Exotic Feline Breeding Compound, Feline Conservation Center If you lke cats, this is your place for the exotics. With worldwide renown, this facility is helping the rarest species of leopard (Amur) survive, not only in captivity, but by raising funds to help those trying to preserve the last 35 in the wild. They recently sent an x-ray machine to help with Cheetah Conservation in Botswana. They are a great local place where individuals can contribute proactively to help stop a global problem. Your community has supported and made them what they are today. From seven cats and seven acres, now 80 cats are housed on 80 acres of land. While less than half of them are on display, you are able to view many varieties that are unusual. Three leopard sub-species, Ocelot, Margay, Serval, Cougar, Jaguar, and three variety of lynx is just a partial list of what is available everyday but Wednesday. Don't be depressed about the sate of the wild world, do something about preserving it. Through this blog, I will try to give an insiders look at some of the cats, on a semi-regular basis. |
