Exotic Feline Rescue Center

Hubby and I made the two hour trek to the Exotic Feline Rescue Center just outside Brazil, Indiana last weekend and it was definitely worth the drive! Dozens of volunteers and thousands and thousands of dollars make it possible for these mistreated, neglected and abused cats to have second chance at life.....



Since its founding in 1991, the EFRC has served as a nationally recognized leader in big cat rescue, conservation and care. In the past 19 years the EFRC has grown from its humble beginnings with only three exotic felines to today caring for over 230 cats, representing nine different species.




Shiloh the serval was seized from a crappy circus, parts of her "Run" are constructed from old circus rail cars.



Dakota the lynx.




These are two of three sleepy male lion that live together in a bachelor group, they've been together all their lives. They were so malnourished and poorly bred that they couldn't put their hind legs down at the same time due to shortened ligaments. One was always sticking out. Thankfully, all the cats have had corrective surgery.



This beautiful chocolate and cream tiger was born to a white tiger breeder where three out of four cubs are slaughtered at birth because they lack of the perfect white coat. She is a lucky survivor.



Omy Nom Nom



Vinny Bob is a lover, not a fighter. He's learning to walk on a leash and hopes to be an ambassador in an animal outreach program.




Am Water Sprite, not Tiger! Love water. Eat. Sleep. Poo. Pee. All in water. Yay water!



You and yer cameras ah not relavunt to mah intrust.



Hi, my name is Tom and I'll be your tour guide today. Please follow me and keep arms and legs away from the fences or my friends will eat you.


Please visit their website or, even better, make the drive to Brazil, Indiana and visit these beautiful cats.
