The Center for Animal Research and Education is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to education, research, rescue, and long-term care for exotic animals. Located on 20 acres in Bridgeport, TX, CARE currently provides a permanent home to over 40 animals including mountain lions, African lions, tigers, black and spotted leopards, bobcats, ring-tail lemurs, llamas, and a coati. The animals of CARE come from a wide variety of places. Some of the animals were abused, abandoned, or bred to be exotic pets before they came to the facility. Others were retired from shows and traveling, sent from other facilities that needed help, or were simply unwanted by private collectors. Regardless of an animal’s origins, they are all given tremendous love and world class husbandry when they find a home at CARE.

Big Cats indeed.
What a unique and terrific visit we had last Sunday. The volunteers (David, Lisa and JD) were full of information and love for these animals...and the animals loved them back just as hard. These cats are simply gorgeous...absolutely beautiful. The four lion cubs are adorable. It's hard to believe they will grow up into these massive animals. If you get a chance take a drive and go visit this awesome place. It is definitely worth your time. I can't recommend it highly enough.

My most special visit yet
This was my third time visiting the facility and it was so wonderful. Every visit has been great but this time was my favorite. It’s wonderful seeing how much love and care all the critters here receive. Our tour guide, David, was absolutely wonderful and engaging. Extremely informative and kind. 10/10 would drive all the way from Tulsa at every opportunity.
