An animal refuge designed to care for abused and unwanted or neglected big cats, visitors can drive by anytime during daylight hours to see these beautiful animals. Feeding times are dawn and dusk, and a special three-day 'hands-on' training program is available, for a fee, for interactive experiences working with live lions, tigers, leopards and cougars. For more information, call 940/683-5034 or 800/704-0667.
