Review for The Wildcat Sanctuary, Sandstone, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a former volunteer and mentee of Tammy Thies. I volunteered when TWS was much smaller and i've seen it grow. When I was there it was amazing to see the life a creature change, from being protective of a bowl of dirty water to become a healthy and lively animal that is accepting of compassion, as they should be. While I would love to see TWS get smaller (because there ultimately isn't a need for it due to people not purchasing and buying illegal animals) it has grown, to what I feel as, a national scale in awareness and rescues. The dedication and heart that Tammy and her staff and interns put into the TWS says a lot about the organization as a whole. Everytime I would go, I always felt that the volunteers there were passionate about being compassionate and doing even the dirtiest of jobs to make the life a wildcat, that never experience the wild, better. Education is the key to success and TWS is all about it and does an amazing job of it.

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

Buy cars to keep in the cities for volunteers to have easier access to TWS as most volunteers do so because they are unable to donote.
