Felines at Big Cat Rescue in Citrus Park received surprises in their enclosures






Posted: 10/17/2013
TAMPA, FL. - Tigers T.J. and Bengali received pumpkins filled with chicken. Reno the golden leopard pulled a paper mache ghost out of a tree and ripped it apart with its mouth.

The holiday themed treats are meant to give the cats mental stimulation.  Workers at the rescue say like domestic cats, exotic cats are always curious about anything new and different in their environments.

Big Cat Rescue in Tampa is the largest accredited sanctuary in the world dedicated entirely to rescuing and providing a permanent home for abused and abandoned exotic cats.

The sanctuary is home to more than 100 big cats, including lions, tigers, leopards, bobcats and more.  Find out more at the rescue's website .
