Spokane
Purr-fect place
Cat Tales is a roaring good time
Cat Tales Zoological Park has lions and tigers and bears—oh my! Many of the animals in the care of Cat Tales have been rescued from the private sector—illegal exotic pets that have been mistreated, abandoned or confiscated from their owners.

There are several big cats at the park, including extremely endangered animals such as the Barbary lion, South American black jaguar and Bengal tiger. The zookeepers at the park work with each animal to help keep them stimulated and healthy, developing affectionate relationships with the cats and other non-felines.
Cat Tales Zoological Park is also a zoological training centre, making it an excellent place for future zoologists to get a greater understanding of the work that goes into the care and maintenance of zoo animals as well as the importance of breeding and reintroduction programs.
