About Us
The C.A.R.E. Foundation serves two functions, that of a Wildlife Sanctuary and that of an Educational Facility. Each of these has a specific set of goals.
As a Wildlife Sanctuary, The CARE Foundation:
- Provides a safe and permanent home for non-domestic, non-releasable animals.
- Provides a hands-on learning environment for those interested in careers in animal care.
- Provides a resource center aiding those already faced with issues concerning captive wildlife.
- Networks with other like-minded wildlife facilities to help place and care for exotic animals in need of a home.
- When needed, aids Florida Fish and Wildlife and local Animal Control Agencies with Amnesty Programs, Confiscations, Relocations, and Emergency or Disaster Relief.
As an Educational Facility, The C.A.R.E Foundation:
- Provides Educational Wildlife Programs for school children, civic groups, boys and girls clubs, tour groups and family functions.
- Provides Educational Displays for corporate events, conventions, trade shows and community events.
- Educates the public on current and proposed issues and regulations concerning the care of Captive Wildlife.
- Educates the public on current conservation and environmental issues from habitat loss and climate change to specific issues concerning endangered and threatened species.
