Review for In-Sync Exotics, Inc., Wylie, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

By far the most caring sanctuary I have seen. I’ve spent 8 months now with In-Sync and still every day it amazes me more. The facility itself is set up brilliantly as to allow volunteers to access enclosures safely without ever having direct contact with the cats. The cats each have a place to call home and a playground area that is shared, everyday at some point each cats gets playground time. Cats are always well fed and happy, you can see it in their faces, they love their human companionship (tigers coming up to you and chuffing, lions with their ooo’s). It truly is amazing what owner Vicky has achieved with them and this place bein g completely unselfish and only ever has the cats best interest in mind.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

In the time that I have been at In-Sync we have rescued & given home to 2 bobcats, a tiger cub, an older male lion, 4 cougars and 4 lions. Successfully have released a bobcat to the wild, cured the tiger cub of ringworm, and also cared for over a month and placed 20 cats from abandoned and mistreated conditions. Luckily I was given the opportunity to assist with some of these rescues and to see these mistreated cats now is definitely been a happy ending all thanks to the wonderful work at In-Sync.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Rid them of their financial worries. Unfortunately it cost a lot to feed over 60 big cats and build new enclosures, while maintaining older enclosures and stacking up veterinary bills.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely

For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

Very Well

Would you recommend this group to a friend?

Definitely

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)

It effects me greatly, I've never been happier than the time I spend at In-sync. It changed my attitude about life and has given me the skills I need to continue down my career path of wanting to work with wild animals.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

Happy, truly happy.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
