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.

Legacy Skills
As an intern, you’re sometimes asked to learn skills that you don’t think you’ll ever need. I mean, who even faxes anymore??? As you can see, Agnes gave us quite the stink-eye when we asked her to show off her typing skills. In her words, “Typing it’s your old people. I yuzz voice to Tess.”…

Aggressive Negotiations
Sometimes business is undignified. Sometimes you’re called to do things you don’t want to do, things that might be unseemly. This can take time for new interns to get used to. But some interns are born ready to dig in and do what it takes to get ahead in business, no matter how dirty they…

Work Avoidance
Today we just couldn’t find Agnes anywhere. It’s not that unusual for an intern to go missing, but usually we find them stalking someone or something. The last time this happened, we found her methodically destroying the company Christmas tree. Well, one of them. In a company of cats we need lots. Anyway, we eventually…

Holiday Tips
Hi all, former intern Millie here! Just a reminder: make sure all holiday decorations adhere to company safety policies. For example, my tree here is made of cardboard so that it won’t fall and hurt anyone. Also, it’s delicious and fun to chew on! PS: If you’re putting gifts under the company Christmas tree, make…

Off-time Schmoozing
Today, Agnes decided to do some schmoozing with upper management to get them on her side in the conflict with the guest interns. So she did what all corporate ladder climbers do and just happened to show up where the bosses were taking part in their favorite weekend activity…sleeping at their desks! Unbeknownst to Agnes,…

Safety Training
Eager to help out, Sprite gave an impromptu safety talk about the dangers of workplace biohazards to the whole crew. In a fit of pique, Agnes provided us with this proof of her much more aggressive take on workplace safety.

Quality Control
Senior Intern Agnes raised concern today about the guest interns. “I just think it’s suspicious that there were no naughty kids this year. I think those guest interns are up to something and I’m going to keep my eye on them.” We wish her well in her stakeout and applaud her vigilance but don’t think…

Guest Interns!
We’ve got some international guest interns visiting us this week all the way from Santa’s workshop! As you can see, they were in the coal department, but this year there were so few naughty kids, they didn’t have anything to do! So now they’re here with us keeping our other interns honest, not that they…
