Please Note: All people in the photos of this website who appear to be in full contact with large exotic cats are in fact professional trainers and handlers who dedicate their lives to achieving such activities safely and humanely. Located on the Vision Quest Ranch in Monterey County California "Wild Things " A. R. Inc. is dedicated to providing professionally & humanely trained wild/exotic & domestic birds and animals for film, television, live productions, education and much much more. Wild Things takes great pride in offering sanctuary to many animals that can no longer participate in entertainment or would otherwise not have a home or family . We've adopted many of our animals from situations that were less than ideal for their health and well-being. We have found ways to share them with others on our tours and educational programs that we feel are fun, safe and rewarding to all - especially the animals. We invite you to tour our website to discover all the exciting ways you can visit and learn about our animals and our facility. Click here to go directly to the Oxton Kennels Information page...
