Big cat sanctuary

These pictures were taken on a recent visit to "The Wildlife Heritage Foundation" Big cat sanctuary & breeding center in Kent.

Endangered in the wild, these noble animals are protected & bred in captivity with the hope that one day when things are safe for them, their offsprings offspring may be released back into the wild.

The center is not open to general public, but it is possible to organise big cat encounters or take part in other events through the website...
