#### 'Cat'ch the new event at Papillion Days By: Bethany Fischer, Times Staff Writer 06/11/2008 Updated 06/11/2008 03:49:20 PM EDT

Members of the community will have an opportunity to get close to some wild cats at Papillion Days. The Great Cat Adventures, a traveling show that takes wild cats to festivals across the nation, is coming to the event, June 12 through 15. Its motto is "preservation through education and entertainment," and funding comes from booking shows, said Rachael Cascio, executive director of the Papillion Community Foundation. The Great Cat Adventures has a nonprofit wildlife rescue in Atoka, Okla., where the cats, many from abusive homes, can live in safety, according to www.greatcatadventures.com. Only cats 18-months-old and younger are part of the shows. After that, they are retired to the wildlife preserve. People will be able to see a royal white Bengal tiger, Bengal tiger, black leopard, spotted leopard, cougar, African serval and two baby tigers. In addition, those who would like to can get their pictures taken with the two baby tigers for $18. Cascio assured the public that the Papillion Community Foundation's and City of Papillion's first concern is safety. All of the cats will be in cages underneath tents with fencing. Due to safety, no parking will be allowed in the City Park parking lot. The Great Cat Adventures will be west of City Park and people can easily walk right from the vendors to the cats, Cascio said.

Note: The Wildlife Preserve, as they call it has not been built and isn't scheduled to be built until 2009. Their plan to use baby big cats and then warehouse them should not be condoned. The people who claim on the website to be behind this are:
