Deck the Halls at In-Sync Exotics!

Deck the halls at In-Sync Exotics,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Treat the cats with fun enrichment,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Let them play with bags of leaves.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the excitement on their faces,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
When you give them a couple of decorated boxes
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Join in merry sounds of laughter
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While we try to move the red barrels.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don’t forget to entertain Twiggy,
(and Nugget)
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new volunteers and interns,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Friends & Family of In-Sync Exotics.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

As promised, here are a few unedited videos of our cats at play during our annual Christmas Party that was held last Saturday, December 8th!

First up, we have "Christmas Presents for Aurora, Eve, and Layla!" for your viewing pleasure!


Next we have Emma, Lucca, & Nadia with their Christmas Presents!  Aaawww...



A Christmas Party would not be complete without our Very Merry Lynxes!



And of course we have to share Lassiter's Christmas Special Gift!



Have you noticed how excited the cats get in the video background as they watch their compadres receive their Christmas presents.  You can also hear them say "What Did Santa Bring the Big Cats for Christmas" this year?



We hope you enjoyed watching a few of our cats playing with their Christmas Presents.  In case you were wondering why this event was not advertised to the public, it was because this is a special volunteer and staff event, where everyone comes together to share happiness and joy with our exotic cats, Nugget, Twiggy, and of course, Katy!

Christmas With The Cats!

Every year our volunteers celebrate Christmas with the cats and each other--and this year was no exception! There were so many great pictures taken at the event, by so many people, that it very difficult to select just a few to show off on this posting.  So, we put together a short  video with lots of adorable pictures so you can see for yourself how our volunteers celebrate 'Christmas with the Cats!'
 
Enjoy!


 
We even have several videos of the event that will be presented in tomorrow's blog posting, so please check back with us for more Christmas fun with our exotic cats!


Christmas With The Cats!

Our Christmas lights were strung with care by our hard working staff and volunteers (and they look gorgeous, if we do say so ourselves!)    The cats are frisky, enjoying the cooler air.  The sweet sounds of lions' roars can be heard everywhere.  The cider and hot chocolate is ready to be enjoyed. Alas, all that's missing from this wonderful event is...well, YOU!

Come on out Friday or Saturday evening for a night time tour you will never forget.  And if you want to make your time with us extra special why not make a VIP Christmas With The Cats Tour reservation today!  For details and a printable flier, please click HERE!

A Special Friend Helps In-Sync Exotics!

Welcome back everyone to another week of In-Sync Exotics news!

As the year comes to a close, and we reflect upon all our accomplishes, challenges, tears, and joys, we are also reminded that In-Sync Exotics would not be possible without YOU.

YOU provide life saving medical care for our exotic animals, horses, and domestic cats.

YOU provide quality species specific meals for all our animals.

YOU provide us the means to build larger habitats for our animals.

YOU volunteer your time and service ensuring our animals having a loving place to call home.

Without YOU, there would be no US.

If you've been following us Twitter, then you know we have a terrific fan from Canada who has been following In-Sync Exotics.  She wanted to volunteer her time with the animals, but she lives too far away.  She wanted to help off-set the costs of food and medicine, but like many people, she cannot donate at this time.  She loves animals so much, she knew she could contribute to our mission in some way, even though she lives in another time zone.  So after some thought, she decided to go through our Facebook and blog pictures, downloaded the photos she like the best, and then organize them in such a way that they told a story that came from her heart.  She contact her friend, Mike Cerveni, who graciously allowed her to use his song for her creation and with the help from the blog mistress (for a little production assistance) a new video was born! 

Kim was inspired by Vicky as she watched the sanctuary's story on Twitter and wanted to help Vicky reach new fans by tweeting this new video to friends and family.  So, without further ado, may I present Kim Puffer's new video titled "Miracles!"


We want to thank Kim and Mike for this wonderful video and song! Kim's words resonates with animal rescuers and caregivers everywhere, as it is hard work to care for the animals under our care, and yes, we do need some help--your help--today...

We realize that not everyone can donate during these hard economic times. But we have to be honest with you, without your contributions, we are unable to order food for the animals at a monthly expense of $14,000,  pay the vet bills, which is about $20,000 at this time, vitamins, minerals, and medicines for our aging population who need a little extra support, enrichment for the animals...well, you get the idea.  

Donations, even as small as $10, gets us closer to us meeting our obligations to the animals.  Your gift, whether it be $10, $50, $100, or more is truly a blessing and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for trusting us with your hard earned dollars.  

This time of year is especially important because your donations help us get through the first quarter of the new year. As a 501(C) (3) sanctuary, all donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. So, if you were waiting to make a special gift to the animals, now would be a terrific time!  To see the various ways you can make a tax-deductive charitable donation, please click HERE.


Don't forget, every dollar the 2012 Christmas Bake Sale raises this year, results in an automatic matching, dollar for dollar.  So if you cannot make it to the bake sale and would like to make a donation and see your donation automatically double, please mail a check or money order, made out to In-Sync Exotics, to: 

Corby Bryant
 c/o Venable Royalty, Ltd
5910 North Central Expressway

Dallas, Texas, 75206

Please email Corby Bryant (click HERE for email address) with any questions you may have regarding the upcoming Bake Sale!

There are so many ways to help support the animals, as Kim pointed out in the video, so we hope you will select one that you like the best, including our Razoo project "Big Cats Need Dental Too!"  So far we raised enough money to give one big cat the dental surgery he needs.  We still have four more cats that need your help!  Perhaps this is the cause for you!  To make a donation towards the "Big Cats Need Dental Too, click HERE!

We invite you to join us on Twitter as we will be discussing the video with our friends.  We hope you will share this posting with your friends and family, letting them know that there are so many ways to help our animals--so many ways to make a difference in their lives--that we are confident that we will be successful.

Yes, miracles can come true, all thanks to you!
