Panther Ridge Conservation Center is dedicated to providing a lifetime home and superior care for exotic felines that have been abandoned, abused, or neglected. Our animal residents represent many different species, including some species which are classified as highly endangered by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).



Panther Ridge Conservation Center provides public education concerning
the challenges these animals face in the wild, the problems related to private
ownership, and the programs that are trying to help these animals reestablish
their populations. Panther Ridge Conservation Center believes that cooperative captive
breeding programs, in situ conservation projects, and reintroduction programs
will be the foundation upon which the repopulation of endangered feline species
will be based.
For endangered species whose numbers have reached
critical low numbers in the wild, captive breeding programs provide them with
future options while in action would only ensures their demise.
Panther Ridge Conservation Center participates and collaborates
in conservation programs worldwide with other organizations. We will be expanding
our education programs in the future to include information regarding the
worldwide conservation efforts in which Panther Ridge Conservation Center and other
feline organizations are involved. We want to raise awareness of these efforts
and encourage our visitors to get involved.
