Review for The Wild Animal Sanctuary- Texas (formerly International Exotic Feline Sanctuary, Inc.), Boyd, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am an Intern at the International Exotic Animal Sanctuary, precisely, an animal care intern going on my 3rd and final month. The experience I have received from this amazing haven can never be compared to any other. With 65 exotic animals including tigers, lions, and bears, each day I come to work is unique and educational. Tours are given every day, 7 days a week, allowing the public to be able to enjoy the Sanctuary's educational information and providing an uplifting atmosphere for our exotic residents and for you. Our Emotional Enrichment Program helps our felines and bears to live out the rest of their lives with serenity and a little fun. We have toys from pickles to fire-hose balls to enlighten the cat’s lives. The sanctuary’s habitats provide the environment each species need to be comfortable, happy, and enriched. Our tiger’s pools keep them cooled off during the hottest part of the summer; each cat has his/her own house allowing privacy and protection from the harsh weather of Texas. Put the International Exotic Sanctuary on the top of your Bucket List.

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

I have learned feeding, cleaning, animal health, animal management, behavioral studies, chemical immobilization, record keeping, assisting in construction and habitat modification, tours and related activities for the Sanctuary's 65 residents.

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