This gentleman (Simba) was locked up and had to be slowly introduced into a pen larger than 4'x8'.
The place does not buy or sell the animals, and runs solely on donations. The "Guide" who is the first person they pull off work detail, was very accommodating. I do not remember all the details, however, they have around 217 cats, only 100 can be viewed by the public.
While the staff is very friendly, and willing to assist the public, they let you know before you get in that attempting to touch an animal you will be asked to leave. They said it very politely, but I believe that I caught the undertone that had I tried, I would have been thrown out hard and fast.
For comfort, I wore my hiking Keens, so no socks. I was also put out that not one person asked or said anything about my wearing a kilt. (not really)
