My hometown of Roseburg, Oregon, USA has an AZA-accredited non-profit wildlife park dedicated to education, conservation and research, with an estimable Cheetah program:

"...Wildlife Safari began breeding cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) in 1972 and successfully produced a litter the following year. Since then, 178 cheetahs have been born at the park."

My grandfather lived in Roseburg and donated several old horses to the Wildlife Safari! Sadly, I've never been.

Cool place: rather than have the animals in cages, you drive through the park in your car.

We drove down there once from Eugene, and my parents' crappy VW bus, which was always breaking down, broke down right in the middle of the lion area. Luckily, they are equipped for these things and they towed us out.
