More than 80 rescued cats are fortunate
to call The Wildcat Sanctuary home. Each cat we rescue
is considered an accomplishment, but the hard work is
far from over. For those that come with physical wounds
from abuse and neglect, the healing begins immediately.
For those with emotional wounds, the road to recovery
is a much longer one.
Just
like people, animals become comfortable with the familiar,
no matter how unpleasant it may be. Although Lilly, a
Bengal tiger, spent years starving in a tiny, filthy cage,
she finds comfort in Titan, a tiger who shared that life
with her.
Sydney
and Shay, two lynx, came to TWS with a huge burden to
bear. They survived abuse that caused broken jaws in both
cats, making them mistrust humans. Sydney also carried
the responsibility of being Shay’s protector. With
time and patience, Sydney learned to trust us and continues
to be the bridge between Shay’s continued timid-ness
toward people.
