Center For Animal Research and Education (CARE) — Attraction in Texas

I've been volunteering at CARE for a few months now, and I can't express how incredible this place is! This sanctuary is dedicated to providing lifelong care for exotic animals - including tigers, lions, bobcats, lemurs, and more - giving them a safe, loving home. Every single animal is treated with the utmost care and respect, and it’s truly inspiring to see how much love and dedication goes into their well-being.

The facility is exceptionally clean, and their strict safety and health protocols ensure that both the animals and the people caring for them are always well-protected. The team running CARE is made up of passionate, knowledgeable, and hardworking individuals who go above and beyond to give these majestic animals the best life possible.

Would absolutely go back if given the opportunity, I have a lot of great memories from the visit. Highly...

Such a really fantastic experience to meet and see these wonderful and majestic Animals. I couldn't help but appreciate the absolute beauty of a big cat and even the cute little lemurs. This is truly a sanctuary and rescue facility and deserves support and appreciation. I for one will be returning in the near future and plan on visiting for a long time. The tour guide I had was very patient and entertained all my questions and showed companionship with these animals. I was very impressed with the staff and the tenants (the animals). Highly recommend that you visit and donate to places like this. Practice your chuffs and 'snuffles' before you go so you can communicate...
