In May 2012, the state of Indiana received reports of malnourished animals and inadequate cages at Great Cats of Indiana, in Idaville. When officers arrived they found animals in horrible conditions. All of the animals were seized. The USDA and the state of Indiana had had complaints about the facility for years. Three of the tigers were grouped together and entered their transport cages without pause, apparently eager to head south. Assisting on this complex rescue were efrc staff and several volunteers, all supervised by Indiana Department of Natural Resources law enforcement due to the circumstances surrounding the rescue. On

When the Indiana Department of Natural Resources learned of Tinker, a male puma, they drove to his location in Lake Station, Indiana, every few days to evaluate him and his needs. Since his owners failed to obtain the appropriate permit, authorities confiscated Tinker on September 29, 2006, and transferred him to efrc. He was ten years old. Tinker was transported to efrc by two staff members. He was placed with Lilly, another puma, until her death.

The Lakewood Zoo in Wisconsin had been closed for quite a while. All of the animals had been placed except for four tigers. Alerted to this situation by members of the Feline Conservation Federation, and after phone calls from municipal officials, efrc staff left the sunshine of Indiana and headed for the snow of Wisconsin. They arrived in the late afternoon but were able to go to the zoo and see the tigers to assess the situation. The tigers all appeared healthy and well fed. Two tigers—Chloe, a female, and Nemo, a male—lived together. The other two female

In late 2003 Boi Pello, a male serval, was confiscated by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection from an owner in Voluntown, Connecticut. Connecticut laws prohibit private ownership of servals. Boi Pello was transferred to Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in early 2004 for temporary holding. He appeared to be in good condition and had been castrated and declawed prior to his arrival at the zoo. His weight was listed as thirty pounds. From the zoo’s behavioral history: “Interested / intelligent / wants to play—hisses when uncertain who you are / bringing in new items / or just not

efrc staff rescued one male tiger, Dusty, and two black leopards, a male named Magic and a female named Mya, from Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo in October 2011. This was efrc’s fourth and final trip to Fun Spot. Fun Spot had housed eleven cats when the park closed nearly three years earlier. Although Fun Spot kept staff to care for the cats, the amusement park eventually had to relinquish all the animals. We agreed to take all eleven cats. Three new habitats were built for the last of these cats and in early October, a full year after committing

Zoey is a male puma whose story is similar to Simba’s. Zoey’s owners lived in Ohio and were forced to give him up due to changes in state laws. He is very friendly and is still visited by his previous owners. Zoey frequently purrs for visitors. He enjoys visitors except when he has just been fed.

In the fall of 2014, two tigers were rescued from North Carolina. The tigers were taken in at a young age by a couple not willing to see them euthanized because of broken legs. After providing them with veterinary care and nursing them back to health, the couple built one of the most beautiful tiger cages we had ever seen on a rescue. Located on the edge of a rock quarry, this large enclosure was filled with trees, large boulders, natural caves, and water pools. Unfortunately, a little over a year before the rescue the wife died, the husband was
