Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary

Did someone say “cats”?

If you just can’t get enough of some of nature’s most majestic (and powerful) animals, then the Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary is the place to be. Big cats prowl this sanctuary, under the care of the non-profit organization that aims to provide a safe and loving home for them.


During your visit, you just might get to see a lion yawning, or tigers napping with their bellies up in the air. Be sure to snap pictures when you see the cats basking in the sun, or playing with their toys. Don't be startled if you see a lynx or a leopard pacing in the distance. There are even foxes here! If you want to see these cats in action, go on a night feeding tour. It's bound to be an unforgettable experience. There's no doubt that this is also the perfect chance for children to learn more about endangered animals and protecting these magnificence beasts. And of course, what's the trip without hearing a few awe (and terror)-inspiring roars?
