Big Cat Rescue

This blog is about an organization called Big Cat Rescue. I have greatly enjoyed researching this organization. This non-profit organization helps rescue and take care of exotic cats such as lions, tigers, leopards, cougars, and so many more. They aim to help reduce the amount of abuse wild cats are suffering because of captivity, extinction and the like. They are home to about 100 exotic cats that have been “abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts”. They realize the stress put on these animals and try their best to help relieve them and make them feel at home.

The bill called the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act is the most important they realize to help protect these animals from being captivated. They are working to reinforce the bill this year. This group has been working hard since November 4, 1992 and I hope to see them continue. They have saved many animals who were threatened, endangered, or even extinct now. These species include: tigers, lions, leopards, cougars, bobcats, lynx, servals, ocelots, caracals, jungle cats, and a geoffroy cat. They are located in the Citrus Park area of North Tampa.

For more information, you can visit their website. They provide photos, videos, stories, and information about the animals they have rescued. You can sign up for their newsletters to see their recent rescues and also keep you updated on certain cats and let you know how they are doing. They also offer tours so that you can personally see these wild cats. If you would like to get involved you can volunteer, recycle, donate, or buy some of their merchandise.

I support this organization 100% and am very excited to watch what they do in the future. It is a shame what animals have to go through and how badly some of them are treated. This group goes above and beyond in order to save these animals and keep them free and happy. Check them out and see pictures of these beautiful animals!
