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.
