WYLIE (WBAP/KLIF) – The Mirage Las Vegas’ recently named In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Sanctuary and Educational Center in Wylie, as one of two sanctuaries that is now the forever home to big cats from the famed Secret Garden of Siegfried & Roy in Las Vegas.
In May, In-Sync Exotics’ transport team returned home with two male white lions and three leopards. The In-Sync transport team then returned to Vegas at the end of June to transport the remaining S&R big cats to the WildCat Ridge Sanctuary in Scotts Mills, Oregon.
In-Sync Exotics was selected to adopt these big cats and become their new forever home because of the unparalleled In-Sync team, long-standing experience with similar exotic cats, and extensive facility.
According to In-Sync Exotics, the selection to not only adopt the animals but also lead the transports were based on In-Sync’s international reputation for transporting and relocating large exotic cats as they transition to a new facility.
“We are honored to have been selected to care for these amazing animals for the rest of their lives,” said Vicky Keahey, Founder and Executive Director of In-Sync Exotics. “We look forward to providing them the highest level of care with the utmost respect for their well-being that we pride ourselves in giving our 75 other exotic cats who live with us at In-Sync Exotics.”
Madiba and Timba-Masai are 9-year-old male white lions. Shadow is a 14-year-old melanistic leopard and Neruda and Ibasa are 19-year-old spotted leopards. They will join the other 75 exotic cats that already call In-Sync home.
