Lions, tigers, and leopards are a few of the breeds housed at the Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minn. The sanctuary is closed to the public and is solely funded by private funds. Since it's not open to the public, most of the donors will never see the cats in person.

Bengal tigers
These Bengal tigers are residents of the Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minn. Residents here are animals that were kept as sideshows or even pets and rescued either by owner surrender or law enforcement action. Officials at the sanctuary say their goal is to go out of business.
