Visiting Big Cat Rescue was one of my 'bucket list' items. I had been watching their dedicated service to helping big cats for at least 10 years before I had an opportunity to visit. I was traveling to Orlando for work and made sure I had extra time. I set up an all day visit to the rescue and it is one of the greatest things I have ever done for myself.

The passion of the volunteers and staff is evident when you walk in. The world they have created for the cats is amazing and the care given to each and every one of the animals is heart warming. Education is key, and it shows from the very first contact you have with the staff to the time you walk out the door to leave. I was able to confidently communicate the reasons for different legislative bills to the people back home. The ideas and stories I brought back with me has spread to people I have not even met yet. The activism you find at BCR is contagious and I hope it continues. It's in my plan to make it back there, if for no other reason than to hear Mac the cougar chat with his favorite people. Keep up the great work, BCR.
