In-Sync provides cats who were formally without hope with love, hope, and so much more. I visited there for the first time not too long ago, and was amazed to see how content and happy the cats all seem. They are provided with all the play, love, food, and general care that they need - and more. Their environments are clean, well-maintained, and tailored to that cat's individual needs. These cats have come from varied backgrounds but most of them involved some level of abuse and/or neglect - how wonderful to have a place to truly call home and feel safe. Like people, animals respond to love and have their own way of recognizing when it is there or when it is not. I am touched by all that In-Sync is doing and wants to do.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
following up after my visit to read all the animals' stories on In-Sync's website, facebook pages, and blog. I feel like I know each of the cats and, in reading the stories of those who have passed away, grieved for them along with the staff of In-Sync. The pure love and devotion felt for these cats is more than apparent when you spend a few hours on any of these sites - if you can't go visit in person. Each and every cat matters and is loved. How wonderful is that?!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
continue to write stories and post pictures across all venues - facebook, blog, website. I won't pretend to be an expert and I only have the best things to say about everything I have seen and observed here, but I would hazard a guess that there are many dreams that they have about things to do in the environments (or to add more environments) so that they could make life even better for their current cats or add more cats in need of rescue.

I am so glad that these cats a safe place to call home now. Each one has his or her own painful but remarkable survival story. People can be so cruel to animals, thank you In Sync for stepping up and giving these magnificent cats a forever home where they are safe, loved and cared for around the clock.

More marketing, so the general public can be better educated about In Sync and what wonderful work they do there. People should be visiting places like In Sync rather than going to zoos.

My family visited InSync for the 2012 Easter Celebration. Being animal lovers, we were thrilled to visit an organization that does so much for desperate and in-need exotics. Assuming we would only see lions and tigers, we were very impressed by the large variety of animals that had been rescued. It was a very memorable day for my family. We look forward to visiting again!

In-Sync Exotics is an amazing group of dedicated individuals who give their all for the good of the big cats they rescue. I am amazed at their hard work and success and I wish I had the time to spend with them helping these beautiful animals. Their facility provides large enclosures with "play areas" for the cats with enrichment activities to keep them active, plus pools for the tigers! They engage the community in learning about their rescue programs thru effective use of social media as well as local publications and mass media. They have special events during the year, such as the Big Cat Birthday Bash and their Annual Easter Egg Hunt which brings out the local families to the sanctuary. The work they have done with local, state and national animal experts is outstanding. In-Sync has made great progress in the area of providing treatment to sick and injured big cats in the least stressful possible way using conditioning techniques. Vickey and her team of volunteers are to be commended for doing such an outstanding job. It makes me proud to say that I support their work.

After hearing about In-Sync from a friend and following their stories on Facebook, I decided it was finally time to go and check things out for myself. So on a recent trip back home to visit family, we all piled in the car and headed out to see the cats. My 2 year old son loves the zoo, and he loved In-Sync. The animals are so much closer, and it feels like you can really get to see them in their world. It was such a wonderful experience. Also, from Facebook, I constantly read about the new animals they get, and the pictures of where they come from. It is beyond words for what In-Sync does for these animals. The people of In-Sync offer these cats a new life, and they are the definition of GREAT!

We love taking visitors to In-Sync when they come to N. Texas to visit us. The staff and volunteers are truly dedicated to the cause of rescuing and caring for the beautiful animals in their care. Our daughter already has plans to volunteer there when she is old enough, and I am taking a group of co-teachers there as a fellowship this Fall. One of my prayers is that many, many more people will visit this remarkable place and donate their time and money to help keep In-Sync running.

I actually heard about In-Sync Exotics from my massage therapist in 09 who used to live down the street from there and have been going ever since. It's the most wonderful place ever. Watching what the cats come there as and watching them get healthily is amazing! I can walk around there for hours and it's 100 times better than a zoo because you can get so close to them. I have brought many people to visit as well but I also enjoy going by myself so I can spend more time observing the cats. When the owner Vicki talks from so far away you can just see the cats ears perk up and they get so excited. I'm so thankful for Vicki & her husband and all the staff to give these cats a second chance and such a wonderful life.

I've taken my family to visit the In-Sync Exotic wildlife educational center and they were so amazed at how well the animals are taken care of.
The Love and attention that these animals receive from the staff is amazing. I've seen many post on facebook with wonderful support coming from the community. It's a wonderful thing that this group is able to rescue these beautiful animals from a place with such deplorable conditions and bring them to In-Sync to be not only feed and cleaned, but Loved. Their hearts are truly for these beautiful creatures.
The education that In-Sync is teaching our society on having compassion and respect for them is very much needed.

I think that they are doing the best they can with what they have. Much help is needed with finances.
