Review for International Exotic Feline Sanctuary Inc, Boyd, TX, USA
IEAS is truly an amazing place. I went on a tour about six years ago to find out about the facility, and was very impressed with the sanctuary, so I started volunteering. The animals are ALWAYS put first. Everything that is done by the keepers, interns, volunteers, donors, etc., is for the total benefit of the animals. Volunteering at IEAS has been the experience of a lifetime. Over the years, you get to know each cat and bear and their personalities. The Nutrition Center is where everything happens. The diets of the animals are prepared there. The cats and bears are monitored on a daily basis regarding their diets, i.e., how much meat they are leaving, eating, etc. The intern program is outstanding. Many interns have gone on to be keepers at many well-known zoos and sanctuaries around the country. They gain invaluable experience during their internship here. I would not trade my experience at the sanctuary for anything. It is truly an honor to be able to volunteer there.
