OUR SLOGAN IS "SAVING ANIMALS ONE BY ONE." false false 2300051 32198 37990 THE ORGANIZATION HAS RESCUED LARGE EXOTIC CATS, SUCH AS TIGERS, LIONS, LEOPARDS, AND JAGUARS FROM ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA. THE ANIMALS' BACKGROUNDS RANGE FROM FORMER PETS THAT CAN NO LONGER BE CARED FOR, ANIMALS RETIRED FROM THE CIRCUS, AND SURPLUS CATS FROM ZOOS. BY GIVING THEM A HOME, THESE ANIMALS ARE SAVED FROM EUTHANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE FOR THE CATS, AND INCORPORATES THEM INTO AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM DESIGNED TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF EXOTIC CATS. THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS TAKE PART IN GUIDED TOURS OF THE REFUGE, WHERE THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE EXOTIC CATS. SCHOOL TOURS ARE ALSO OFFERED WITH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE TAILORED TO FIT AGES FROM KINDERGARTEN TO COLLEGE. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PARTICIPATES IN DNA RESEARCH WITH THE GOAL OF DETERMINING A GENETIC SNAPSHOT OF TIGERS IN THE U.S. TO BE USED TO FURTHER DEVELOP CONSERVATION PROGRAMS. TIGER MISSING LINK ALSO SPONSORS AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM WHERE COLLEGE STUDENTS WISHING TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THE VETERINARIAN FIELD, BIOLOGY, FIELD WORK, OR AT A ZOO, CAN GET PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE AROUND EXOTIC ANIMALS. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR END SEPTEMBER 30, 2023, THE FACILITY WAS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC EXCEPT FOR EDUCATIONAL GROUP TOURS BY RESERVATION ONLY. 2300051 true true false false false false false false false false true true false true false false false true false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false true false true false true false false false false false true true true false false true 21 0 true 29 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 3 true false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true false true true false CA FL NY X NATASHA CHAB 9038581008 17552 FM 14 TYLER TX 75706 EMILY BROOKS CHAIRMAN/EX DIR 40.00 0.00 X X 82459 0 5056 BRIAN WERNER FERRIS FOUNDER 40.00 0.00 X 31591 0 27580 NATASHA CHAB SEC/TREASURER 40.00 0.00 X X 45827 0 8483 BRITTANI FRY Director 40.00 0.00 X 48197 0 677 JOHNATHON WERNER Director 40.00 0.00 X 32108 0 724 CHELSIE CHAMPION Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUMMER BIGGS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ISCHANDE JOHNSON HOLSHUH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 240182 42520 0 false false false FUND RAISING STRATEGIES INC 1420 SPRING HILL ROAD 490 MCLEAN VA 22102 FUNDRAISING 222187 DIRECT MAILCOM 5540 KETCH RD PRINCE FREDERICK MD 20678 MAILHOUSE & PRINTING 127159 MDI IMAGING & MAIL 21955 CASCADES PARKWAY DULLES VA 20166 MAILHOUSE & PRINTING 234634 ACTION MAILERS 90 N COMMERCE DR ASTON PA 19014 MAILHOUSE & PRINTING 167116 FOX ROTHSCHILD LLP 2000 MARKET STREET 20TH FLOOR PHILADELPHIA PA 19103 LEGAL SERVICES 194688 5 4599197 4599197 GATE FEES 712130 1562 1562 OTHER INCOME 900099 36428 36428 37990 14919 14919 0 0 0 16985 16985 0 0 0 821 890 -69 -69 0 4652037 37990 -69 14919 X 32198 32198 0 0 0 243264 199476 43788 0 396507 323371 73136 0 26067 26067 59837 50892 8945 0 0 0 0 222188 222188 0 0 35610 16825 18785 0 0 0 291299 291299 12527 12527 0 0 218238 218238 0 213369 213369 160539 84901 75638 Postage and Shipping 479588 144865 11804 322919 LEGAL & ACCOUNTING 462170 448896 13274 Printing and Publications 457503 137571 11282 308650 FEED, SUPPLIES & VETERINARY 201445 201445 933994 582070 36912 315012 4446343 2300051 945464 1200828 X 1672799 503011 41251 1128537 657613 842677 0 0 0 595176 568180 0 157371 143004 97609 47002 48022 4675502 2411274 2325658 2264228 113679 51 647004 418488 0 0 1082865 2069154 5612001 6465780 158932 238230 2589318 2603739 803152 1375273 3551402 4217242 X 2060599 2248538 2060599 2248538 5612001 6465780 X 205694 -7422 4305 -14638 X false true X false false X 3204042 3731749 4593326 3669603 3224614 18423334 0 0 3204042 3731749 4593326 3669603 3224614 18423334 728706 17694628 14766 13624 12448 18759 14919 74516 0 0 18497850 705626 0.95660 0.99470 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 923048 923048 2174219 1135830 1038389 139604 131110 8494 1140644 969850 170794 297987 174484 123503 2264228 418488 C 418488 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS 1230851 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 838303 2069154 4634283 -7422 4306 -14638 -17754 4652037 4652037 4446343 4446343 4446343 X X X X X true FUNDRAISNG STRATEGIES INC 1420 SPRING HILL MCLEAN VA 22102 FUND RAISING COUNSEL false 3124424 222187 2902237 3124424 222187 2902237 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY true AMERICAN MAMMOTH JACKSTOCK 11968 STATE HIGHWAY 64 TYLER TX 75704 811566530 501(c)(3) 32000 0 SPONSORSHIP 1 0 BRIAN FERRIS DIRECTOR ADVANCE X 533305 562835 false true true BRIAN FERRIS DIRECTOR ACCR INT & COMPENS X 1598449 2185703 false true true CAT DADDYS PROPERTIES LLC DIRECTOR RENT X 127250 418036 false true true 3166574 DECISION POINTS LLC DIRECTOR 122789 15 ACRES LAND RENTAL false CAT DADDYS PROPERTIES LLC DIRECTOR 199923 USE OF NAME & LOGOS false TERRI GILLEY EX SPOUSE OF DIR 75758 15 ACRES LAND RENTAL false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information PART IV, LINE 1: THE ORGANIZATION RENTS 60% OF 15 ACRES OF LAND FROM DECISION POINTS, LLC OWNED BY BRIAN FERRIS, BOARD MEMBER.
