Each presentation or appearance is customized for the audience in order to create an impactful experience.

There are many animals that call Lyon Ranch home, and a few of the ones who enjoy human interaction have become Animal Ambassadors in our outreach and therapy work. Meet some of our animals here!

Meet Wally

Wally the cat needed all of his teeth pulled due to stomatitis and your donation of any amount will help us cover the costs of surgery and recovery!

At the age of 5, Wallace (Wally), was abandoned and picked up by Rebecca and Kellen who brought this sweet boy home only to discover that he was sick with a viral infection and tapeworms and needed emergency dental care. Several vet visits later, Wally is healthy and now spends his days in the main ranch house with his forever family of humans and cats.
