It Was A Quiet Week at In-Sync Exotics!

What a quiet week this has been for us!  For the first time in a while, we have been able to catch our collective breathes, and perform routine animal preventative  health care.

We started the week with a short presentation of our animals enjoying their enrichment!  Enrichment at our sanctuary encompasses a variety of activities where objects, sounds and/or scents are used to encourage the natural behaviors of the animals under our care. Our animals love their enrichment!  And we love that enrichment provides mental and physical stimulation which enhances the health and well-being of our animals.

On Tuesday we happily announced Merial Pharmaceuticals stepped in and help us with a donation of $1,000 towards our vaccination program.  Thank you Merial for your generosity!

We'd also like to thank everyone who has thus far participated in our “Help Big Cats Receive Their Annual Vaccinations!” Razoo project; so far, we have raised $540! That leaves us with about $485 left towards our goal of $1025.  We pray we can reach our goal within the next 19 days!

We spent so much time covering our larger felines that it was time to introduce our lynxes to our readers. So, on Wednesday, we shared with you our 4-Legged, 2-Eared, and 1-Eyed lynx named Trooper, and his cagemates, Duchess and Tobias. 

Our lynxes are very special animals, each coming from unique backgrounds, forming a tight-knit bond with one another.  If you haven’t seen Trooper, Duchess, or Tobias, you just have to come out to our sanctuary to say “hello!”  

On Thursday, the blog writer shamelessly took a day off from writing, but not without leaving a few humorous Calvin & Hobbs cartoons for our faithful readers’ pleasure plus a homework assignment!  We are working on a story titled "Cat Naps" and we would love our audience to participate in this blog posting.  Send us your favorite photo(s) of your cat sleeping with a catchy caption to our animal email box so we can include the photo(s) in our Tuesday blog.  We received quite a few photos of adorable sleeping cats (with captions), but our “Cat Nap” show would not be complete without YOUR sleeping beauty’s picture to compliment the presentation.  Deadline to submit your photo(s) is this Sunday at 12:00pm CST.  Thank you!
