☀️🐾 Summer at Cat Tales is in Full Swing!

Longer days, warmer weather, and plenty of wild moments — summer is one of the most exciting times to visit Cat Tales!

Mornings are your best chance to catch the animals on the move. Big cats like tigers and pumas are often active in the cooler hours — prowling, stretching, and showing off those effortless “king of the jungle” poses. You might spot bobcats perched up high, quietly observing everything, or foxes darting, digging, and investigating every new scent.

As the day warms up, things slow down a bit — and that’s okay. Midday is perfect for catching relaxed behaviors: lounging lions (well… tigers in our case 😉), shady naps, and the occasional splash or enrichment moment.

🔥 Hot Weather Tip:
On warmer days, animals conserve energy just like we do. Plan for a morning visit or later afternoon when temperatures begin to cool and activity picks back up.

Summer also brings a different rhythm to the sanctuary:

  • More enrichment and training sessions
  • More guest interaction and storytelling
  • More chances to see personalities shine

And with our 35th anniversary celebration happening this season, there’s even more reason to explore, reconnect, and experience Cat Tales in a whole new way.

👟 What to Expect:
Sunshine, the occasional breeze — and yes, even sprinklers on hot days. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and take your time wandering.

☕ Cold drinks, snacks, and wild stories are always waiting in the gift shop.

Most importantly, your visit supports rescue, lifelong care, and compassionate education for animals who can never return to the wild. Every visit truly matters.
