Horrid Conditions Exposed! If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what is the value of seeing 201 photos of the horrid conditions that lions, tigers, leopards, bobcats and other exotic wild cats must endure in Florida due to the Florida Wildlife Commission insisting that these animals be allowed as pets, props and worse? Take a look at these conditions and then help us put an end to the abuse in Florida.

Our Mission
Big Cat Rescue, a non profit educational sanctuary, is devoted to rescuing and providing a permanent home for exotic (i.e. wild, not domestic) cats who have been abused, abandoned, bred to be pets, retired from performing acts, or saved from being slaughtered for fur coats, and to educating the public about these animals and the issues facing them in captivity and in the wild.
The sanctuary is home to the most diverse population of exotic cats in the world, with 16 species and subspecies of wild cat represented among more than 100 residents. These include tigers, lions, liger, leopards, cougars, bobcats, lynx, ocelots, servals, caracals and others, many of whom are threatened, endangered, or now extinct in the wild.
