One of the Jacksonville photography groups coordinated a photo shoot at the Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jacksonville, Florida. It’s a non-profit group that dedicates their amazing time and effort to taking care of big cats like lions, tigers and cougars. According to their site,
We provide sanctuary to cats confiscated by the state for illegal ownership, improper enclosures or maltreatment. We also educate the public to discourage illegal, private ownership. Wild animals, especially big cats, do not make good pets.
I wish I could have gotten up close and personal with these beautiful animals but it was still neat getting to interact with them through the nice, safe fences. In this picture, you will find Sarah, who was quite playful. Here, she rests after playing with a volunteer. It’s $10 per person to see this cats– and it’s worth a trip out towards the airport. Kids would really love it.
Authors bio is coming up shortly.
