We toured the Big Cat Rescue Santuary in Tampa, Florida. This is a must-see attraction for all cat lovers. At the time of this writing, admission is $25 per person for an hour and a half walking tour. The big cats reside in “cat-a-tats”. Three feet out from each “cat-a-tat” stands a waist high fence. This is how close you are to the big cats! Most of them eagerly ran to the fence to greet the guide – you can tell how well loved and treated these animals are to the staff.

Here are some of the photos from the Big Cat Rescue Sanctuary:

We’re in Florida (Gulf side) on vacation this week. Today, we’ll be touring the Big Cat Rescue Sanctuary in Tampa.

Did you know that the white tiger isn’t a breed but actually a genetic defect caused from inbreeding? Watch this video – it’ll really open your eyes about these beautiful creatures.
