Have you ever...

looked a lion in the eye?
walked alongside a tiger?
heard wolves howl?
dogs sing?

Visitors to the Conservators’ Center are always awed. You get so close to these amazing animals you can feel their power.

The Center is a rescue and conservation breeding facility located north of Mebane, North Carolina. It’s an unexpected setting for the largest collection of big cats in the state. For some, we are their home of last resort. We’re equally excited about our lesser-known species: binturongs, servals, caracals, and New Guinea singing dogs.
