Welfare-
Your membership helps fund the costs of providing the best possible day to day care of our resident cats. Everything from their food, the construction and maintenance of species specific enclosures and payment of veterinary and dental fees. These are all vital in providing our cats with excellent welfare.
-
Breeding-
The Big Cat Sanctuary are proud to be part of global coordinated breeding programmes. We are actively contributing to the preservation of genetic diversity within captive populations of endangered wild cats who are at risk of extinction. Cubs born at the Sanctuary have moved all around the world including Japan, USA and Europe.
-
Education-
Education plays a key role in helping us to fulfil our mission and four pillars of ethos. We aim to educate and inspire people to care about wild cat conservation. Whether in the form of tours, visits or educational workshops for schools, we believe that learning about endangered species equips us to help protect our wildlife.
-
Conservation-
Your membership at The Big Cat Sanctuary supports over 20 conservation projects across the world. You'll help protect threatened species and their habitats, support local communities, assist in vital research and contribute towards front-line conservation initiatives.
-
Rescue-
Our rescue work ranges from complex international relocations such as our Ukrainian Big Cats in Crisis Campaign to emergency interventions closer to home like our small cat rescue from Cats Survival Trust.
