Big Cats
At this time, EARS does not currently house any cougar residents, but our mission to protect and provide sanctuary to these majestic animals remains strong. As space, resources, and need align, we remain ready to accept cougar rescues who have no safe place to go.
Our Residents
Known by many names , mountain lion, puma, panther, or catamount, the cougar is one of the most widely distributed large cats in the Western Hemisphere. Their adaptability has allowed them to survive in a variety of climates, but unfortunately, it hasn’t protected them from the consequences of human interference.
From illegal pet ownership and roadside attractions to habitat loss and exploitation, cougars frequently suffer in captivity often without any hope of release back into the wild.
