Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide a safe, loving, forever home for endangered big cats, and to educate the public about their plight in the wild and captivity. Our primary focus is in the rescue of cats from serious situations. Once an animal is taken in at Catty Shack Ranch, they have a home for life. We do not breed, sell, or trade any of our animals. Our current residents include tigers, lions, cougars, leopards, bobcats, foxes, and coatimundis (the last two species are "honorary cats").

We offer guided educational daytime tours and night feeding tours, both allowing visitors to view all 40+ of our residents. Daytime tours are a great way to see our residents relaxing and enjoying the sun, while night feeding tours are a one-of-a-kind experience to see over 500 pounds of meat distributed throughout our facility. Children and adults of all ages are welcome to join us for any of our public tours! We are only open on select days, so please check our website for the most up-to-date information.
