    Thanks for starting a news thread on this facility. It's gone under the radar for quite some time, but I visited at the beginning of 2020 and really liked the place. They do a lot of good work and I hope it gets more recognition in the future.

    With the recent arrival of the lynx, this small cat park now holds 10 species.

    Amur Leopard (Melanistic Variant)
    Caracal
    Cheetah
    Clouded Leopard
    Eurasian Lynx
    Fishing Cat
    Florida Panther
    Jaguar
    Ocelot
    Serval
