Outside Panama City, this unique facility with an emphasis on conservation, preservation and education, provides 'forever homes' for a total of 24 exotic felines from around the world. Each cat is assigned to an individual handler, and if getting up close and personal with majestic panthers, bobcats and lynxes gets you purring, a visit to the center is a must. Tours are by appointment only. The center is about 14 miles north of Panama City, and 24 miles inland.
