About The Big Cat Sanctuary

The Big Cat Sanctuary was founded in 2000; it is a charity focused on the conservation and rescue of cats. The Sanctuary is home to around 40 cats representing 12 different species, many of which are listed as at risk of extinction by the IUCN Red List.

Their mission is built on five pillars: Welfare, Breeding, Education, Conservation and Rescue. They are committed to providing the best possible care for their resident cats, contributing to breeding programmes, offering sanctuary to retired cats, rescuing cats in need and offering a diverse education programme.

They fulfil their core values by rescuing cats from adverse environments providing them with specialised care and a forever home, collaborating with global conservation organisations, making donations to support in-situ conservation strategies and by delivering education on the preservation of wildlife and habitats around the world.
