Meet the Residents of our Big Cat and Exotic Animal Sanctuary in San Diego, California

Lions Tigers & Bears is an exotic animal rescue and big cat sanctuary located just 45 minutes from downtown San Diego in Alpine, California. Our idyllic sanctuary, nestled on the edge of the Cleveland National Forest, provides peace and tranquility for more than 60 rescued exotic animals - including big cats and bears - who can live out the rest of their lives with dignity in a caring, safe and natural environment. Set on 93 beautiful acres, our sanctuary is home to lions, tigers, American and Himalayan black bears, grizzly bears, bobcats, mountain lions, servals, leopards, llamas, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, peacocks, and a macaw. With expansive species-specific habitats, we offer shelter to formerly abused and abandoned exotic animals.
