The Best Time To Visit
🍂❄️ Fall & Winter at Cat Tales Wildlife Center ❄️🍂
As the seasons change, our sanctuary takes on a new kind of beauty. Crisp fall days and snowy winter mornings bring out unique behaviors in our rescued animals—from bobcats pouncing through leaves to tigers enjoying the cool air.
During colder months, many of our older animals prefer cozy naps in their dens, while others remain curious and active outdoors. Guests often enjoy seeing bears preparing for winter or catching a glimpse of big cats basking in the crisp sunshine.
We encourage visitors to bundle up warmly, wear sturdy shoes, and be prepared for the weather so you can enjoy your adventure in comfort. Hot drinks and warm smiles await in the gift shop!
Every visit supports our mission of rescue, compassionate care, and conservation education. Thank you for being part of the Cat Tales family this season. For an extra-special memory, consider booking an Animal Encounter during your visit.
