​What can Cat Tales Wildlife Academy do for you?

  • We know what employers are looking for in a zookeeper. We train employable skills.
  • You need time spent "on the job" to be considered for positions. A college diploma is often not enough.
  • You have limited funds, college is expensive and there is no guarantee of a job without experience.
  • Maybe you aren't ready for college or need to know if professional animal care is your career path.
  • You want training that is specific to your skill level and rate of advancement.
  • You love animals, want to save endangered species, do or don't want to be a veterinarian, or want a career that is enriching not only for the animals, but yourself.
  • ​The opportunity for professional animal care training is limited and competitive. We are a quality option.
  • We are a safe and structured environment that offers opportunities that are not available elsewhere.
  • Experience is the best teacher. We offer a dedicated program to provide this experience.
  • ​We will assist qualified, dedicated graduates in networking with employers and job placement.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
