The Catty Shack

JT and I went Saturday afternoon on a little date to the Catty Shack. Its a sanctuary for BIG cats who were no longer wanted or in need of a better home. It's actually kind of scary to think this sanctuary is only 4 miles behind our house. Ekkkkk
They have lions, tigers, baby tiger cubs that are 4 months old, a Siberian tiger, panthers, cougars and a few more. It was pretty cool to see them all so close and one of the tigers sprayed {luckily not in our direction} and we saw him do that. We had a male lion growl at us! Freaky! So this takes me to our next visit, which will be this Friday night and we will get to see the volunteers feed all of the cats! They said they growl and snarl and make the park come alive! Lets just hope they don't get out and we get eaten!
It was kind of hard to take some of the pictures with double gates to shoot through. But, I did have a few good ones!
What do you want?
This was the guy who growled at us! The lady said he was mistreated and malnourished when they got him. Even the owner doesn't take chances with him. His name was Tal.
One of the little girls. They were so cute and rambunctious! Definitely wouldn't want to get swatted with their paws!
Ready to pounce on her sister.
Seriously could watch them all day. The wild instincts that have already kicked in were amazing!
Poor Jt, I told him to wear shorts! It was so hot, but he insisted on pants!
He had a great time and loved seeing all of the animals! He can NOT wait for Friday! We will let you know how it goes!
Love getting to spend one on one time with him. He so needs it!
