Exotic Cats — Lions and Tigers and Bobcats… oh my!

Recently, a group of friends of  mine took a trip the Exotic Feline Rescue Center just south of Indianapolis, IN.  The reserve is run by a couple of people who rescue large cats when they’re mistreated from places like circuses, zoos, etc…  The facilities aren’t anything fancy, but they serve the purpose of giving mistreated cats a comfortable home.  Right now, they have a couple hundred acres of land that hold just over 200 large cats.  I have never seen a tiger or lion before, and let me tell you!  I am SHOCKED at how large these beautiful creatures are. I knew that they were “large cats,” but you can never really get the right perspective without actually seeing one close up.

Here are a couple shots from the trip.
