This place was great. An all volunteer force giving tours and feeding the animals here is great. You can really tell how much they love this place and they make it contagious for you. Go here at night and watch them feed the animals, it was amazing!

They charge $15 to get in, but it all goes to help feed the animals and keep the place going. Seeing as they go through about 500lbs of meat a day they need all the help they can get.

I have been to Catty Shack Ranch 3 times now and I daughter loves it! Last night was my first night feeding and I would go every day if I could. I staff was amazing, always taking time to answer all questions and the Cats are out of this world!

I can't believe I have lived in Jacksonville for quite some time and never knew about this hidden treasure!! It was so amazing and such an incredible experience to see the animals so active at night, roaring and getting so excited over feeding time. I was surprised at their display of primal behavior...these are definitely not domestic cats! Kudos to the ranch for taking care of all these animals...and with much love! They operate non-profit, no funding, and all are volunteers... Our family highly recommends it....and my daughters already want to adopt/sponsor an animal!

We made the drive up to Jacksonville from Daytona to take in one of the additional tour dates added over the holidays. Even after the early morning rain the tour was a pleasurable experience. The services the sanctuary offers is truly special. Listening to the lions talk between the two areas was a memorable moment. Watching the year old tiger cubs size up my three year old informed me of the importance of the job that the snctuary does because these are not your average house cat. The tour was informative and people care. The cats are well cared for and healthy. It was a memorable part of our trip and I only wish we would have been able to be in the area to take in a night feeding.
