CONDUCT REQUIREMENTS
As a student of the Cat Tales Wildlife Academy, you will be expected to meet the requirements of the program. These include professional conduct during all virtual and/or in-person instructional hours as well as Wildlife Center duties and Outreach involvement. The program is designed as an award system providing you with incentives to excel in your studies.

Because of the nature of the field of Zookeeping, there is a great deal of emphasis placed on safety. All safety rules must be strictly observed. While the Wildlife Academy is home to some of the most beautiful creatures on earth, the animals at the Wildlife Center are also the most dangerous. A careless act could result in the serious injury or death to a human or an animal.

A student violating safety procedures and regulations, who fails to make satisfactory progress, interferes with other students’ work, is insubordinate, boisterous, vulgar or obscene, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or does not make timely tuition payments is subject to immediate termination from the program.

​Any student willfully causing harm to, or threatening to cause harm to any animal at the Wildlife Center will be immediately dismissed from the program and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.


Nothing in the policy prevents the student from contacting the Workforce Board at 360-709-4600 at any time with a concern or complaint.
