doing so doesn’t usually help. So…

The Milk Bar
Some days can be tough. At the end of the day, you just can’t wait to get out of work and think about anything else. And maybe you just want to go some place where everybody knows your name. We work our interns hard and they all have their favorite bar where I sure hope…
