Where do these animals come from?

Some of our animals come from pet situations, some were rescues, some born at the facility, and others from governmental agencies.  No cats at the facility were wild-born.

How do you rescue a big cat?

Rescue is primarily the practice of taking cats out of a poor situation and bringing them to a better situation.  In our case, that involves the safety, security, and daily care necessary to maintain a positive quality of life.

Why does CFAR exist?

The organization exists to provide big cats a home to live out their lives surrounded by individuals dedicated to their needs.  The relationships developed through this care are used to educate the public and bring attention to the issues surrounding big cats.

What makes you different than a zoo?

Primarily, we take a 'hands-on' approach to the care of our residents.  The mentality is that of 'family' as opposed to 'keeper'.

Answer 9

Zoos are places where animals are put in locked areas for the purpose of public viewing for pleasure.

Wildlife Sanctuarys are open areas that are protected from poachers and hunters, usually housing animals that are endangered or hurt, and need a safe place to repopulate or heal.
