Many people don’t realize that Florida is actually home to a wide variety of large wildcats, many of whom are rapidly finding their habitats decimated by the wave of real estate development that swept through our area over the last few decades. Panther Ridge Conservation Center was established in 1999 to provide a safe haven for big cats rescued from dangerous situations around the country, and now there are over twenty of the majestic animals currently in permanent residence there. Visitors are amazed by the incredible care that the animals are given. The cheetahs, jaguars, leopards and other animals are sheltered in clean, spacious enclosures and fed excellent food, keeping them in the prime of health. A visit here is a spectacular educational experience that far surpasses any zoo – you’ll learn so much about the lives of these animals, the conditions they were rescued from, and their species' futures. Panther Ridge is a fantastic organization and the Panther Ridge Convservation Center is well worth a visit.
