I had so much fun living with big cat I mean I have elephants zebras ostriches lions tigers you name it in my backyard and I don’t get that back at home.

In addition to that I contribute to their daily lives by cleaning enclosures assisting and buildingRead More →

Hi my name is Truman I’m from Kansas USA and I’m living with the cats. One of the things that I really wanted to make sure that I was a part of what I got here was interacting with animals and as soon as I arrived we started working.

A lot of my work is focused around maintaining a habitat, their enclosures and we also get through a lot of hands-on work with the animals. So I don’t think you can get in many other places.
