Captive Wildlife Crisis – Beyond Tiger King

Find out the truth about the captive wildlife crisis and what really happened to the tigers you saw in Tiger King! The Wildcat Sanctuary (TWS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue sanctuary located in Sandstone, MN. Funded solely by private donations, the sanctuary provides a natural sanctuary to wild cats in need and inspires change to end the wildlife crisis. Our Mission is to provide a natural sanctuary to wild cats in need and inspire change to end the captive wildlife crisis. Combining natural and spacious habitats with a life free of exhibition, TWS allows all residents to live wild at heart. Each cat has the opportunity, often for the first time in their lives, to choose a path to walk and a place to lie down. As a true sanctuary, TWS does not breed, buy, sell or exhibit animals. Committed to public education about the captive wildlife crisis, TWS seeks to create a world where animal sanctuaries are no longer needed. The sanctuary is not open to the public in order to assure true peace and tranquility for the cats.

Jeanna Hensler, Wildcat Sanctuary, is the Donor Services Manager and has been with TWS since 2007. In her role, she helps with fundraising, event planning and mission education.
