A nonprofit rescue sanctuary for exploited, aging, and illegally-owned wild cats
The Wildcat Sanctuary (TWS) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue sanctuary located in Sandstone, Minnesota, providing lifelong care for exploited, aging, and illegally-owned wild cats in large, natural habitats. The sanctuary houses 150+ cats and is funded entirely by private donations.
