WildCat Haven decided to shed its old name and elected to embrace a "New Beginning" on September 27, 2015
All the old multimedia links for WCH has disappeared to include all the videos of Mac and Shirley.
I imagine the same directors running this sanctuary wished their bad press and soiled reputation would disappear too.
I was happy to see Shirley, Carrie and Sebastian on the new web page. And I was pleased that WildCat Haven, I mean Wildcat Ridge, told the truth about the WAO management.
About Shirley:
Shirley, a tiger, came from Wild Animal Orphanage in Texas. Due to previous corrupt management, the facility could no longer afford to care for the animals and had to close down. There were over 400 animals that needed to find new homes. Shirley and her brother, Mac, were two of over 70 big cats that needed placement. With 55 tigers alone that needed sanctuary, we knew that we had to help.
Shirley and Mac arrived at WildCat Ridge on October 10, 2010. Shirley came to us in relatively good health, although she had a bite wound on her front paw. Shirley and Mac shared a huge enclosure, complete with perches, logs, trees, and lots of space to run and play! Sadly we lost Mac to cancer in 2013 despite doing all we could. Like all of us, Shirley misses having her brother around. But we are still thrilled to be able to provide her with a true lifetime home.

About Carrie:
Carrie, a caracal, came from Wild Animal Orphanage in Texas. Due to poor management and dishonest directors, the facility was shut down. We were contacted to see if we could make room for their small cats.
Carrie and Sebastian, a serval, arrived via Alaska Airlines and made the trip unscathed. They both came out of their crates like they had lived here their whole lives. Both cats came infested with fleas but seemed relatively healthy other than that. Carrie is a crazy little girl, romping and playing, and just living life to the fullest! We found that Carrie is allergic to hay and straw, so she has to have blankets as bedding. But she loves them, pulling them out of the dens, tossing them around and just having a great time. She has so much character and has made us all fall in love.

About Sebastian:
Sebastian, an African Serval, came from Wild Animal Orphanage in Texas when they decided to close down and find new homes for the animals. He and Carrie, a caracal, arrived infested with fleas but seemed otherwise relatively healthy.
Originally, we were told that Sebastian was not very friendly. But we have found him to be the most social serval we have ever met! He is such a fun boy, chirping, wiggling his tail, playing with toys, and always smiling.

I wonder, can a sanctuary change its spots?
