WILD FELID ADVOCACY CENTER



Animal health officials confirmed the presence of bird flu (HPAI) in some of our felids in December of 2024. This is a viral infection that is carried by wild birds and is spread primarily through respiratory secretions and bird to bird contact. Our facility is currently under quarantine and will remain closed to the public until the quarantine is lifted. We are working with federal and state animal health, and county public health officials to ensure that our staff, volunteers, and all animals are monitored closely.

We expect visits to be available again in the New Year.

Additional information will be provided as it is available.

"If you talk to the animals, they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys."
