“love, respect, sanctuary”
Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary is a non-profit safe haven for big cats, bears, and native wildlife. World-renowned educator and behaviorist Kay Rosaire and her son Clayton present training demonstrations with their rescued big cats in an educational forum. During the demonstrations they gently encourage the cats to show off their magnificent natural behaviors. You will be enthralled and entertained by these majestic animals as they demonstrate their characteristic athletic ability and unique individual personalities. Comedic and informative, every demonstration discusses the importance of habitat preservation in the hopes of saving these amazing creatures from extinction in the wild. The sanctuary sometimes has special volunteer guests during the shows, such as Derrick Rosaire, Jr. and sons with their bears, or the Rosaire-Zoppes with their chimpanzees. Discussions cover important topics such as extinction and environmental issues. Refreshments and souvenirs are available. Motorcoach Tours, Private Tours, Groups, Individuals, Photo Safaris, Weddings, Company Picnics, and Executive Excursions are available by special arrangement.
