This morning I decided to go to The Big Cat Rescue. What a fantastic organization. They rescue big cats from all over. Some of the cats rescued were kept as pets and some are from circuses where the cats just didn't 'perform' anymore. Our tour guide, Mike, made a great point when he said, 'This isn't a zoo. We don't have our animals perform, so some may be out and some may not. We'll see.'
When we got to our area to meet for the tour, this beautiful peacock was there. He was making a racket and some of the people said he was saying "Help me, help me." It really did sound like that.
Here are some of the other images I took of the South American Cougar, the Bobcats and some fo the beautiful Tigers. Just look at their eyes!
The best images of the Tiger couple will come later tonight or tomorrow. They were amazing. The male is 800 lbs. and the female less than half that, but when they played it was great. They were having so much fun.

Thanks for letting your readers know about Big Cat Rescue. We don't have to spend money on ads because so many wonderful people like you are great viral marketers...especially when you have so many great photos. Carole Baskin, Founder of Big Cat Rescue
Wow, very cool Al, I love the big cats. It's a great thing their doing and must have been pretty cool to take a look. Nice shots.
Oh my gosh, babe! These photos ROCK! Those cats are GORGEOUS! I wish I could have been there!
God Bless those who are helping them. I LOVE people with hearts like that!
Carole, thank you for what you have done. It was an honor to be around such magnificent creatures today. Without your aid, these cats would be lost to all. Thank you for taking the time to help them thrive. The next time I am in town I will definitely take the photo tour. Today was just a taste and now I want more. I am amazed at these cats and how intelligent they are. I will post more tomorrow!
Jim, thanks! It was SOOO cool to be that close. 4-5 feet from a tiger? Yeah, pretty intense and amazing. I saw the claws come out when they were playing and that was incredible.
Thanks, babe! I wish you could have been there, too. If we ever come out here together I definitely need to take you there. We'll do a photo tour. The cats have so much intelligence and beauty. So cool!!
