CITRUS PARK, Fla. - Thanksgiving is one of the favorite holidays for the exotic cats at Big Cat Rescue, because they get to eat Butterball turkeys.  Some of the smaller exotic cats eat game hens.

The food serves as a snack as well as providing mental stimulation for what would otherwise be an ordinary day for the cats.

Lioness Nikita, tiger Alex and leopard Reno all received a Butterball turkey.  Smaller cats including Amazing Grace the Ocelot and Frosty the Serval ate game hens.

Big Cat Rescue 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, and bobcats.  To find out more about the rescue click here .
