I visited Big Cat Rescue and absolutely cannot WAIT to go again! These rescued animals are kept in as natural as humanly possible cat-a-tats > their natural habitat. Their first goal @ rescued animals is to rehabilitate them and return them to the wild. When that is not possible, the animals are provided with excellent nutrition, "enrichment" (aka play things) given special treats for holidays (turkeys for Thanksgiving, etc etc).

The care and love given to each of these animals is obvious when you look at their page and see the lengths to which they will go to save an animal. Hopeless? Not with BCR around. They'll do everything possible to save a life. Do they always win? No, but they win more than they lose, and without their help EVERY ONE of the cats they've helped would have perished.

Until you've seen the tigers running and playing, romping in their pools, the leopards lounging in trees just like they would in their native country, until you read about the heartwrenching losses...and believe me, they ARE heartwrenching because they love each of these animals...don't say this is a bad place.

Animals in zoos do not have it as good as the cats at Big Cat Rescue. Educate yourself. Don't be a do-do head. These people do marvelous work and will not let the cats become attached to humans in any situation, because they wouldn't do so in the wild. Their "wildness" is protected, the animals are VERY well cared for and no expense is spared to maintain their health.

Three stars? Well, OK, but I wish I could give them 5!
