RESCUE & EMERGENCY SERVICES

 

---

 

 

Great Cats of Indiana functions as a rescue and placement facility for large cats and other carnivores that are displaced due to neglect,  abandonment, abuse or legal matters. We provide emergency housing, placement, adoption, capture, re-capture and transportation services.  We also have holding and quarantine facilities available as needed to provide safe, secure housing, and care to prevent the needless killing or injuring of these animals.  Our facilities are utilized by local, state and federal law enforcement and animal control agencies from across the country. We are also called upon by private organizations, and even individual owners when  emergencies arise. We are available 24 hours a day, every day for rescues, captures or emergency consultations.

 

TO CONTACT US IN AN EMERGENCY

In the event of an emergency involving a big cat or other large carnivore, call us at: (574) 943-3412.  We usually have someone to answer our phone 24 hours a day. Should you not get an answer, be sure to leave a message.  Someone is ALWAYS on our property, we just may be in the barn, or with a cat and couldn't get to the phone.   Our normal business hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. E.S.T.    Please email us for general information or questions outside of our normal business hours.

There are a few things we get regular calls about that fall outside the realm of our ability or responsibility, and that we cannot help you with. Please don't call us if you are concerned about someone else's cat or facility, contact the regulatory agency for your area instead. Please don't call us asking to buy a cat, or asking how to get a "pet" cat. We don't support pet ownership of exotic cats and won't sell any of our cats.
