Biography For Louis Dorfman
Louis Dorfman was previously Chairman of the Board and Animal Behaviorist at International Exotic Animal Sanctuary and has been associated with this facility for 25 years.
He has worked with many species of wild animals for over 60 years, both in protected and unprotected contact. At IEAS he rehabilitates exotic cats that have been abandoned, abused, and/or confiscated and in most cases changes the reactions of the cats to humans from one of fear and hate to an attitude that the humans are there for security and support for the resident cats. Over the years, he has worked with over 150 exotic cats at the sanctuary alone.
He also worked with the 31 black bears that were all orphaned and placed with the sanctuary by state agencies. He habituates the bears so that they are habituated with their human caregivers while remaining essentially wild bears in their 10 acre compound.
He has made appearances on all national in many international television networks including ABC, NBC, Fox News, CNN, BBC, and E! Networks on various animal issues.
