OMG, that is so amazing, are some of them approachable?

@littlejohn22 The center has a very strict "do not touch" policy. The only time a cat is actually touched by a staff member is when they are under anesthesia. A lot of the cats arrive at the center very stressed by (crappy) human interaction. So the goal is to de-stress them and give them a good place to live out their lives. In one of the lion photos you see the white tube- they are fed through that. Meat "falls from the sky" as the staff says. :-)
