Big Cat RescueWho is Big Cat Rescue?
Big Cat Rescue is one of the largest accredited sanctuaries in the world dedicated to abused and abandoned big cats.
We are home to about 50+ lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species most of whom have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts.
What sets Big Cat Rescue apart is that we are working to end the abuse at its root by ending the private possession and trade in exotic cats through legislation and education.
The sanctuary began rescuing exotic cats in Nov. 4, 1992.
Mission Statement
Big Cat Rescue’s mission is to provide the best home we can for the cats in our care, end abuse of big cats in captivity and prevent extinction of big cats in the wild.
