Henry, left, walks around his shared enclosure as Ginger lays in one of the crates in the area at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Center Point, Ind. Many of the cats came from environments where there were many of them in tight, inadequate quarters and resources. In the center, cat are grouped together as needed with like personalities and given plenty of room and nutrients. Joe Taft, 71, opened and now houses upwards of 200 big cats in the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Center Point, Ind. The number of wild cats in captivity in the U.S. now outnumbers those in the wild world as their natural habitats are disappearing and more humans look to privately own them.
