Purchase Tickets to BIG CAT RESCUE in Tampa, Florida

Tickets are Valid For 1 Guided Day or Kids Tour
Tickets will be mailed to you.  Sorry no electronic tickets

We are a sanctuary, not a zoo, so our animals come first. We do not allow people to wander around unescorted. Our tours are all guided and provide an educational experience that includes the plight of big cats in the wild and in captivity and what you can do to save them.

Big Cat Rescue is the one of the world’s largest accredited sanctuaries dedicated entirely to abused and abandoned exotic cats. Celebrity supporters of the work being done by BCR include Bo Derek, Harrison Ford and Leonardo DiCaprio, and more.

• Let your tour guide relate their tales of hardship and triumph and take you to see some of the following:
• Meet a pair of frolicking leopards that leap from platform to platform in their fenced-in enclosure.
• See a chirping serval rescued from a basement and enjoying the sunlight it was denied during its ordeal.
• Witness the biggest and most impressive creatures in the refuge; the lions and tigers. Though they cannot be returned to the wild, discover how the sanctuary gives them the most natural existence possible!
