​We’ve got some BIG NEWS for you! We are proud to bring you a never-before-seen automotive event featuring exotic cars and exotic animals. Sarasota Cars & Coffee Gone Wild will be a truly unique car show with opportunities beyond your wildest dreams.

On Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 9:00am - 11:00am, the Big Cat Habitat in Sarasota, Florida will be transformed into an exotic car playground where you’ll see millions of dollars in exotic and specialty cars surrounded by lions, tigers, bears and so much more.

The Big Cat Habitat Conservation and Education Center is a diverse zoological park located just minutes from historic downtown Sarasota and the pristine beaches that we all love! Sitting on 20+ acres, Big Cat Habitat, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, welcomes over 50,000 guests annually to encounter, experience, and fall in love with over 350 animals spanning more than 60 different species. 

Founded in 1987 by Kay Rosaire, the non-profit sanctuary is a permanent home for dozens of exotic animals, offers placement for animals in need, and works to educate the public about animal care and conservation. Big Cat Habitat is a labor of love, with all income generated by admission going to the feeding and care of the animals. So what better way to raise awareness and those much needed donations than to bring together two things everyone loves: Exotic Car and Exotic Animals!

We have three different ticket options to register your vehicle, with our highest level ticket including a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a private photoshoot with YOUR exotic car and either Zuri the cheetah, or one of the baby lion cubs by our professional photographer Michael Bartley. This is truly something you will cherish for the rest of your lives.

A limited number of VIP ticket options will allow you to park your car INSIDE the Habitat, right alongside those big cats. Included with every car show registration is full access to the Big Cat Habitat for the day, 3 photo encounter passes where you’ll get up close and personal with a variety of exotic animals, a swag bag with hundreds of dollars of gifts, free coffee and some amazing sponsor displays. This event is for exotic and high end specialty/sports cars only. Pre-Approval is required and VIP participants will be hand selected by our approval committee.

Sarasota Cars & Coffee Gone Wild will also be open to spectators for a donation of $20 per car at the main gate. This includes full access to the cars and the Habitat. The most important part of the day is that 100% of all ticket sales, sponsorships and donations will directly benefit the Big Cat Habitat and the animals that call this place home.
