Here are three of the five cute cubs that are now calling Exotic Feline Rescue Center home.

During my stay there I picked up one of their books and did some reading about the Joe Taft the founder of EFRC and thought I would share some of it with you.

After college he lived in New Mexico, and he bought a Ocelot, his dream at that time was to have a Ocelot, and drive around in a Lotus. He ended up with the Ocelot, and an MG. That ocelot lived with him for 19 years.

Around the time that his beloved pet died,he started seeing the abuse, and neglect of exotic cats, and had the desire to do something about it. He ended up in Indiana, where he bought a few acres of land that over time ended up being about 100 acres as the need increased. He know has about 230 big cats, mostly tigers, but lions, cougars, leopards, lynx, and more.

He would like to see the need for such places as his not be needed, but I doubt that will ever happen.

There are way to many cases of abuse, and neglect, and also those that acquire them in good faith thinking they can take of them, but find out soon, that is much more than what they can handle.

This is my current challenge entry, and thank you for your comments, I hope you enjoy the series, as much as I enjoy sharing with you.
