Where is Big Cat Rescue located?
Big Cat Rescue is at 12802 Easy St, Tampa, FL 33625 in Hillsborough County.
What are the hours of Big Cat Rescue?
No opening hours are on record. Call at (813) 920-4130 or check its website before visiting; many shelters keep separate hours for adoptions, intake and lost-pet searches.
How do I adopt from Big Cat Rescue?
Start on bigcatrescue.org, where most shelters and rescues list their adoptable animals and application form. Expect an application, a meeting with the animal and an adoption fee, which usually covers spay or neuter surgery, first vaccinations and a microchip. Rescues often place animals from foster homes, so meetings are by appointment.
Can I surrender a pet to Big Cat Rescue?
Call the shelter before you bring an animal in. Many shelters and most rescues take owner surrenders by appointment only, some charge a surrender fee, and some keep a waiting list. Ask whether they offer a rehoming program or pet food and vet assistance first; many surrenders can be avoided with short-term help. The municipal animal control shelter is usually required to accept animals from residents of its city or county.
