exotic feline rescue center印象

The tour of the big cats was about 1 hour long. The staff was full of knowledge. Very well cared for animals. They even have a house you can spend the night at with special privileges.

Wow, what an amazing place! This was my first visit and my husband's second. The event was very well organized. Our tour guide was AWESOME ( I wish I remembered her name)! She was very informative and knowledgeable! The tour itself was mesmerizing. There was an abundant amount of food with a LOT of variety...even vegatarian options! We roasted hot dogs and smores over the bonfire. I really enjoyed the walking "VIP" tour. We could have rode in the circus cages, but opted for the walking tour! Great place, great event, great time...thank you EFRC!!! I'll be seeing you again for your 5k and Evening Roar...I cant wait!!!

This place had me a little worried when we first arrived as some of the smaller cats were in small enclosures. My concerns were quickly put to ease once we got to the larger cats. The enclosures are large, they are well fed and well cared for rescue animals.

We have been to the EFRC four or five times, and it's a great experience. You get so close to the cats you could almost touch them. The tour guides give you a bunch of information on the cats, and their background. If you go bring comfortable walking shoes, it's a long walk on a gravel road. All of the proceeds of the tours go to the animals, it's NOT a zoo, these are all rescue animals. Going during lunch time can be fun, that's when they feed the cats, and seeing a cat eat a horse's leg, or Cow's head is something to see, although not for everyone. I would bring some sodas/snacks, it's in the middle of nowhere, so there aren't a lot of food/drink places nearby

Joined a tour and walked thru the rescue center. Saw around 30+ felines and lions within 5 feet. Listen to them pur roar and saw them jump around. Simply amazing

A friend recommended this place and it was well worth it. You're able to really get right next to the big cats but still feel safe. The guide was amazing, with an amazing knowledge of each rescue animal. We went on a Sunday at 1, right at feeding time, so that made for sn even better experience. We were able to watch a huge tiger chew on a leg from a cow. The kids thought that was really cool

We made an impromptu visit to this center when traveling across Indiana. I told myself to manage my expectations upon arrival because I had no idea what was we store for us....It was incredible! We bumped into the owner upon parking, he showed us a few "behind the scenes" areas. I have never been so close to a tiger (through a cage, of course). I was disbelief with the level of care and knowledge the employees had. The tour was about an hour long, the path was a little muddy so don't wear nice shoes! It went by quickly and well worth the $10 entrance fee. I would much rather visit a facility such as this one, compared to a zoo. I learned so much about the tigers and how this facility saves exotic felines from terrible conditions. It runs on donations and visitors and I will happily visit again.

We went here for a wedding and were impressed with the mission of the center. Animals are rescued and given a safe place to spend their lives. All animals are spayed or neutered. It was a little unnerving to be so close to such big cats! They also have a cabin to spend the night that we may try later...

We really weren't sure what to expect. As others have mentioned it is really incredible to be able to walk on a path so close to many of the animals. Most seemed curious enough to want to be seen too. We heard them roar, purr, and make other noises that you usually don't hear when visiting a zoo. Their enclosures are spacious and shady for them. The official parking lot is past the entrance. Most people were just parking along the gravel road. It is a no-frills operation which makes it even nicer in my opinion. We will go back again.

Knowing the cats are taken care of makes one realize this place is needed. They have the food they need, space to run, and a place of safety.Knowing why they are there is the hard part. The general public at large should never be given a license to "own" these large cats. A cute lion cub will grow up. What will you do with it when it is no longer cute or cuddly? Put it in a cage? Outrageous!The name of this place states it clearly: Exotic Feline RESCUE Center. And they have rescued so many.They do not take cats that are pregnant. Oops! Someone slipped up, for when we arrived, there were FIVE tiger cubs as fascinated with us as we were with them.We were reminded that these are wild animals when the guide stood in front of one of the cats and it appeared that she would receive some love, but when she sat down with her back to the cat, it pounced at the fence ready to attack her.The variety of cats, the closeness one can get to seeing the animals, the explanation of the guides make this an attraction I highly recommend. They can use all the donations they receive.
