This place is awesome, if you're going to spend money to see exotic animals, why not to a non profit? There's so many cats to see and the staff and volunteers are always helpful and knowledgeable.

I LOVE this place! I've been a supporter and volunteer here for years and absolutely love it. From the moment you walk on property you can tell animal care is priority number 1. The enclosures are spacious, with LOTS of toys, green grass,sunshine, and pools/tubs to play in. Very safe, everything is double fenced. Really a great place to come visit if you're in our neck of the woods!

Not a fancy wild life park but close to the lake for a picnic OR other lake outdoor activity. reasonably priced & I am glad to PAY to help this non profit CAT living environment !

Here's a chance to see lions, tigers, cougars, lynx and more at play. And I do mean play. Large double cages keep you a safe distance from the residents of this sanctuary, but don't block the view. Large play areas allow the cats room to play with multiple toys. The love and care these animals get shows as you can watch new arrivals learn that life is good again. No body should miss this chance to see these rescued cats close up. For those not close enough to visit, check out there web site at www.insyncexotics.com or their Facebook page. This is a chance to see animals that otherwise might have been destroyed have a chance to truly live again.

Lived in Dallas area for 20 years and only just now made it out here. I had visions of cramped concrete cages with sad animals. Boy was I mistaken. Big comfortable cages for the cats. Big green spaces with lots of toys and water attached to each one. This place is simply amazing. Lots of rescued big cats (and some small). Love this place and will be returning frequently. Great cause.

Incredible place, vibrant with rescued wildlife, educational activities and wonderful, wonderful humans. They do not charge an entrance fee. Donations are encouraged.There just aren’t words to describe the work and care and love and work these folks put in to care for large, elegant, beautiful, dangerous and abandoned or abused animals. Take a tour of their Web site http://www.insyncexotics.com/ and sign up for their newsletter, check out their Facebook page with stories and pictures of the big cats and their lives and toys and joys. Then drive over there to see what these wonderful folks do every day to provide for, protect and nurture animals that would have otherwise had to have been destroyed. You will be in awe that they have been doing this since 1998.For the Big Cat Birthday Party they bring in a bounce house and BBQ (and other) food vendors. For the Melon Toss, each cat gets a melon; some treat melon as 'ball', others rip them open and slurp them down. Your children will be thrilled.

60+ rescued exotic cats who were born in captivity & their owners could no longer care for them. This is their forever home, most of them coming from abusive or neglected owners. Recent resue of 10 tigers found 1 male 200 pounds under weight. For the first time, he doesn't have to fight others for food & is getting all he can eat. Many get to walk & play on grass for the first time. The facility is supported on donations, follow them on Facebook to receive daily updates and pictures. You can adopt a lion, tiger, leopard, cheeta, cougar, bobcat, cerval, or lynx. I adopted a cougar named Kami & will begin volunteering soon. Take the kids. Only 4-legged fur people you can pet are the dogs, domestic cats, and a horse who follows you around while you're looking at the cheetahs.

We LOVE this place. We have toddlers and they absolutely love seeing the animals. It's like our own private zoo close to where we live and without the crowds and long walks from the car. We hosted a guided tour for my son's 3rd bday and learned even more. Highly recommend taking an official tour to hear all the stories behind each cat.

These people do so much good. The cats big and small that come in are generally in bad shape. A fantastic amount of time, effort, and food is spent to bring them back to good health.

This is a great location. They are a non-profit operation for the purpose of saving exotic WILD cats. These are animal taken from or abandon by irresponsible individuals. The animals have, far to often, been neglected or abused. This sanctuary is unfortunately the last home most of these animals will ever have. The habitat is one of the best I have ever seen. The emphasis is on the animals. If you looking for a zoo with concession stands and paid guides/attendants you need to go to a zoo. The staff at In-Sync Exotics are all volunteers and have always been helpful and overjoyed to share their experiences.This is a great place for children of any age. At times the animals like to interact with visitor. You cannot touch any of the animals but at times they will come to the inner fence and "cuff" at the visitors (a unique sound made by tigers means "How y'all doing" I think). There is a tax deductible donation requested, and guided tours can be arranged. If you are in the Wylie, TX area with a couple hours on your hand this is a great experience.

I have lived in this area for many years and my wife and I finally decided to drive over.. What a surprise! This was almost better then going to a zoo.. I think we stayed longer then we normally do at the Ft. Worth zoo and we love that zoo. The cages they kept them in were far better than I was expecting and they really take great care of the animals.. Where else you can get so close to these kinds of big cats? To be honest I am not sure.. All the cages were double fenced with history of each of the animals listed on the outer fence (although it was hard sometimes to tell exactly which animal went with each name).. We had no problems with the staff when we were there.. They were very nice and told us alot of things we never knew.. I know for sure we will be going back and taking others with us!

Absolutely did not appreciate staff whatsoever. They had a very snotty attitude and WILL NOT under any circumstances go back. They should not take volunteers if they don't appreciate it.

I've visited In-Sync several times. My SO first discovered them on an evening news program, when they were hurting for finances. We went there the next day and I am now a regular contributor.Big cats are cute when they are small. The problem is they don't stay small too long, they get big. REAL BIG. And then the owner realizes there's a problem. So they get dumped.Fortunately Vicky is there to help.
