With over 230 exotic felines calling the EFRC home, we are one of the largest rescue centers in the United States for abused, unwanted and neglected exotic felines.  Our mission is simple:  We provide permanent homes for exotic felines that have been abused, abandoned or for some reason have nowhere to live out their lives, while educating the public about these beautiful cats. We do not buy, sell or breed cats We give big cats a home for life We provide stable social groups We provide enhanced environments We provide the best veterinary care

Since its founding in 1991, the EFRC has served as a nationally recognized leader in big cat rescue, conservation and care.  In the past 20 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. We hope through our website you learn not only a little more about the EFRC and our work, but the plight of these majestic cats.

Located one hour west of Indianapolis, Indiana, we are open to the public:      Hours:  OPEN 10 - 5    TUESDAY-SUNDAY.  Closed on Mondays.  Admission is $10 per adult and $5 per child 12 and under.  Group tour rates and educational programs are available upon request.
