big cat sanctuary

Large predator haven

A big cat sanctuary is a facility that provides permanent refuge for lions, tigers, leopards, and other large felines rescued from abusive situations, failed private ownership, or defunct roadside zoos.

Unlike traditional zoos, sanctuaries don't breed animals or allow direct public contact.

The tiger was transferred to a big cat sanctuary in Texas after its owner was arrested.
