Locked & Loaded - Power Cats - - 3rd Educational Video - DVD

David and I are proud to announce that we are in the final stages of completion of the Sanctuaries 3rd educational video, "Locked & Loaded- Power Cats - DVD" As most of our hard-core followers are aware, the Tiger Homes Sanctuary has embarked on a mission to create and produce our own ?Educational Video Series?. As of now, we have created 2 videos with the 3rd in the final stages of editing.

David and I just reviewed the final editing dub of ?Locked & Loaded ? Power Cats? the other day and were extremely pleased the way it turned out. Clayton, of InnerCircle Studios did an absolutely fantastic job in capturing not only the heart and soul of David and I, but the heart & soul of the Sanctuary as well. You guys are going to LOVE IT! Trust me! Although David and I are definitely not actors (thespians), we tried our best, and the video really captured the feelings in our hearts and our views on allot of different subject matter.

In this video we bring our viewers up close and EXTREAMLY personal with some of the Sanctuaries residents as well as two other facilities, including the Miami Metro Zoo. I can guarantee that this video is like no other you have ever seen, in both subject matter and concept. David and I take you directly into the naturalistic habitats of all your Sanctuary favorites; including Tundra, Loki, Marcan, Sherikon, King, Princess, and Gypsy as well as some "off camera" Caracal habitats. After taking you so close to these remarkable animals that you can almost smell there breath, we leave the Tiger Homes Sanctuary and visit with our friend John at Wild Florida Productions, and then the Miami Metro Zoo. At John?s, we expose you to some serious jumping Cougars and gorgeous Siberian Lynx. To finalize the video with a very special grand finale, we visit with Miami Metro Zoo?s Cheetahs. Miami Metro Zoo is one of the few facilities in the entire world to have a KING CHEETAH, and we were extremely great full to the entire Zoo staff for allowing us to film.

Ok enough with the video content breakdown. I know exactly what most of you reading this are waiting for me to finally get to, ?How Do We Get Copies Of The Videos?! You have read about us talking about these videos for over a year now in the Chronicles with no ability to purchase them. Well your wait is almost over. David and I had to wait for the 3rd video in the series to be completed in order to get the best deal on Video and DVD mass production. As you know, we are intending these videos to go into the National School System down the road, so we need to get a price break on their production. We will also be selling them on the SANCTUARY GIFT SHOP as well very shortly. We have been getting an overwhelming interest from visitors to the site wanting to purchase the Educational Video Series. Well, your time is getting closer. Shortly after we receive the final copy of the 3rd video, we will send them all out to be produced into DVD?s and VHS Videos. Then they will be available on the GIFT SHOP.

Since I have been bringing up the subject, "GIFT SHOP", I would like to make a personal plea to our faithful followers and the thousands of new viewers visiting us every day. Please do not wait for the DVD's and Videos to be put up on the GIFT SHOP to purchase anything. The Sanctuary drastically needs the help and support of our viewers too not only keep things going, but to improve the lives of our family that lives here. David and I live to improve things on a daily basis. Nothing bothers us more then being stagnant. We need your help to continuously take forward moving steps. I do not want to complain, but you ALL would be absolutely astonished if you new the ridiculous miniscule amounts of money we have raised from GIFT SHOP sales. In actuality, it is appalling if you consider the amount of joy, interest, education and happiness the Sanctuary residents bring into your lives. You all know who you are. In fact, I know who you all are because David and I get literally bombarded by your e-mails (from all over the world) telling us how much you enjoy the cams! How much you have learned from watching the animals and visiting the ?Educational Center?. What amazing habitats the animals live in. How happy and healthy each animal is, from the tigers write down to the lizards and tortoises co-inhabiting with the lemurs. In short we need and appreciate your help. Our goal is to create a worldwide interest in wildlife and a passion for protecting it and its remaining wild places. Please give us a hand.

As always, thank you for learning and visiting with us. Keep on watching the cams as things change in the blink of an eye. Speaking of ?Change?, I?ll give you a little preview on next month?s plans. We are going to completely remodel and upgrade Clarence and Gypsy?s habitat. See you then!

Remember, there are many ways to help the cause. Here are a few.

1) Tell everyone you know about the website. By increasing the number of visitors, we increase the awareness of the danger these wonderful creatures face.
2) If you have a website, link to us - http://www.tigerhomes.org/
3) Submit our site http://www.tigerhomes.org/ to any webcam sites you may visit.
4) Make a donation to the sanctuary. There is an area on the gift shop for those who want to contribute.
5) Purchase items from the gift shop. They make great gifts and are for a worthy cause.
6) Adopt a pet. It's a great way to virtually own one of the sanctuary animals.

Remember, our main mission is to spread an interest in saving wild animals and wild places but we can't do it alone.
