Cat Tales Wildlife Center is a wonderful and remarkable sanctuary dedicated to the rescue and conservation of animals. Visiting is a wonderful, amazing, and absolute blast experience. It is a cool zoo for saved animals, providing a safe and nurturing environment for rescued big cats like tigers, lions, and cougars, as well as other animals such as bears, wolves, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, and bobcats. Many of these are retired or rescued from harmful conditions, and the center gives them what they need. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, kind, passionate, and dedicated. You can truly tell they care about and believe in their mission, and it shows through. The animals are happy, healthy, loved, cared for, adorable, and super active. Guests get up close to the animals and can book private tours or interactive sessions like feeding a bear or a tiger, which are safe and fun experiences. The guides are very informative and cordial, sharing cool animal wisdom. It is not a big zoo, and a visit may last just over an hour, but it is a unique and meaningful experience. The trails are not paved, so going when it's sunny and dry is a pro tip. As a non-profit charity, it relies on community support. Cat Tales is a must-visit for anyone who loves animals and wants to support their welfare and conservation.
It is so much fun to visit here! The animals have such personality, especially when it is feeding time. The employees are all wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Absolutely recommend!
