Florida law requires that all charities soliciting donations disclose their registration number and the percentage of your donation that goes to the cause and the amount that goes to the solicitor. Our registration number is CH-11409 and non-program expenses are funded from tour income, so 100% of your donations go directly to save the cats. We are a 501 c 3 charity as determined by the IRS Federal ID#59-3330495. Our 990s are available online at GuideStar.org with a complete breakdown of how your donations are spent.

Clouded Leopards

Malachi.JPG (318694 bytes)Malachi

Male Clouded Leopard came to Big Cat Rescue as a temporary boarder.  He seemed to enjoy Life on Easy Street!  There are only 195 Clouded Leopards in captivity and of those only 111 in the SSP breeding program.  At the 1999 Felid TAG meeting it was revealed by a study conducted on 32 Clouded Leopards, something we have believed all along:  Cats that are hand raised are much happier and less stressed in captivity.  Penny Andrews was instrumental in supplying data for this research.

Sadly, Malachi died from Aden carcinoma, a incurable cancer in June 2000. He didn't suffer as you can see from these photos below taken the week before his diagnosis.

 

 
Can you guess if this fur is tiger, lion, leopard, jaguar, or which big cat? 
Your donation is the gift of life, and a second chance for lions, tigers, cougars and more!
