Awesome experience.

My fiance and I brought his mom and my parents for a Day Tour as a Christmas gift. His mother is an avid follower of the BCR FB group, so we figured she would love it. She did.

The tour guide was super informative and friendly. I learned a lot, some of which will make you very sad and angry at people who mistreat animals. Their mission is important and they do a great job at educating the public on the dangers of private exotic animal ownership.

It had just rained super heavy before our tour began, but we still got to see plenty of the cats. Well worth the money, especially knowing it's not for profit and all of the profit goes to the animals.

I also felt that their enclosures were set up nicely. I didn't leave with a feeling of concern for the well-being of these animals. I truly believe the staff and volunteers here do everything they can to keep the animals as healthy and happy as possible. Remember, the animals here cannot be returned to the wild. They must go somewhere, and this is a good place for them to be. BCR even does a fantastic job about explaining their position on anti-cage for their animals, even though they use them. They wouldn't need to be caged now if people didn't fail them to begin with.
