Big Cat Rescue
One of the world’s largest accredited sanctuaries for exotic cats, is a leading advocate in ending the abuse of captive big cats and saving wild cats from extinction. We are home to about 100 lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars, servals and other species most of whom have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts.
The sanctuary began rescuing exotic cats in Nov. 4, 1992.
The non profit 501 c 3 sanctuary is home to about 100 exotic big cats
The cats at Big Cat Rescue are here for a variety of reasons, including:
Abandoned by owners who wrongly thought they would make good pets
Abused by owners in order to force them to perform
Retired from performing acts
Saved from being slaughtered to make fur coats
Rescued as babies after hunters killed their mothers.

Most of the photos I took unfortunately have the wires of the enclosures visible.
The habitats are extremely large with trees and scrubs, perches and toys.
Cats, except for lions are solitary animal and most are in separate enclosures.
Some that were rescue together were original places together, but after they "returned to their wild nature behavior" they wanted their solitude bad and so were separated.
It was a very hot day, almost 95 degrees, but as soon as we started our walk the temperature dropped a few degrees because we were basically in a covered forest type area. You are not allowed to touch the animals because they try to keep them in their most natural habitat.
Here are some of the shots I took
There are more photos here s398.photobucket.com/user/huronnatags/library/Big%20Cat%20Rescue?sort=3&page=1
You have my permission to use any of the photos, just please give me the photo by Huronna credit.
Thanks for coming with me.
