Our Mission and Purpose

The primary purpose and mission of the Siesta Court Animal Exhibition Center is:

−        To provide access and contact to exotic cats through exhibition, outreach, and teaching

Additional, secondary purposes are:

−        To provide the best home and care we can for exotic and hybrid exotic animals in our facility.

−        To provide a safe, non-stressful transition for research animals to a supportive and caring environment

−        To improve the fate of exotic cats worldwide by teaching people about the plight of exotic cats, including in the wild, in research, and in captivity, and how they can help through their behavior, actions, and support of programs, facilities, and regulations worldwide to protect exotic cats.
