Message from the Founder:
Dear Friends:

Much has happened since April 1, 2000, when BCFC was established under the giant oak trees here in the Bear Creek Community. We have logged thousands of hours to obtain five licenses and we now make permanent homes to twenty two exotic felines. Working with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, the USDA and

For Immediate Release

Panama City, FL – Bear Creek Feline Center (BCFC), founded in 2000 by Jim and Bertie Broaddus, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Bay County. Through the generosity of big cat supporters, BCFC has accumulated various high-quality donations over the years, which will now be regifted to Habitat for Humanity to support their retail stores in Panama City and Panama City Beach. The regifting event will take place on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at 9:00 AM CT at Bear Creek Feline Center in Panama City, FL. Items include a 7-Up vending machine, furniture, clothing, FEMA blankets, art, toys, and more.

This collaboration not only supports BCFC’s ongoing mission of providing care for Class I and Class II felidae but also helps Habitat for Humanity’s efforts in providing affordable housing to families in need. “Since we are not in retail, it’s difficult to have a sale on our property. Habitat for Humanity has several stores that cater to families. We are excited to pass these quality items on to them,” said Jared Williams, Advanced Feline Handler, here at Bear Creek Feline Center.

Event Coordination: Bertie Broaddus will oversee the event, with BCFC staff assisting in loading the items for Habitat’s truck. Visitors may even hear some of the resident big cats during the event.

About Bear Creek Feline Center:
BCFC is a licensed sanctuary by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission and the USDA, focused on wildlife conservation and education. BCFC provides homes for big cats and gives the community opportunities to connect with nature and endangered species.

About Habitat for Humanity of Bay County:
Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing, welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds to support this vital mission.
