I was wondering why this organization didn't have 5 stars. Then I saw the 1 star review and, of course, it is just full of ignorance. They don't have hands on experience with the animals aside from medical care. They don't condone people keeping them at home and/or in cages where they don't receive the proper care and space they need, or lack of human interaction. They feed them in feeding spaces, where they do leave the food for them. I believe they also use special tools to feed them without in turn becoming part of their meal. It may not be completely natural, but it's probably the closest they can get. They don't touch the animals (again, aside from necessary medical reasons). Many of their big cats are rescues that would be unfit to be released into the wild because they didn't grow up and live in it. Letting them go would just end up in their deaths more than likely. That's how it is for pretty much any animal. Unfortunately, big cats and other exotic animals are better off in captivity with organizations like Wildcat Sanctuary because of poaching, hunting and other cruel practices.
I have been involved with TWS for many years now, and I have never experienced such dedication and absolute love for what these outstanding people do each and everyday. This job that they have taken on is 365 / 24. They do so much for the animals who have to trust us to do the right thing for them. My husband and I have grown very found of Tammy and all the staff at TWS and are very proud of all for the selfless time and effort they put into running this amazing place these animals call home. It really is a Sanctuary for the cats of all sizes. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about TWS!
Wildcat Sanctuary, keep doing what you're doing! I fully support you guys! ❤️
Great care, wonderful outside areas for cats to be cats. Been there many times, wish I could donate more.
I've been on two volunteer work weekends and have attended several fundraisers for TWS. I am incredibly amazed and proud that we have this kind of gem in our state! What a labor of love, care, dedication and duty to promoting animal welfare! The nutrition, habitat, medical care, temperament and history of EVERY cat is known and documented so that they receive optimal care and comfort. These folks and Tammy their fearless leader are saints on earth. The long days of labor and volunteer help I've been privileged to donate have been incredible. Lucky us and lucky cats...Three cheers for The Wildcat Sanctuary and their mission!
