Review for Center for Animal Research and Education Inc, Bridgeport, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I HAVE BEEN VOLUNTEERING AT C.A.R.E. FOR OVER 10 YEARS. AS I LIVE IN NY, I TRY TO GET THERE AT LEAST ONCE AND YEAR. IT HAS BEEN A PRIVLEDGE TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT SO CLOSELY WITH THESE WONDERFUL MAJESTIC ANIMALS. EACH ONE IS TREATED AS A FAMILY MEMBER AND SPECIFIC NEEDS ARE ADDRESSED FOR THEIR CARE AND MEDICAL NEEDS. EVERY LION, TIGER, LEOPARD, COUGAR AND THE SNOW LEOPARD GET HUMAN INTERACTION EVERY DAY. THE STAFF HAS KNOWN A MAJORITY OF THE CATS SINCE THEIR BIRTH AND KNOW THEIR INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES, WHICH, YES, ARE A VARIED AS HUMANS. IF THEY DON'T GET ALONG WITH OTHERS, THEY CAN LIVE ALONE. IF THEY DON'T LIKE A CERTAIN ENCLOSURE, THEY ARE MOVED TO ANOTHER. THE STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS MAKE CERTAIN EACH CAT RECEIVES LIFE ENRICHMENT THROUGH ACTIVITIES AND TOYS. AS FOR THE CARE AND CLEANLINESS OF THE FACILITY, IT IS OUTSTANDING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PLACE WITH SO MANY BIG ANIMALS MAINTAIN SUCH CLEANLINESS. AS FOR ME, VOLUNTEERING AT C.A.R.E HAS BEEN A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE AND I TRULY MISS EACH AND EVERY CAT WHEN I AM AWAY. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP C.A.R.E KEEP THE GOOD WORK THAT IS DONE HERE GOING. HEIDI, DEREK AND THE KIDS HAVE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO C.A.R.E. AND THIS IS TRULY GOD'S WORK THEY ARE DOING HERE!!
