JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Lions, tigers, and other big cats love playing with trees, so the staff at Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary and community members in Jacksonville are recycling Christmas trees to help both the environment and their furry friends by recycling Christmas trees.
Christmas trees have been dropped off throughout December at Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary for lions, tigers, cougars and bobcats. The Adoption Coordinator said it helps with enrichment (new smell, texture).

Catty Shack asked that people drop their chemical-free, natural trees at the front gate of the big cat sanctuary at 1860 Starratt Road. They ask that people remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel and other decorations before donating the tree.
Although Catty Shack Ranch is no longer accepting additional Christmas trees, they invite visitors to come and watch the cats play with the large trees that have already been donated.
