Big Cat Rescue // Tampa Florida // Exotic Animal Sanctuary
For years, I’ve wanted to visit the non-profit Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida. I must have made a donation years ago, because I’ve received their newsletter for about a decade. It’s full of success stories of exotic cats rescued from abusive situations, as well as news of medical care given to the big cats and the passing of long-term rescue resident cats. When I visited recently, I had no idea there would be a television show about BCR. Hopefully the Netflix show will make more people aware of the abuses of exotic animals including inappropriate cub petting practices. Currently, they are closed to the public due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
