Would you recommend Big Cat Rescue?
This is an incredible organization that does so much good work for the animals it cares for, legislation and education. It is very well run with a great group of people. I always loved being out there enjoying peaceful time with these magnificent creatures and knowing I was doing a small bit to make their lives as comfortable and enriching as possible.
I'm very picky about the organizations I support as many don't do much or often do more harm than good, but this is one of the best organizations I've run across with all efforts going toward helping the animals they have and to prevent more animals from ending up in similar situations.
If you can't volunteer, I highly encourage you to at least take a tour or donate to BCR!
My internship with BCR was one of the best experiences of my life. Whether you want a career working with wildlife, or just have a desire to learn more about exotic cats, I highly recommend volunteering or interning at BCR. If I could do it again I would in a heartbeat! The people are as amazing as the cats. Both have a place in my heart!
I always had a passion for animals but especially for cats, small, medium, big…. any size cat!!! Thanks to Big Cat Rescue I was able to realize my dream and even more than that! Not only I am able to work and take care of these beautiful and unbelievable animals but Big Cat Rescue also educated me about them! Big cat Rescue has grown my passion! There was so much I didn’t know, so much that the public still ignores. And every single day I still learn more and more! This passion has become my life and all these animals, still with us or gone over the rainbow, are part of my heart forever! This passion is now my mission! My voice is now their voice!
I both work for and volunteer for Big Cat Rescue. I have never been happier in my life! You haven't living until you have had a tiger "chuff" at you, seen a leopard do a somersault while trying to catch her tail, or simply enjoyed watching a pair of bobcats play with a new toy. I get to experience these things everyday. Between these wonderful animals and amazing people who give up there free time to care for them, I simply could not think of a better place to be.
Big Cat Rescue has been an experience like no other for me. I have been given the opportunity to work with animals that would never have happened if it wasn't for BCR. I love the people, facility and the animals. It is like family there. There is so much to learn and so much to do. I am proud to be affiliated with this group and never hesitate to talk it up when I can!
