C.A.R.E. Foundation

The C.A.R.E. Foundation is a private wildlife sanctuary in Central Florida dedicated to providing safe, permanent homes for non-releasable exotic animals. The sanctuary houses more than 200 animals, including big cats, monkeys, reptiles, and crocodilians, while its broader mission combines animal care with conservation awareness and education. Rather than functioning as a conventional zoo, the foundation's focus is on sanctuary residents and the educational work surrounding their care.

Visitors can experience the sanctuary through several guided and educational programs, including the King of the Jungle Tour, VIP Animal Ambassador experiences, field trips, group outings, and a Caretaker for a Day program. The foundation also offers a Zoo to You program that brings animal education beyond the sanctuary. These programs provide different levels of access to the animals and emphasize learning about wildlife and responsible animal care. The C.A.R.E. Foundation is particularly suited to travelers interested in sanctuary work, exotic animals, and smaller-scale educational encounters rather than a broad zoo collection.
