Overview of Idea

Every year we receive many requests for tours of the facility for children with special needs, the elderly and people with disabilities. Many of the requests have to be denied because they often cannot tour the 22 acres without difficulty or assistance.

The Specifics: What will the $2,000 fund?

Our cats become very agitated when wheelchairs or other assisting devices are present. Also, a lot of the elderly or people with disabilities are not able to walk on their own around the large facility. The use of a golf cart would provide a safe vehicle for these visitors to tour the center without causing the cats any stress. We would not have to deny these visitors the pleasure of being up close and personal with some of the most amazing animals on the planet. They could hear all about our cats and conservation and welfare efforts while gazing into the eyes of a tiger, lion, leopard or mountain lion.

You are either a fool or a troll. CARE takes in sick, abused and injured big cats so that they can live out their lives in comfort where they are not abused and mistreated. They also teach people about these amazing animals and give people the opportunity to see, up close, animals that they would otherwise be unable to see in person. Do some research about the facility before posting your ignorant comments.

BRILLIANT, SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE IDEA. WHAT A JOY IT WILL BE FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT WALK AROUND THE FACILITY TO BE ABLE TO SEE EACH AND EVERY LION, TIGER, LEOPARD, ETC. WONDERFUL!!

As someone that has visited CARE with an assisted device, I can attest to the facility's need for this golf cart. It is one of the BEST big cat rescues I have visited (and I have visited many); it would be a shame for someone to not be able to experience their tour simply because they are disabled. Please vote for this project!

As a person with a disabled body, this is not a frivolous purchase.

This is a great chance for young children, students with disabilities, and the elderly to be able to experience these animals up close and personal and learn about their lives and become advocates for their welfare. Please help CARE get this golf-cart, it would be a great gift to many!
