Excellent nonprofit with a wonderful mission! I am so glad they exist to rescue and rehabilitate all kinds of exotic cats. The tickets for the tour are pricey but totally worth paying for, not only because the tour was great, but also because all purchases made at BCR are what make the entire organization possible! I was surprised to learn that there are over 100 volunteers doing most of the work with the animals. Thank you Big Cat Rescue for everything you do! I was happy to call Senator Leahy's office afterward to encourage him to support the Big Cat Safety Act.

Be warned: the tour is 90 minutes in length, on foot, in the Florida heat! There are water stops along the way, but wear good shoes and use the restroom BEFORE it starts (arrive early if possible). I didn't have any problems but these thoughts ran through my mind as the tour progressed.
