The area will be able to accommodate 50 small cats."Catio Town will provide a forever home to current and future small and hybrid cats who can't otherwise be rehomed due to legalities and unwanted behaviors," said Founder and Executive Director Tammy Thies.Earlier this year, the sanctuary rescued 24 Asian leopard cats found living in "deplorable conditions" in Texas.The Wildcat Sanctuary rescues most of its animals from private owners, roadside attractions and police seizures, according to Thies. The sanctuary is currently home to more than 50 hybrid cats and more than 30 small wild cats.The Wildcat Sanctuary says it still needs to raise $240,000 by June 30 to be able to complete the project. Every donation will be matched up to $100,00. Donations can be made online.
