"We at Wolf Run Wildlife Refuge would like to give a big 'thank you' for a large donation of dog food that we recently received.  This donation was given in the name of the late Bruce N. Catlett DVM.  Dr. Catlett was a very respected veterinarian in the state and was past president of both the Louisville Veterinarian Medical Association and the Kentucky Veterinarian Medical Association. We appreciate the generosity so much"

Wolf Run Wildlife Refuge and Educational Facility, Inc.  began its lifesaving efforts in 1993. The facility, located in Nicholasville, KY, was enacted to help innocent animals find a world that was safe, free from abuse and a permanent sanctuary for those that could not be released back into the wild. Wolf Run has grown into a state and USDA licensed educational facility that houses Kentucky native wildlife as well as African lions to South American cougars, from Wolves and Coyotes to our native Whitetail deer. We work to offer each of them an existence that closely mimics their natural habitats.
