Forever Remembered
Each one of the cats who have come to Big Cat Rescue had a story to tell. You
can keep the spirit of their message alive by remembering them in our cemetery
with a memorial marker that includes their photo, dates of birth and
death, and your name as their forever sponsor.
These markers are 8 x 8 inch black marble with the photo and text engraved by laser so it will never fade. For a donation of $500.00 you can have your name added as the forever sponsor.
If you would like to be the Forever Sponsor of Sultan the Ocelot, Shatia the Canada Lynx or Anastasia the Siberian Lynx you can make a donation of $500.00 online HERE
You have 30 spaces for names and note. Thank you for remembering these wonderful cats and helping the living. Only the first sponsor will be selected. You can call to see if anyone else has sponsored her first at 813.920.4130.

If all the cats who have passed on have a plaque at the time of your donation, we will advise you and have your name engraved on the next needed plaque. Being on this short waiting list is a wonderful way to help us immediately memorialize a cat we lose and is tremendously appreciated.
Seeing this long, arching wall of big cats who were born in cages and died in cages has had a powerful effect on visitors and you can help us remember the cats we love and share their stories by sponsoring them "forever." You can also commemorate your own pet in the same way HERE

See what one donor had to say after seeing a picture of her memorial to Kahlua:
"The wall looks beautiful! I can't wait until I'm in Tampa again to see it. I really enjoyed my visit to Big Cat Rescue back in November. Everyone there does a wonderful job making life great for the cats. If I lived in the area, I would want to be a part of the volunteer group. Thanks again for the great work you do for the cats and for educating the public about why wild animals should not be kept as pets or used for entertainment." - Joanne Kramer
