My Travel Story

This trip is about taking care of injured large cats and other wild animals and learning more about them in the process. My goal has revolved around increasing the population of large cats -- as well as awareness of their dwindling numbers -- to prevent extinction of the most beautiful and majestic creature of the wild. This dream started when I heard about their endangered title, and has continued by my education in the Pre-Vet field at college. The next step is a study abroad trip with these animals. By volunteering to take care of just a few large cats, I will gain knowledge and experience to allow me to make an even bigger impact on the wild cat community.
