The AdvoCat Newsletter is sent out monthly to our subscribers and posted online for free. Please preserve these as they are a month by month history of the sanctuary.
Saluting you Big Cat Rescuer, Hope you had a happy 4th. Please forgive me if this issue of the AdvoCat seems like it is less our usual quality. There were a number of last minute changes and, as always, just too much news to include. A lot of great volunteers and staff should have been…
The summer months are usually a bit slower around the sanctuary. The cats are more laid back, the school field trips are over for the season and tours are usually slower as families are away for vacation. This year has been different. Things are just hopping around here and we see just as many out of…
We just had the biggest attendance April in our history. Usually March is our busiest month, but this year April’s guest list even beat that tough record. The most popular reason people give for their visit is that they heard about us from a friend. That’s YOU, so Thank you and keep up the good…
What an amazing year so far! We have been blessed to have the continued support of so many individuals, businesses and organizations during a time of catastrophic financial fears.

I am not invested in stocks (thankfully) but I remember the days that followed 9/11 when tourism and donations to the sanctuary stopped. Just stopped. The days turned into weeks, and…
Greetings Friend of Big Cat Rescue! I am so thankful to all of you for helping us reach a tipping point in the battle to protect exotic cats. There is a great shift taking place right before our eyes and it is only because of you, our most loyal supporters and AdvoCats that this is happening. …
Greetings Friend of Big Cat Rescue! Thinking about Mother’s Day, my own mother, my daughter and all of the extended family I am blessed with in the cats, volunteers and supporters of Big Cat Rescue, I was looking for a quote to sum it up here. I found that purr-fect sentiment in Albert Schweitzer’s words,…
Greetings Friend of Big Cat Rescue! Spring is budding beautiful at Big Cat Rescue and the sound of cat calls echo along the paths. It’s a good time to visit before the Florida summer begins to sizzle. As usual there are far too many exciting things going on at the sanctuary and in the movement…
