Wildlife WayStation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wildlife WayStation is a 160-acre refuge in northern Los Angeles County dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating wild and exotic animals. A charitable corporation located within the boundaries of Angeles National Forest, the facility was founded in 1976 by animal activist Martine Colette, who still serves as the organization's director.
The Wildlife WayStation at present houses about 400 wild and exotic animals, including lions, tigers, leopards, mountain lions, jaguars, bobcats, bears, primates, deer, coyotes, and wolves. Many animals in the facility were formerly so-called exotic pets either surrendered to or found abandoned and rescued by Colette and her staff. Animals often arrive at the WayStation in poor health and must be cared for by veterinarians.
