THE CAT TALES TEAM

Picture

Debbie Wyche

Co-founder & Wildlife Director

Also known as Cat One on the radio (or The Mama to crew), Debbie's five previous years of professional zoological work was invaluable when she and her late husband, Mike, decided to open Cat Tales in 1991.  She works tirelessly as an incredible teacher at our wildlife academy, all while being a very familiar face for those who visit.

Lisa Grey

Executive Director

Having grown up at Cat Tales, working there as a teenager and for many of her young adult years, Lisa uses all of her knowledge to cement herself as a crucial member of our staff.  From educating new students to moving big cats, feeding animals, cleaning exhibits and interacting with guests, there's nothing she can't do.  Cat Tales is a source of pride and joy for her, and a common face for those around the park.

Randy Grey

Operations Supervisor

As one of our more behind the scenes managers, you're less likely to see Randy as you are to hear him over the radio.  An integral part of keeping all the behind the scenes maintenance, construction, inventory, and food preparation flowing smoothly. His easy demeaner contributes to the well-being of the animals and the staff as he continues to make a daily difference at Cat Tales.

Hannah

Senior Keeper

Coming from Coeur D'alene, Hannah is one of our newly graduated keepers.  She's adapted naturally to the intensive work, and is a source of dry, fun humor that keeps everyone's spirits up.  You've likely met her during an excellent tour, or when she's giving big cat and black bear adventures.  Nothing is too big of a challenge for Hannah.  She's even become friends with some of our more prickly animals!

Alice

Guest Services

The granddaughter of Cat Tales founders, Alice primarily works in guest relations in the Gift Shop & Ticket Booth. But when needed elsewhere she's more than happy to assist in anything and everything; often assigned as a tour guide, to maintenance, or in food prep.​

We couldn't do what we do without the hard work and assistance of our Students, Volunteers, and Interns!
