What a wonderful place. These majestic exotics have been given a pristine place to live out their lives. We are given a beautiful experiment being able to watch them up close. Yes, it's the end of July, and yes, it was 100+ degrees, and yes, it was worth the trip. We were fortunate enough to be there during feeding time for many, so some were moving, waiting for their deliveries. The enclosures are beautiful. We were lucky enough to see a white tiger playing in the pool, but I didn't get a picture of that. Highly recommend.

I've visited this establishment three times in the last 4 years and I love it each time. The animals are all rescued from some pretty nasty places. Most of them have their stories posted outside the fence with their names, birthdates, and rescue dates. They all have access to large, grassy play yards and live watching the tigers play in their giant pools. Recently went and visited the newest rescued tiger cub, Minnie, and she was all about chasing the water spraying from the volunteers water hose and stalking and "attacking" guests that were walking by outside of the enclosures obviously.

I had sooo much fun at this place. I can't justify taking any stars away because when you consider they're a rescue and rehabilitation organization they do really well with what they have. They warned about cats being hissy and not bothering them but we only experienced one cat in a bad mood. The rest seemed very content and were just relaxing in their pens. Three of them were laying splayed out on their backs which we found hilarious. One HUGE lion was sleeping on top of his little house and was dreaming which was also hilarious. I really wish this place were about 10-20 minutes closer to me and I would come volunteer after work. You just can't beat getting this close to big (and I mean BIG) cats while supporting a good cause. You're only about an arms length away from them with 2 fences in between for protection. There are quite a few tigers, but also various other big cats. I have never seen lions this big at a zoo. Overall worth the trip. Happy to support them. Just note that when you come, these are wild animals. Many will be hiding and you won't be able to see them and a few might be grouchy. Be respectful of that and you'll have a good time.

This place is AMAZING! I have been there twice in the last month. They have everything from lions, tigers, cougars, leopards, coutamounda (Think I spelled that right), bobcats and even a little black short hair kitty roaming around. It costs $10 for adults and $7 for kids. They are only open for self guided tours on Saturday and Sunday from 11-6. They have a newly added guest services building with "bathrooms", snacks, souveniers, etc. The grounds are kept extremely clean and the volunteers are super nice! The first time, I went early in the morning and the animals were roaming around making for great photos. I was blown away at their size!!! Some of the animals like the bobcats were hiding but hey, it was 100 degrees! The second time, I went in the late in the afternoon. I guess the animals were having their nap time. We roamed for about 2 hours and got to see the bobcats that we missed last time. One even ran up to us and started trying to charge my boyfriend. HOW COOL! This place is a great spot to take kids or have a date. If you love kitties of all sizes then you have to check it out. Where else can you get within arms reach of exotic cats and hear a lion ROAR!

Such a good thing the owner has started. These cats are given to her because they can no longer be cared for or someone took on more than they could handle. I was enough to meet the owner and you can tell how much she's adores the cats. On top of all the exotic cats she also has 16 domestic cats. She's truly a cat lady with a big heart. A donation is all it takes to see all the cats, however not required, but taking care/feeding, health etc is expensive. This cat sanctuary is non-profit and really are doing a good thing. I wish I lived closer to volunteer I'm a cat girl too.

Amazing place filled with big cats - lions, tigers, lynx, bobcats, cougars, cheetahs, and a very friendly horse! Heartwarming (and heartbreaking) stories of each rescued animal's background are posted on each cage. Well worth a visit if you're in this part of Texas!

Tiger!

See all

Because of the poor treatment most got before coming to In-Sync, quite a few have permanent health issues.

WORST THRIFT STORE IN COLLIN COUNTY. I'd know because I spend most of my time thrifting…read more On my most recent visit to HABITAT FOR HUMANITY RESTORE McKINNEY (September 13, 2025) they had a table set up with all kinds of tools and hardware, with a sign attached to the front stating "all items $3.67 each." Great. So I picked out a couple of tools (a small wrench and something else), went up to the counter to pay, and they rung up as $12-something total--or 2x THE PRICE MARKED AT THE TABLE! So I asked the very unfriendly cashier what's up? She said "the sign on the table doesn't refer to ALL the items on the table." ?? So they're mispricing items. They KNOW they're mispricing items. They refuse to honor their own marked prices! The whole building (it's quite large) is a dingy, dirty, smelly industrial zone. It looks and feels like a former factory or automotive manufacturing facility. The building literally doesn't have a floor (the "floor" is actually a parking lot!). No air conditioning, which is excusable, but you'd think they'd be more friendly and organized (and honest) to make up for some of the negatives. No such luck. They do have a nice variety of items--occasional free books by the front door, for example--but the furniture and office chairs have some kind of sticky "film" on them... such that when you touch an item, your hands immediately feel clammy and dirty, as if you just finished cleaning a toilet. A lot of the construction materials (the rear and largest section of the store) are in very poor, secondhand condition; they appear to be leftovers from construction jobs. Many items are very badly broken and damaged. I can't think of anyone who'd want these items for any kind of home improvement project. It's almost like they were sent here from previous Habitat for Humanity projects instead of going to the landfill, where they belong. In the past I enjoyed the occasional visit (and more so since they closed the Plano store), but rarely, if ever, purchased anything. And now, with them not honoring marked prices, it's totally deceitful and dishonest. Not going back.

Me and a friend sat outside the drop off area for close to 10 minutes waiting in the car, as per…read morethe big sign posted. Watched two individuals just stand there but never approached our vehicle to ask about the trunk full of items we had to donate. Took them elsewhere.
