A Gift That Does Double Duty!

Encourage all to “Protect What You Love,” promote conservation while supporting the beautiful animals in our care.

Just in time for the gift-giving season, we are excited to launch our second t-shirt campaign. This one-of-a-kind design, created by several of our talented volunteers, features three renderings of our amazing residents: Coty the lion, Iyo the tiger, and Koya the cougar. The proceeds of this sale will directly fund our viability efforts, so we can continue providing a forever home to big cats in need far into the future.

At $25 each (shipping not included), there are a variety of colors in three shirt styles: two regular t-shirts and one v-neck. You can pre-order now until December 4th. Shirts will be mailed directly to you 7 – 10 business days after the end of the campaign which will ensure they make it in time for your holiday celebrations!

A Special Legacy – CFAR’s Brick Program

Memories are engraved in stone to show a level of commitment either to a person, place or object. At Central Florida Animal Reserve, there is no doubt you feel a connection – to the cats, the environment and the mission – to address the challenges big cats face in the future while providing value to society today.

Our brick program gives you the opportunity to have a permanent place in CFAR’s history. As our facility expands, we want to recognize those who have made a positive impact on the success of our mission. Consider placing a brick as a memorial, a tribute, or symbol of your commitment to future generations!

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!

We are in need of your support to help continue our commitment and conservation to the residents of Central Florida Animal Reserve.
