Worth the trip!

Having been to a similar sanctuary in FL multiple times we had a reference and were thoroughly impressed with EFRC! We drove the hour from Indy and were immediately welcomed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and eager to answer questions. What great care and compassion...More

Wonderful caring place!

This was my second trip to the rescue center and I enjoyed it just as much this time. The big cats are truly close enough to touch in some areas of the park (although if you do, you will be escorted out). According to the...More

Bitter sweet experience!

This place is wonderful. Yes you drive on some back roads in seemingly the middle of no where but it’s perfect for these cats! The fact that this place has to exist is sad. The cats that are here should not be bred at all...More

I can't say enough about the people who run this facility and the wonders they perform for the abused wild cats they rescue. I always leave with tears in my eyes over the tragic stories of some of the animals, anger in my heart at...More

Beautiful Big Cats

Out in the middle of nowhere, conveniently located right off I-70, is the closest you will most likely get to lions and tigers. The 2nd largest big cat rescue in the the states, the largest you cannot tour. EFR offers a 10 dollar tour, takes...More

Beautiful rustic setting. A guided tour to observe a variety of exotic cats rescued from domestic homes. I loved hearing the stories of each animal. A very up close educational experience. I recommend everyone who loves animals visit the Exotic Feline Rescue.

Is the overnight stay worth the extra cost? The website isn't that detailed about the things that are different than the $10 tour.

How is it to photograph the big cats at your location.

Answer

Not a problem-bring your camera/phone. They are all behind fences, but often right next to them. However if weather is bad, you might not see them at all. I took some people there last June on a very hot but sunny day and... More
