State and national parks can be amazing places to visit with your cat! Some are more cat-friendly than others though, while some don’t allow pets at all. For these reasons, it’s important to look into the pet policies and rules of each individual park before visiting.

Did you know that some National Parks have a BARK Ranger Program, through which your pet can earn a pin or badge? More and more national parks are beginning to recognize cats as well, so hopefully it won’t be too long before we see the MEOW Ranger Program!

In this episode of the KittyCatGO Adventure Podcast, I chat with Terri Lukens-Gable about visiting state and national parks, the development of the MEOW Ranger Program, and geocaching with your cat. Take a listen to learn more about the amazing places you can visit with your cat around the United States.

What I threw out to Harper’s Ferry National Historic Site was, ‘You seem game to having MEOW Ranger, maybe we could have M-E-O-W, and instead of the B-A-R-K, M is must bag your pet’s waste and take it to the nearest trash can. E is every pet must be leashed. O, observe wildlife with respect. W, wisdom of rules and where you may go.’
