Animal Care Fund



The animals who reside at WFAC require a large amount of funding to cover routine expenses, such as food, vitamins, bedding, habitat construction, and habitat maintenance. The ongoing development and procurement of items to augment their living space is also considered routine. The Animal Care Fund supports the basic needs, including comfort, of the wild cats at WFAC.



Veterinary FUnd



About 30% of our feline residents are geriatric (age 15+), and many require special diets, medicines, and/or veterinary visits to manage chronic conditions. Some cats arrive in need of medical procedures or diagnosis, which can be costly. The Veterinary Fund supports the resident's varied health care needs, including veterinary visits, lab work, medications, special diets, and special habitat needs.



Enrichment fund



Behavioral and Environmental Enrichment is a priority at WFAC. Each cat's preferences are recorded in a database to help maintain a successful enrichment program. Some cat's preferences are inexpensive, while some are costly. For example Kiki (Eurasian Lynx) prefers black pepper for sensory enrichment, while Tabbi and Suri (Tigers) prefer a swimming pool. The Enrichment Fund supports giving the cats what they need to thrive.


CUrrent Special PRojects



We are always improving habitats, and we are currently making repairs to enclosures that were damaged by a large snowstorm in February. Our main projects for 2019 and beyond include:

  • Completion of repairs from the snowstorm.
  • An expansion to Durango's habitat, a cougar who arrived in 2017.
  • A new and improved tiger pool for Tabbi and Suri.
