The Center for Animal Research and Education (CARE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the loving and long-term care of over 60 animals including mountain lions, tigers, leopards, bobcats, ring-tail lemurs, serval, lynx, lions, llamas, and a tortoise. Some of the animals were abused, abandoned, or kept as exotic pets before they came to the facility. Others were retired from the entertainment industry, retired from zoos, or transferred from other facilities that closed or reached capacity. Regardless of an animal’s origins, they are all given tremendous love and world class husbandry when they find a home here. We continue to evolve in order to best serve our mission of providing a safe, permanent, and loving home to exotic animals in need. We focus on excellence in physical and emotional care, advocating animal welfare through education, and conducting minimally-invasive research with the aims of improving living conditions for captive animal populations world-wide.
