Catty Shack Ranch is asking for Christmas trees.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —  Don't know what to do with an old Christmas tree? Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary could help.

Drop off your Christmas tree — sans ornaments, tinsel or chemicals — inside the fence but by the exit gate, at 1860 Starratt Road.

Admittance is between 1-3 p.m. or Friday and Saturday evening between 6-7p.m. and maybe you’ll see the Lions, Tigers, Cougars or bobcats enjoying the tree you donated. 

According to Turpentine Creek, large wild cats love Christmas trees because they provide hiding spots, they love the smell of pine and are an ideal scratching post.
