Get ready for a feline adventure with the Wild Cat Experience at Hoo Zoo Wildlife Park near Telford, Shropshire! Kick off your day by helping with the Crazy Cat Breakfast, assisting expert keepers in feeding up to four of the zoo’s stunning wild cat species. Hoo Zoo is home to incredible cats including the agile Serval, fierce Bobcat, majestic Eurasian Lynx, mysterious Jungle Cat, tiny but fearless Rusty-Spotted Cat, and the powerful Caracal. Each has its own unique personality, making them the wilder cousins of our beloved domestic cats! Under the guidance of experienced keepers, you’ll get the chance to tong-feed these magnificent predators safely through a fence, while learning fascinating insights into their behaviour, diet, and natural habitats. Your dedicated keeper will be with you throughout, ensuring a safe and memorable experience for both you and the cats. With group sizes limited to just four, you will enjoy plenty of personal interaction, hands-on feeding, and incredible photo opportunities. After your Crazy Cat Breakfast, you’re free to explore the rest of the park, discovering more amazing animals and making a full day of wildlife fun. This rare experience offers a unique chance to get up close with some of the most beautiful and fascinating wild cats—far beyond the usual cat flap!
