A Visit to Butternut Farm Wild Cat Sanctuary

At the 2008 Reynoldsburg Tomato Festival we had visited the booth of Butternut Farm, a wild cat sanctuary. Many wild felines (bobcats, cougars, tigers, lynx, servals) are taken in, as the Farm's web site puts it, "through death, divorce, mistreatment, and lack of owner education." We made a donation and received an invitation to visit (appointment only). In June we finally drove up to see the cats (and coatis, a wolf, and a fox), and had a very engaging visit, guided by Carol Bohning, the owner. Here are some snapshots.
