Enrichment Day at Catty Shack Ranch

On Sundays you can watch us hand out treats to some of our animals. We talk about our enrichment program and how it makes life better for the animals under our care. Admittance is between 1pm and 3pm, but we hand out the enrichment treats at 2pm. Your visit on a Sunday afternoon will start with an introductory video that explains a little about us and our history. Then you will go on a self-guided walking tour with the opportunity to see our resident animals, which include tigers, lions, cougars, leopards, bobcats, servals, caracals, bears, coatimundis, and foxes. Touring begins at 1:00 PM. Most people take 45 minutes to an hour to visit all the habitats, and you are encouraged to ask questions of the volunteers and staff posted in different areas. Following your tour, you are free to wander around and revisit the animals, head to our entrance area and get something to eat or drink from our concession stand, or sit and relax on any of our benches and watch the animals. We begin the enrichments at 2:00 PM and any of the volunteers or staff can tell you where they will begin. We have a gift shop at the entry/exit point, and last admittance is 3:00 PM.
