Kenny and Willie, both tigers, get a new home at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. They were rescued in October, 2000. Finally, with the help of supporters from coast to coast, they get the home they deserve. To help other big cats go to www.turpentinecreek.org
Our animal enrichment program is always looking for new and safe ways to keep our cats entertained. Senior keeper Barbara came up with an idea of wrapping cow tails up in paper so that the tigers had to work for their treats. Watch as the tigers get cow tails for the first time. This pod cast also includes some tiger facts as well. With around 5,000 of these animal left in the wild, we need to take action right now for their survival. Human over population and illegal trade in their body parts have led them to the brink of extinction. We simply need to support programs that save their habitat around the globe.

Closed on Sundays is a nice look at Big Cat Rescue on our quietest day. Get a close up look of the cats like never before. Educating the public about captive and wild felines is very important and that is why we do tours Mon- Sat. We feel strongly about only being open on tour times, as not only does everyone get a tour guide to educate them about the cats and answer all their questions, but then it allows the cats to have a break between times when guests are walking around. And after our busiest day on Saturday, what a better way to spend a Sunday then to be closed. And in being closed not only do we provide a beautiful sanctuary feel for our resident felines; it also becomes a morning haven for our volunteers.

The Amur leopard is in a very tough spot right now, and those that are trying to save this species need your help! At BCR we are trying to make every cats life mean something, so we are using our captive animals as spokespeople for their wild cousins. Please check out www.amur-leopard.org. Together we CAN make a difference. Thank you. www.bigcatrescue.org
It took seven years for the USDA and concerned citizens to shut down the Siberian Tiger Conservation Association, which was just a fancy name for a tiger tamer wannabee camp. Now Big Cat Rescue is calling on you to help bring these cats to FL so that they can live out the rest of their lives in peace.
