NTCR has been a part of my life for a little over a year now, and it has been a life changing experience. I love knowing that I can help the kitties who are homeless and alone in shelters. The team at NTCR is great!!!! So many wonderful people who have become my friends! I'm so grateful to be a part of something so special!

I came to In Sync for the first time after being told by volunteer Wayne Washburn about the big cat birthday bash. As a volunteer for the North Texas Cat Rescue for over a year now, I am already a HUGE fan of animals! However, big cats like those at In Sync have always facinated me. Once I arrived at In Sync, I was amazed with how close you felt you could get to the cats, while being safe behind two separate sections of sturdy fencing. The cats look happy, relaxed, and healthy. I was so excited about my visit that I brought my mom for a visit when she came to Dallas from California last week. When we came, cougar "Kane" I believe his name is, was just rescued from Poetry, Texas, and was resting in the cool visitor's center. My eyes filled with tears as I was told by one of the volunteers that she didn't think he was going to make it the week before, as he was so weak he could barely raise his head. I knew then that I wanted to volunteer my time and what little extra money I have (school teacher salary doesn't go far!) to the rescue. I have since filled out a volunteer application and am going to visit with Chemyn next Saturday for an interview to join the volunteer staff! I couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of such an amazing sanctuary! It is sad that these type of facilities must exist, but since they must, I want to help! Thank you In Sync staff for all that you do, and I hope to be a part of the team soon! I will also be walking in the Tiger Trot in September for sure!
