Join us on a trip to the Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary whose mission is to provide a safe, loving, forever home for endangered big cats, and to educate the public about their plight in the wild and captivity. Their primary focus is in the rescue of cats from serious situations. Once an animal is taken in at Catty Shack Ranch, they have a loving, forever home for life. Our current residents include tigers, lions, cougars, leopards, bobcats, arctic foxes, and coatimundis (the last two are “honorary cats”). Meet in Hacker Arcade (Amelia Foyer) at 1:00 pm to take the shuttle to The Catty Shack Ranch.
