Hi, never heard of feeding the cats; over 30 years that I have been to the orphange and since the time Safari Walk was started. You can take a picture with the cats, at least you could 10 years ago at the orphanage. Though I think they have become quite strict now. So this would be unlikely as well. Doesn't matter if you are a resident or non-resident. Wildlife Animal protection laws are now enforced. If you are looking for a picture and to touch the cats, i suggest going to Thailand. They have a Tiger zone in Phuket. Its well marketed. Its quite sad though that these animals are treated that way including the cubs. One would think its a petting farm. If you want Wildlife...Kenya is the place. If you want tame cats to pet... then one of the Asian countries would be best. We are doing our best in Kenya to protect the natural way of life for these animals. So even in the Safari Walk and animal orphanage, human contact is limited. Sorry this isn't the answer you were looking for. However, i wouldn't want to spoil your travel if you are expecting more, another country maybe more suitable and more to your liking.

It was $25 US for non residents. I don't know how much for locals. The plus side is they know the non-locals and do special things like let you feed the animals. . . for a tip of course. That part is worth it.
