Big Cat Encounters, Inc.

Big Cat Encounters, Inc. is a state of Nevada, registered nonprofit corporation established to educate the public of the perils facing the Bengal Tiger and other species that are in danger of extinction.

In 1961, an estimated 28,00 Bengal Tigers populated the jungles of India and Sumatra. Largely due to poaching, only approximately 2,000 of these exquisite creatures live in the wild today.

Big Cat Encounters, Inc. breeds and raises tigers to populate the natural habitat. Now you can enjoy the photo experience of a lifetime while helping to ensure these noble beasts will remain on our planet for generations to come.
