My Nonprofit Reviews

The International Exotic Animal Sanctuary is an amazing facility and I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend the last five months working in such a fantastic place. This place really has been a dream come true to me. I arrived at the sanctuary not knowing much about animal care and enrichment especially with regard to large carnivores. Within the first few days not only did I quickly learn the names and personalities of our 55 exotic cats and our 14 bears but I also learned quickly how much the staff of IEAS cares about the well-being of these animals. Everything we do here is to ensure that our cats and bears live a comfortable and stress-free life. The majority of our animals have come to IEAS abused, neglected, and afraid. The staff works extremely hard to ensure that these animals are given a better life. I have learned so much while working here. You learn and experience so much more here than you do in a typical zoo or other animal organization and these skills will greatly help me in my future career. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of not only helping so many wonderful animals but also working alongside and learning so much from our experienced keepers.
