Retirement home for lions and tigers
Ever
wonder what happens to lions and tigers that retire from the circus or
are simply abandoned? If they’re lucky, the end up at Big Cat Rescue in
Tampa, the largest accredited sanctuary dedicated to abandoned and
abused big cats.
Dozens of lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and
other animals are fed and cared for there. Most of them have been
abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or
retired from performing acts.
During a two-hour behind-the scenes
tour, you can make toys and treats, watch a training session, learn the
history and interact with a variety of wild cats.
