Recycle your Christmas tree into toy for big cats

Lions, tigers and other big cats love playing with trees

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Lions, tigers and other big cats love playing with trees, so the staff at Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jacksonville suggest that people help both the environment and their furry friends by recycling Christmas trees.

Catty Shack asked that people drop their chemical-free, natural trees at the front gate of the big cat sanctuary at 1860 Starratt Road. They ask that people remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel and other decorations before donating the tree.
