On Saturday June 29, the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound’s Feline Conservation Center will be hosting its “Twilight Tour” special event. The Twilight Tour is a special evening open house where visitors can walk around parts of the compound which are not normally open to the public. The cats are naturally more active in the evening, and we give them special enrichment treats and toys during this event. There is a raffle, a barbeque by the Rotary club and other surprises, like goldfish in the fishing cat ponds and watermelons for the jaguars. There’s something different every time, and of course lots of beautiful cats to see, hear and photograph.

Tickets are $20 per person. Doors open at 5 p.m. for prepaid ticket purchases, and 5:30 p.m. for those who wish to pay at the gate. The event continues until it is dark outside. All visitors to the Twilight Tour must be at least 18 years of age.

Advance tickets can be purchased online at june-twilight-tour.eventbrite.com.

Twilight Tour tickets can also be purchased directly from EFBC by telephone (661) 256-3793 or in person on the day of the event.
