One of the most exciting highlights of 2006 was a trip to the Oregon Tiger Sanctuary with Dr. Cathy Johnson-Delaney to treat a number of large exotic cats and primates.  The Sanctuary is dedicated to caring for abused and abandoned large cats and primates in a beautiful serene setting with an enthusiastic and compassionate staff of caregivers.  We worked two long days with these amazing animals, and in return enjoyed the beautiful setting, wonderful food and terrific hospitality.
