My Nonprofit Reviews

WildCat Ridge Sanctuary is a sanctuary for captive born wildcats that were made by breeders and primarily sold as pets to private owners. When I first volunteered in 2007 I was impressed that the focus of all the volunteers was the well being of the cats (and this was before I was able to meet the cats). The cofounders (Cheryl and Mike Tuller) have worked tirelessly to create a natural habitat and best possible life for these cats. I have personally seen cats arrive that are thin from malnutrition, skittish, and nervous - then after a few weeks I will see them filled out and relaxed. I have always admired that the Tullers made the decision early on not to open the sanctuary to the public. Too many times in zoos I have seen cats pacing and clearly stressed - not at WildCat Ridge. The cats are relaxed and often doing what cats do best - snoozing or playing. If you want to support a true sanctuary where cats are not exploited - this is the place. I have been volunteering for Cheryl Tuller for 10+ years now and can honestly say that its the best non-profit I have worked at.
