Forest Animal Rescue is a Florida-based nonprofit wild animal sanctuary dedicated to the lifelong care of abused, neglected, confiscated, or unwanted wild animals, including big cats, wolves, bears, primates, and other small wild species. The organization operates as a true sanctuary, avoiding buying, selling, breeding, or relocating animals for exhibition, and it does not function as a public zoo; instead, it provides a peaceful home focused on the animals’ well-being, with exclusive guided tours offered twice a month for a limited number of visitors. The sanctuary holds full licensing and accreditation from the American Sanctuary Association and the World Society for the Protection of Animals, and it is licensed by state, federal, and wildlife authorities, underscoring its regulatory compliance and welfare standards. Based in Silver Springs, Florida, the organization emphasizes education about the animals’ circumstances, human-wildlife conflicts, and the broader plight of wild species, while maintaining a policy of restricted access to showcase internal sanctuary operations. As a small nonprofit within the broader animal welfare and sanctuary sector, it operates alongside other organizations focused on animal protection and conservation, with a clearly defined mission to provide lifelong sanctuary care rather than public exhibitions.
