CFAR & Beyond

For more than 20 years, Central Florida Animal Reserve (CFAR) has served as a big cat sanctuary to lions, tigers, cougars and other large cats.

In an effort to educate the public on conservation of these incredible big cats, Central Florida Animal Reserve has partnered up with Positively Osceola to create a free educational animal web series. Over the course of each episode, you’ll be able to learn about the residents that live at CFAR, the support that goes into taking care of them, and more facts about them!
