A Sacred Shelter of Refuge and Safety

My wife and I proudly support the WildCat Haven Sanctuary, wearing their T-shirts, displaying their calendars, and posting pictures of the magnificent cats. They ceaselessly care for these rescued animals, abandoned or relinquished by their owners, who bought them legally or illegally as cubs, and soon came to realize that these are NOT house pets.

The Sanctuary has suffered a terrible tragedy and a tremendous loss, and it is not my place to speculate. But we are again reminded that these are powerful and dangerous animals, and that the people who care for them, do so at great personal risk.

Our hearts are heavy today. Prayers to all the people and animals affected by this horrible incident, and hope that they can continue to care for these majestic felines!

"WildCat Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill, ‘last hope’ sanctuary located in beautiful Sherwood, Oregon. Our mission is to provide a safe, natural lifetime home for captive-born wildcats in need. Earning verification and accreditation from both The Global Federation of American Sanctuaries (GFAS) and The American Sanctuary Association (ASA) WildCat Haven is not open to the public; nor do we buy, sell, breed or exhibit our animals. It’s a philosophy we believe in and stand by for the safety and well being of the wildcats. We are not a zoo for people but a safe haven for the animals in our care. Our rescues depend on us to provide for them. They trust we will keep them safe, comfortable, healthy and free from the pain and suffering they have experienced. And we are committed to fulfilling that trust every day. WCH Sanctuary receives no state or federal funding relying on fund-raising, and our generous donors and sponsors." WCH Mission Statement
