We care for big cats and fund conservation to protect them from worldwide extinction

Story

The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent is working to help save some of the most endangered cats in the World from extinction, housing over 50 - from the largest, the Amur Tiger to the most endangered, the Amur Leopard. We are part of coordinated international breeding programmes to help maintain a healthy captive population, in the hope that ultimately they will be released into their natural habitat to mix with their counterparts in the wild. To keep our site quite and tranquil we offer personal big cat experiences by appointment only.

Hi and thank you for visiting. I recently had the chance to see first hand the amazing work that the BCS do to help our ever shrinking wild cat population with their outstanding commitment to conservation, preservation, care and re-population of Big Cats. I will be supporting the BCS by raising £2k to do volunteer work with them in October helping with their conservation work overseas. All of this money goes straight to the BCS, it's not funding for my trip. (I will be covering my own flights and expenses on top of the £2k fundraising) Fund-raising is a condition of visiting the project.

I plan to do something different each month. Starting in Jan 2020 with Dry January. Each month I will try something different to raise this money, for me to then give something back by volunteering for them in October 2020

Want to know more, about how I'll be helping in Kenya, with some of the projects they run?
