Exotic Feline Rescue Center

My wife and I went to the Exotic Feline Rescue Center today, and had a wonderful time, I don't know of any place where all that is between you and a 700lb Tiger is a wire fence.
It was absolutely awesome to see these magnificent big cats, My only gripe was that the restroom is a porta-potty, But other than that it was well worth the $10 admission.
They work off donations and all the cats I saw looked content and very well fed.
If you have an hour to kill and don't mind a drive out, most definitely go and visit this place, They are open year round.

Been there many of times and it never gets old. Very cool place!

Yep. We have visited a bunch. Winter is the best for us. The cold reduces that smell a bit.

It is a big cat sanctuary first, and a tourist attraction second.

A volunteer got mauled recently. Forgot to shut a gate while in the pen. These guys are still wild....

I have spoken to the wife about going. It's on our to-do list. We just never find ourselves in the area.

Love the place, haven't been since a few months ago. My fiance and myself (we had our first official non eating date there) went to the Spring Fling. Got to see the normal tour area, and then got to see the non public area. Here is some photos I have taken there.

another general thread. I need re upload photos apparently as I must have deleted them when freeing up space.

Pretty cool place. I took the fam there last year and we had a great time. A buddy of mine has horses and this is where the old ones go.

Go on a day that is not hot and sunny. Lots of treese there and the stench/humidity just hangs.

I have been once, and my wife and kids have been at least twice. We got our tour from the main guy who runs it, and it is interesting to hear him tell stories about where a lot of these big cats come from. Many revolve around idiots getting in trouble for other stuff, and the cats get seized too and sent here.

Maybe we need to have an INGO meet up this fall?

Use to be a wire fence was all that was between you and lions and tigers at the Indy zoo but they have since added plexiglass because people were poking the animals and also some got sprayed by the males LOL!!
Yeah, I know what your thinking, who would be dumb enough to jump the wood fence and poke a lion or tiger with a stick but I seem it happen one day when visiting. Dummy!! Those things are strong enough to pull your ass right through a metal fence.
