Our rescues come from private owners, mom and pop zoos, traveling circuses, and other facilities as a result of being abandoned, relinquished, or confiscated by the authorities.

EDUCATION

Saving and protecting wild cats in captivity and in the wild can only be achieved when members of the public become partners in our mission and our work. We welcome the opportunity to educate everyone about the animals and their rescue stories.

We believe it is critical to conserve their native habitats.
We believe wild animals should not be kept as pets.
We believe captive breeding should ONLY be done in accordance with Species Survival plans.

Virtual Field Trips

Education is key to our mission. We enjoy teaching “kids” of all ages! Our field trips, both virtual and onsite, are ideal for groups of kids. Our “Kid for a Day” Adult Camp provides a unique learning opportunity while allowing adults to channel their inner child. While all of these opportunities are structured differently, in the end we want everyone to walk away knowing more about the animals we care for and what they can do to help protect them.
