Wildlife Academy

Hands-on vocational training in animal care, behavior, safety, and wildlife management.

Tigger the Tiger

Tigger is one of the friendliest tigers at Cat Tales, known for greeting guests and keepers with his signature “chuff.” Rescued from the exotic animal industry, Tigger now helps visitors learn about tiger behavior, conservation, and the lifelong commitment required to care for big cats in captivity.

Ozzy the African Serval

With his long legs, incredible jumps, and spotted coat, Ozzy captures attention wherever he goes. Originally kept as an exotic pet, Ozzy now serves as an ambassador for his species, helping guests understand the challenges exotic animals face when private ownership no longer works out.
