🐱Sometimes people think of cats as solitary or independent animals, but as you can see by this picture, those are not words to describe most of our cats. All of our cats were rescued from shelters!🐈 Here at the show, we have large suites that house all of our cats and most have at least 10 other friends living with them. They also love attention and will cling to trainers like glue all while insisting on snuggles and a trainer’s lap to take a catnap on.😹 –Kaitlan, Animals on Safari manager

🐶We have about 25 dogs here at Animals on Safari at any given time.🐕 All of our dogs are rescues from local shelters, and they are some of the sweetest and smartest dogs you will ever meet. This is a picture of our largest play yard group outside enjoying the beautiful spring weather. All of our dogs live on grounds with housemates and as keepers, we spend about 8-10 hours with them each day making sure they are taken care of. They have indoor houses as well as outdoor yards (as pictured) to burn off energy and to get enrichment. In the summer time, we like to take them on walks around the Zoo, so if you see us out and about, be sure to say hi! –Kaitlan, Animals on Safari manager
