Interacting with the animals

The Alice Sanctuary tours are interactive, allowing you the chance to meet the residents up-close, but it is not a petting zoo.

The Alice Sanctuary is a safe and secure space for our residents and all interaction is done at their discretion. This is their home, and we are welcoming visitors into it.

Many of them love to be pet or scratched but please keep in mind that interactions with them are always on their terms.

We never force our residents to interact with guests.

PLEASE NOTE:
TAS and staff reserves the right to remove persons immediately if displaying inappropriate behaviour, not listening to our guides, being a disturbance to our residents and/or other attendees. We welcome conversations, we are a safe and inclusive space to all.

We do not accept mean, rude, racially charged, transphobic/homophobic/queer phobic, or hateful language of any kind that offends or harms our residents, attendees, volunteers and our founder.

Our founder and TAS have a ZERO tolerance for abusive conduct and your dismissal WILL BE IMMEDIATE.
