I went there for a visit on a night time feeding. It was a neat concept. They have to feed the…read moreanimals anyways, so why not invite people to educate and raise money for the sanctuary. The animals seem well taken care of and happy. The have mostly tigers but also a lion and some smaller cats. They even have two foxes and two bears! This is different than a zoo, because they have these animals as a way to save them. Some of them were from private owners and some were form closed zoos. The workers and volunteers were all happy as well.

You've never been to a place like this before... and at first, I wasn't even sure what to expect…read more The sign outside is nicely done, but when you walk in, the tables and chairs look like they're 50 years old... clean and organized, but the area clearly needs an upgrade. But that's actually the point... every dollar this nonprofit earns goes directly to animal care, facilities, and expansion. Nothing is wasted on appearances. And that mindset defines everything about this place. We signed up for a tour and arrived early to walk around a bit on our own. By chance, we ran into Curt Logiudice, the founder and owner of the sanctuary... a remarkable man who has devoted his life to this mission. Hearing him explain how it started, how it's grown, and his vision for the future was inspiring. Watching him interact with the bear they have was priceless... playful, natural, and full of trust. You couldn't tell who was enjoying it more... Curt or the bear. What they're doing here is truly admirable. Their mission is the rescue of exotic animals from serious and often tragic situations. Once an animal arrives at Catty Shack Ranch, it has a home for life. They do not breed, trade, sell, or buy animals. The sanctuary is home to tigers, a bear, lions, pumas, leopards, lynx, foxes, and coatimundis... all cared for with dignity and respect. The guided tour is absolutely worth it. The staff is knowledgeable, the experience is educational, and you get surprisingly close to the animals while still feeling completely safe. The atmosphere is calm, respectful, and not overcrowded. I noticed families with kids whose eyes were wide with amazement... it's that kind of place. This is privately funded, and even veterinarians volunteer their time to care for animals in need of medical treatment. If you see Curt on the grounds... and you probably will... stop and talk to him. His passion, humility, and genuine love for these animals is unmistakable. Please visit. Please support this place. What they're doing here truly matters. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The place was rather large and full of inventory. The staff was friendly -- even yo the pint of telling us about other thrift stores we should visit. The store is located in a shopping center with lots of parking right out front. Inside there's a lot of merchandise -- all well organized by category. They have furniture as well as all sorts of household items and bric a brac. We found a few things here worth lugging back in the car. They don't have any clothes here, but they have a separate store at the other end of the center, that specializes in clothes. Put this in your thrift store list. It's well worth a stop.

While visiting the area, I went in and bought seven items! That was a big shopping spree for me! The prices are good and it's not too large to be overwhelming. The only problem for me was that they were playing Christian music and one friend who went with us is an older lady who is Jewish, so I worried that this might have been uncomfortable for her. Maybe they will change the policy!

I've made so many purchases and I am so happy with every item. Joe Malone perfume. Massimo Dutti skirt. Two coats for the season. Dresses. Literally new sweaters still on websites. They're exactly what I wanted and 1/4 the price! They ALSO do these amazing lives where you can see what's new and going to the floor that day and snag it before shoppers in store. AND they can ship to you It's really fun. Store is decorated beautifully and it's big and clean and staff is very helpful and make great suggestions. It has a nice nostalgia for me because it's not too city but has the same vibe of a really nice upscale consignment store from downtown but only if it got placed outside of traffic and congestion. Loved having my coffee on the drive because Fernandina is so beautiful. Plus they have discounted tag colors and a website incentives too so I ended up getting coupons for free shipping and other things! 10/10

I'm not even an "animal person", but you can't help but be enchanted. Inside the thrift store is a little touch of everything that is artfully arranged. China and bric a brac and artworks; some jewelry and books; housewares too. Not a whole lot of each category. But certainly enough to interest browsing. This is the kind of place to stop in often -- as the stock changes. Another note is that the staff was very friendly here and your contributions go to a good cause.
