Most Daring Rescue Ever!
Nine exotic cats and two other wild animals were confiscated from a dilapidated Atchison, Kansas, property yesterday after authorities discovered that the animals had been abandoned in their enclosures without access to food or clean water. The Atchison County Sheriff’s Office seized one tiger, two cougars, three bobcats, two lynx, a serval and two skunks under the state’s Dangerous Regulated Animals Act and the animal cruelty code.

Big Cats Do What Little Cats Do
http://youtu.be/AT3pm_d7ACE
Check in on Flavio and SARMOTI the old tigers, and then check out dinner time for Amanda, Andre and Arthur the tigers. Spy on Doodles and Zouletta, the servals in love and then see a long and extremely rare few minutes of Tommie Girl the bobcat. Watch Pharaoh the white serval rub around "table" legs, and Anasazie bobcat pounce after a lizard, see cougars stalking, pouncing and then rubbing their cheeks against the wall, as if to say, "Just kidding." See our Read More
Running Bear
RUNNING BEAR
Male Bobcat
DOB 6/2/97
Running Bear and Little White Dove are the exception to the rule when it comes to wildcats living solitary lives.
One of our senior volunteers watched as these two young bobcats bonded and chose to live together. They now share a cat-a-tat that features high limbs for them to climb and sleep upon.
The higher the perch, the better they seem to like it. These two always prefer a room with a view!

Sassyfrass Cougar
Sassyfrass Male Cougar DOB 1/1/1998 Arrived at Big Cat Rescue 11/17/2010 If only they could speak to us in a language that we understand. Then we might know the horrors they have survived and be more inclined to protect others from enduring their fate. I'll share with you what I do know and hope that will inspire you to help these cougars and to do all you can to end the trade in exotic cats. Back in the 90s, farmers Al and Kathy Abell, decided to start a breeding facility called Cougar Read MoreNarla
NARLA Female Cougar
DOB 1/1/97
Arrived 1/8/2010
Rescue of Narla the Cougar:
This is a letter from someone who knew the Loppi's. This person below, wanted us to know that Rob was well intended and I post it here as an example of how even the best intentions usually end up bad for the exotic animal.
According to a number of emails I got after the fact, Rob's wife was looking to euthanize the cat, but Rob's friends, family and the media were on her case and she couldn't do it without looking like a monster Read More
Mac
MAC
Male Cougar
DOB 9/2/96
Mac was brought here by his owner to be boarded because of zoning laws changing in his owner’s home town, but that was many years ago. He now has a permanent home at Big Cat Rescue and enjoys a 1200 square foot lush Cat.a.tat with a large cave den.
Mac has a particular penchant for small children, as do most big cats. Big cats see children as potential prey and having a big cat as a pet is a recipe for disaster. When a group comes by on a guided tour, Mac always picks out the Read More
Little White Dove
LITTLE WHITE DOVE
Female Bobcat
DOB 5/19/97
Little White Dove is well known for her beautiful golden eyes. She chose to bond and live with Running Bear. Though she was once food aggressive, as so many of the wildcats here are, she now defers to Running Bear at feeding time. She will even allow him to be fed before her.
During the day, they spend much of their time perched high up in their tree sleeping. Seeing them up there, it is easy for guests to understand the nocturnal nature of bobcats and how easily they can camouflage Read More
Desiree
DESIREE Female Serval
DOB unknown
Arrived at Big Cat Rescue 10/11/2009
Serval Rescue! An African Serval was limping along in the Arizona desert until she collapsed alongside a road.
She had almost completely given up the will to live. She was probably a pet or perhaps used in the hybrid breeding scheme that has become all the rage where Servals are bred to domestic house cats to produce Savannah Cat hybrids. The domestic cats are often killed in the process. The kittens sell for thousands of dollars, but when Read More
