If you have a passion for cats, big and small, you will love the Big Cat Rescue. The guide was informative and it added to the tour to know the background of the cats at the rescue and different aspects of them. I was pleased that you could get a very close look at the cats - they seemed to like the attention. It was worth my time and money to visit. I am grateful that rescues like this exist and appreciate the hard work involved. I would recommend a visit to see these beautiful animals.
The place was very dirty and muddy. The staff was not very friendly and there was lots of insects.
At some point Wildlife on Easy Street became the Big Cat Rescue and it is a wonderful place. Truly amazing to be within 3 feet of a tiger or lion. Unbelievable what you learn and how beautiful these big cats are. My husband and I have been here several times and will go back again.
I loved this place. Most of the cats were up and awake. I got to be very close to the cats. The guides told wonderful background stories of where the cats came from and why. It's an unforgettable experience.
