Awww Cat Tales. This is a nice cat rescue. Some of the exhibits look a little tired, but this is run exclusively on donations, and the cats and animals living here are in a better situation than where they were previously. The staff is super friendly and they take really good care of the animals. If the idea of big, wild animals living in cages makes you sad, don't be mad at Cat Tales, be mad at the humans that tried to raise these gorgeous animals for entertainment/as pets. It's definitely worth stopping by to say hello to these cuties and for your donation.

I had the best time here today. It’s so clear everyone loves the cats (and others!) so much. I got to feed here white tiger. We had little chuff talks with the other tigers. I loved watching the foxes slide across the snow after food time. Very cool spot.

Sad to see locked up cats, bears, coyotes and foxes. Its small and we spent about 45 minutes here. I don't think we will ever go back not a super great memory for us. Mostly stinky and sad for the animals locked in such small cages. It was a super hot day about 100 degrees outside. They did have sprinklers keeping the animals cool. If you plan your trip for feeding time it might be a little more interesting.

Not bad, Zoo is small. Thought we'd be getting a tour. The cages are very small and you kinda feel sorry for the animals. The "gift shop" is set up outside in the green building and it's not run efficiently. Masks are required unless you're away from the animals.

Do the cats have enough room? I dont want to visit where I feel they are pacing back n forth in frustration in a kennel. How big are the caged areas? How many per cage?

anita butler | Aug 18, 2021
Trent Crawford | Aug 18, 2021

They have lots of space and the staff make sure they are very comfortable. Animals do pace back and forth but usually its because they want the keepers to pet them or feed them. Most of them are rescues and would not survive in the wild. So this is their forever home!

What time are the cats the most active/exciting to watch?

Alexander Burt | Aug 18, 2021
Cat Tales Wildlife Center | Aug 18, 2021

Though activity varies with the weather, the most active time is at feeding time. This time of year (spring) we feed at about 2:30 pm. As the weather gets warmer that time could be delayed based on the animal's food drive.

What is the cost?

Felicia Smith | Aug 18, 2020
Danielle Stenblom | Aug 18, 2020

Right now they are only open for private tours of 6 or fewer people for one hour at $100 per group.

No...they do not have snakes. The only residents that are not cats are their two bears. I got to hand feed grapes to Oso (one of the bears) which was an amazing experience!! I've also fed Zamba (R.I.P.), Tuga, and a lioness....ALL AMAZING EXPERIENCES!!!

How menu animals do you have out on Friday

Kenzie | Aug 19, 2018
M G | Aug 19, 2018

All of them! They're only on the menu if you decide to eat them but that's not what Cat Tails is about. When we visited the animals went in and out of their shelters as they pleased. The coolest attraction was being allowed to feed lions and a bear! Definitely worth the visit!
