You Can Help

In a perfect world, places like The Wildcat Sanctuary would not be necessary. Some wildcats are victims of abuse, neglect and ignorance. Other have been cared for and loved, but due to their wild nature are surrendered when they do not act like a “pet.” It has been said many times that “you can’t save them all,” but we can certainly make a difference in the lives of the cats that we do encounter.

Animal neglect and abuse draws media attention, but what happens after the headlines fade? Rescued wildcats still need ongoing care to thrive and live a happy, healthy life. We want to provide these animals with the best care possible and allow them to live their lives as close to nature as possible. There are many ways you can help us make a difference.

Your donations are tax-deductible.

All of our programs can be purchased by mailing a check to:

The Wildcat Sanctuary
PO Box 314
Sandstone, MN 55072

or on-line via credit card.
