Inspections are a "snapshot" in time and do not always reflect the day-to-day operations and overall condition of an establishment.

This Louisiana Cat Sanctuary Once Sheltered Tigers And Now Helps Dozens Of Rescued House Cats

Volunteers once built a big pool for two tigers named Samson and Delilah. Today, the same rescue group spends its days caring for house cats who need a forever home.
