Animals
The Wildlife WayStation 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 the property of people who found they were unwilling or unable to continue to keep their so-called exotic pets and either abandoned the animals, which were later found and rescued by Colette and the staff, or surrendered them to the WayStation, escaping further responsibility for the animals. The animals often arrive at the WayStation in poor health and must be cared for by veterinarians.
