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 20 big cats representing nine 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. Learn More >>
This is my happy place. A well-kept facility that recently moved from Wellington and offers outdoor tours of their felines. You need to make a reservation for the hour-long tour with a keeper and will learn the histories of each individual cat and the species in general. I can't say enough good things about this non-profit and everyone that visited on my suggestion loved it!
– Lindsja on TripAdvisorWhat a great conservation center. Their staff is very compassionate to both animals and visitors. Their vision is so genuine and it is reflected in the animals well being and temperament. My daughter, her husband, and I enjoyed the tour and were fascinated by all the different breeds of cats. So neat and heartwarming!
– Kaulalani-Erika on TripAdvisorWhat an absolutely amazing visit! The staff is great, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. We visited several species of wild cats kept at the conservation center and learned about their stories. The group was small so the interaction was perfect. We also did the experience with the African Caracal and Serval. Would highly recommend this place if you enjoy wildlife, especially big cats.
– Cindylouhoo81 on TripAdvisorIf I could give more than five stars, I certainly would! I highly recommend this facility to adults and children of all ages. By far, one of the best things I've ever experienced and the photos I got were a huge plus. It was great to see how comfortable and happy the cats were and the love that Panther Ridge has for them. All proceeds go to helping and caring for these magnificent animals. Thank you for all that you do Panther Ridge!
– c0ralx3 on TripAdvisorEverything about this tour was fabulous— the cats were gorgeous and we got to see them from four feet away. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining and answered all our questions. Leisurely pace had us at an hour and a half from beginning to end. Great way to spend the day. Well worth every penny!
