Welcome to Big Cat Refuge, located in Northern California. Since our founding, BCR has served as a rescue center and forever home to countless exotic animals that have been abused, unwanted, neglected, or were otherwise homeless. Our facility proudly houses one of the most complete collections of felids in the world and sponsors special breeding programs to continue endangered species survival. However, we have lots more than just big cats! As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we receive no government funding, but have made it our mission, with the help of donations and volunteers, to provide lifetime care to these miraculous animals and educational opportunities to local communities via tours.
