Welcome to Exotic Cat Refuge and Wildlife Orphanage!
Join our Journey to Rehabilitation... Together we can make a difference
The Exotic Cat Refuge is a Rescue Habitat and Sanctuary for endangered, abandoned, and often abused animals. We are a non-releasable facility that provides a safe, nurturing, loving home for these amazing creatures. With more than 28 years of experience, our outreach to rescue animals has extended into many species including feral cats, owls, deer, monkeys, donkeys, horses, and exotic cats. Without your support and help, these very important rescues and work will not continue.
Our primary focus is the safety and welfare of all animals. We serve as their advocate against animal cruelty and their right to a pain free and safe natural environment, so they can consume their natural diet and have the oppurtunity to bond and grow with their cohabitants.
The Refuge was honored with the Award of Excellence from Mutual of Omaha for our hands-on work with the animals and our drive to preserve the natural world. Many sanctuaries have been forced to close due to the lack of economic support. Please don't let another door close. You can truly make a difference and together we can make a significant impact... one step at a time.
The Exotic Cat Refuge and Wildlife Orphanage is a 501-C3 Non Profit Organization and a Sanctuary for life. We do not breed, sell, trade nor do we employ our animals for entertainment.
Many of the animals we receive have been rescued by legal officials from deplorable, vile, exploited, and abusive conditions. They arrive starved, beaten, and broken. Many are maimed for life with little or no hope for rehabilitation. 80% of all Great Cats received have had their claws removed, which leads to years of paw pad tenderness and tremendous pain from the simple act of walking. 40% of the animals will have irreversible arthritis from being kept in small cages where they were unable to stretch or change positions. Another 20% will have had their kill teeth removed, which significantly increases their risk of carcinoma.
The Refuge takes a very strong and passionate stand against animal cruelty and we continuously move toward improving awareness through public education, tours, and newsletters. Our hope is that that some day illegal breeding, trading, and buying of these majestic animals will be completely eliminated.
Won't you please join us in protecting the already affected animals and in our fight to raise public awarness and create a better world for them?
