Fall at Cat Tales
Fall brings changing temperatures and a different rhythm to the grounds. Every day at Cat Tales is different: animal activity can vary with the weather, care routines, staffing levels, and each animal’s needs.
Mornings can be a lovely time to walk the grounds as the day begins. On cooler days, you may see animals exploring, resting, or settling into their routines.
Midday offers time to enjoy the habitats and see daily care in action. Some animals, including the pumas and raccoons, may be fed earlier in the day.
Afternoons are popular because feeding encounters generally run until about 2:30 PM, and some animals are often fed between 3:00 and 3:30 PM. Depending on the day, this may include canines, Siberian tigers, small cats on the east side, and foxes.
Visitors may also have the chance to enjoy:
- A free daily tour
- Animal enrichment or training
- Keeper talks and staff available for questions
- Daily feeding and care routines
Activities, times, and animals featured may change based on animal care needs, weather, and staffing. For the best experience, give yourself time to walk slowly, join the activities available that day, and enjoy the animals at their own pace.
Wild animals do not follow a show schedule — and that is part of what makes every visit unique.
What to Expect: Fall weather can change throughout the day. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a layer, and take your time wandering. Cold drinks, snacks, and wild stories are 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 matters.
