Mission Statement
The Exotic Feline Rescue Center provides permanent homes for exotic felines that have been abused, abandoned or for some reason have nowhere to live out their lives, while educating the public about these beautiful cats.
About This Cause
Today, the EFRC is a national leader in the rescue and care of exotic felines from all around the country. We are a USDA licensed and inspected 501(c)(3) organization. With just under 200 big cats from 24 states calling the EFRC home, the scope of the nationwide problem of exotic cat ownership comes into focus. Today the EFRC is staffed by a devoted, full-time group of six professionals, trained in caring for exotic felines. They are supported by four other employees and several volunteers. The EFRC has brought a sophisticate level of care to each of its cats, providing them with proper nutritional diets, a high-degree of social interaction, preventative medicines and prompt veterinary care. The EFRC benefits from having an on-site clinic used for general veterinary care, tumor removals, spay and neuter procedures, administering intravenous fluids and blood work. The level of care provided at the EFRC for the long-term health of each cat is substantial. In our 25 years the EFRC has developed strong working relationships with the USDA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Natural Resources within numerous states. Many of our exotic cat rescues have started with a call from one of these agencies. The weight of this problem involving exotic cats, through no fault of their own, is staggering. For every new cat the EFRC accepts, we decline many more requests. For those cats that are fortunate enough to call the EFRC home, they receive a second chance at a better life.With the trade in exotic felines being so pervasive in today’s society there is no sign that requests for the EFRC to accept unwanted exotic cats will subside. There is a tremendous need for the EFRC to bolster its resources to continue to meet the sophisticated needs these magnificent cats require. The EFRC, starting with 15 acres of land in 1991 before expanding to 26 acres in 1998, now encompasses a total of 108 acres of property.
