We are caretakers caring for animals that speak in other languages. But to be able to understand and put a team together that work together for a good outcome is what we thrive for.
Thanks to Dr Neihaus and his team working after hours! Dr Stuart putting everything together and laid out! Ultrasound,new anesthesia unit & all the surgery preparation!
What we are able to do is because of your Visit, Donations & volunteering !

This is our new anesthesia machine! We are so happy to have this upgraded piece of equipment that will allow us to give better care to our animals. Your donations made this possible.

Amara and Adrian want to tell you about our wish list items of the week: Cleaning Supplies!

Our biggest need this week is Dawn dish soap. These animals eat a lot and that means a LOT of dirty dishes. We found that Dawn is the best at cleaning all our dishes. We are on our last bottle now and need your help to keep our animal dishes as clean as they can be.

We use towels and rags to clean so many things around the sanctuary, and we need laundry detergent to clean those towels and rags. We are running low on laundry detergent and would love your help getting us more.

If you are planning a visit, consider buying some dish soap or laundry detergent and dropping it off when you arrive. That would be a huge help. We appreciate every donation and how well you spread the word to your friends. Thank you for all you do to help us give these animals the best life.

Voting for this year's top places to take kids in Jacksonville, Florida, continues! Please take a moment to complete the survey so Catty Shack Ranch remains one of Kids Out and About's top places for kids to visit.

There is one main Top 20 category. The survey asks voters to choose their top three places to take kids for the Top 20 category (that's where you will see Catty Shack Ranch listed), and optionally they can write in places in different specific categories. Add Catty Shack Ranch there too if the category applies to us.

Respondents are also asked some demographic information and how active they are on various social media platforms.

The survey continues until June 20. You can vote ONCE PER DEVICE during the survey. So make sure to vote for us on your phone, laptop, desktop, and tablet. And tag your friends or send this to them so they have an opportunity to vote for us as well.

Thank you for your help in this, and for all the support you have shown to Catty Shack Ranch. Please let us know if you have specific questions or concerns. Have a safe and enjoyable week.

The survey and voting can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KOAASurvey2026

Thank you to the Frost family for visiting a couple months ago, and to Ean for painting and sharing this wonderful picture of Leo! We love to see your creativity, and I can guess who your favorite is...

It is fun to see these come through by message or email from our visitors. We cannot promise to share them all, but we will share what we can. Be safe, everyone, and enjoy your next visit during day tours, enrichment tours, or a night feeding.

Here is Adrian enjoying one of the new pool toys we ordered from Wildlife Toy Box and gave out on Mother’s Day. This is the smaller cylinder toy which is the perfect size for her pool. She had so much fun and we are happy visitors were able to watch.

We hope you enjoy your Mother’s Day as much as Grumbles enjoys his enrichment brush. Moms get in free on Mother’s Day with another paid ticket! Come watch us hand out toys and treats while watching all of our animals. Have a great day and be kind.
