Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary provides a sanctuary “for life” for the exotic animals currently calling the sanctuary home. Their goal is to create habitats that mimic native environments and are complete with a staff that can provide daily behavioral, sensory, and manipulative enrichment which is the basis for a happy healthy animal in captivity.
