Cat Tales Zoological Training Center

Zookeeper Training for your Professional Animal Care Career

Cat Tales Zoological Training Center is an internationally recognized, licensed vocational school.
The Zookeeper Training Programs are one of a kind in practical instruction and employable skills training.
Cat Tales offers a yearlong program divided into two areas of instruction and applied skills.
As a student of zoological studies, you will be exposed to the principals that define zookeeping, public relations, leadership and management as well as detailed education regarding the science and care of living beings.

What can Cat Tales Zoological Training Center 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.
