Review for The Wild Animal Sanctuary- Texas (formerly International Exotic Feline Sanctuary, Inc.), Boyd, TX, USA
The international exotic animal sanctuary has taught me so much about working with dangerous animals and has given me the ability to pass along important education and knowledge to daily visitors. I know I have changed a few lives with the numerous tours given to many a school group. I have also learned how much goes into running a sanctuary: including the funding, the care for the animals, the daily maintenance required for upkeep, and many more aspects. I love being able to see our 55 felines and 14 bears every day and creating amazing bonds with as many of the cats that I can, especially Nala and Kuru, our African Lion couple, every night I go and sit on a bench right next to their habitat and they both come right over to say hello. Nothing can beat that!
