Description Part habitat, part haven, part labor of feline love, the Panther Ridge Conservation Center is above all else a home for some of the world’s most beautiful and endangered big cats. Panther Ridge is a 501 ©(3) nonprofit institution that is dedicated to conservation through education. Our center is home to over 26 big cats representing ten different species. We strive to engage the public with our feline ambassadors so that they may become aware of the plight of big cats in the wild. Once a cat is accepted by Panther Ridge, it will never again need a home, or be at risk of neglect or mishandling. Our animals are treated with kindness, respect, and gratitude for their part in conservation.

Very fun family-friendly experience! The cats were beautiful and playful, it was exciting getting to learn more about them. It was very humid and we fought off mosquitos, so dress accordingly. Our guide was full of knowledge and charisma. I recommend booking a time slot ahead of time. Can’t get over the stunning fur patterns I saw, as an animal print lover.

This is the most amazing place ever. The staff cares so much about these animals and they want for nothing. The cats are amazingly cared for in immaculate enclosures full of enrichment and are fed only the best human grade food. It is obvious to anyone who comes that the cats are loved and treated wonderfully. This facility also offers opportunities to see cats that many people have never seen before (like an Amur leopard and clouded leopards). It also offers opportunities for the public to get closer to the cats like walking with the cheetahs on enrichment walks or shadowing a keeper for the day. This is a truly one of a kind facility doing amazing things for the conservation of these species

Really amazing tour! The cats are adorable and very well cared for. Panther Ridge is a not for profit organization, so the tour fee helps them cover operating costs. The guides are very well informed and it’s a great opportunity to learn about different types of cats and support conservation.

WOW!! What a cool experience!!! I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful cat sanctuary! I can't say enough good things about this rescue. We did the guided tour with Hannah and she was so knowledgeable and the cats really loved her! They are well taken care of here and you can tell they are happy cats!!! I learned so much and enjoyed watching the cats. The whole team here is great! The pricing for the tours is very fair and I cannot wait to come back & see these beautiful cats again. They have a nice gift shop to purchase t-shirts and souvenirs also. If you are ever in south Florida, make a reservation to come here, you will not regret it!

My daughter and I did the group tour today. There were a total of 6 guests. You start off under a pavilion and give a thorough description of the tour. They also offer umbrellas to stay out of the sun. My observations were that most areas were shaded by trees. They also sell bottled water, but we brought our own as recommended. They have a restroom there and a ramp leading up to it, but we did not use. Taylor and her assistant Emma were fabulous and took the time to answer any questions after each cat. As was expected, it was an hour on the nose, from 1 to 2. Definitely recommend for all ages, but they ask for no quick movements or loud noises, so take that as you may if you have small children.

This place is amazing, especially if you are a person who loves cats/animals! Highly recommend a visit supporting a great facility, knowledgeable staff, very educational and they are doing great things with cat conservation. You can tell they all love what they do and the animals are well cared for and have good enrichment opportunities. Thank you so much for a great day, can’t wait to come back.
