Cat Tales Wildlife Center is more than a typical zoo; we are a dedicated wildlife rescue shelter that provides forever homes for animals in need. As a sanctuary for non-releasable and exotic animals, we offer year-round opportunities for visitors to experience up-close views of incredible animals within a safe, professionally managed environment.
- Up-close experiences: See big cats and other rescued wildlife just 15 feet away in protected viewing areas.
- Year-round education: Learn about wildlife care, conservation, and the stories behind each rescued animal no matter the season.
- Safe, compassionate care: Our animals are provided with enriching habitats, nutritious diets, and exceptional veterinary care within our 4.5-acre facility.
- A mission-driven visit: Each visit supports our ongoing work in animal rescue, care, and public education about wildlife conservation.
Plan your visit today to experience a unique opportunity to see and learn about wildlife while helping support the animals who call Cat Tales their forever home.

“Everyone I encountered in the park was so kind, friendly and knowledgeable. And the variety in the gift shop is incredible. No matter your budget, there is a trinket you can take home to commemorate your experience and the fact that the proceeds go right back into the park…just, wow. Thank you all for the wonderful work you are doing and sharing it with the public. 🩷 It was my first time visiting and I was so happy.”
