Janette Vallance: Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary director on the facility going into liquidation - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

There are concerns for the future of several Northland big cats after a sanctuary's latest statement.

Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary has been placed into involuntary liquidation after facing a tax bill they couldn't pay off.

Janette Vallance, Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary director says she wants to make sure that the big cats are taken care of, and she won't let anything happen to them.

"To be honest, there's 15 of them. Most zoos would do what most zoos do and tell you that they're too old and what I want to spin here is to be the spot where these sort of cats have a home. That's what we've done and what we will continue doing."
