Cat Tales Wildlife Center, Wildlife sanctuary and zoological training center in Mead, Washington, United States
Cat Tales Wildlife Center is a rescue facility for native and exotic animals such as tigers, bears, wolves, and foxes housed in spacious enclosures. The facility allows visitors to observe animals from close distances and focuses on rescue, rehabilitation, and wildlife education.
The facility was founded in 1991 and quickly became recognized as a rescue center for injured wildlife. Over the following decades, the mission expanded to include an internationally known zoological training program.
The center was founded to give a home to orphaned and rescued animals, particularly those seized from illegal trade situations. Visitors watch daily as caretakers work with the animals and explain their behaviors and natural needs.
Visitors can observe animals from a close but safe distance and participate in guided tours that explain wildlife rescue and animal care. It is helpful to wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are explored on foot.
The Cats of the World museum building displays exhibits documenting the habitats and behavior of large cats worldwide. This collection offers deeper insight into the specialized needs of these predators.
