Big Cat Updates

4/14/2017

With these older picky cats they choose what they want to eat and keepers work hard trying to figure out what they want.  Right now, TJ is on a “turkey pieces’ kick.  Because of that, Afton prepared him a special box of them in the freezer and prepared a box of them in the walk-in cooler to thaw.  LOL, she put Post-It notes on them so everyone knows those are reserved JUST FOR TJ!

Cameron ate really well.

Here at the sanctuary there is a LOT of trees, and I do mean a LOT of trees.  While this means plenty of shade for the cats it also means there is a TON of raking to do.  On a 67 acre sanctuary with this many trees you can only imagine how much raking there is to be done.  Keepers, interns, and volunteers have been raking up a storm and it appears they will be raking all weekend, too.

Note To Viewers:  Keepers want to THANK YOU to EVERYONE who sent them snacks and refreshments!!  They have REALLY been enjoying them, especially after a hot afternoon of raking, raking, RAKING.  You all have made our volunteers feel very appreciated!!!

Carole just added this Tribute to Angie Bobcat.  THANK YOU to those viewers who requested Angie Tribute items.  Click on one of the screenshots to go to the page to see this item.

The proceeds from this gift shop go to help support our legislative efforts to get new laws passed that will end the abuse and exploitation of big cats and their babies.

Walkabout with Kathryn, Carole, and gift shop volunteers PART TWO:  We have some cats who are not on the tour path and the volunteers in the gift shop only see the cats they can see from the tour path.  Pam suggested a special behind the barricade tour for the gift shop volunteers that never get to see those cats.

After Sioux and Lakota arrived at Big Cat Rescue, they were taken in for a medical exam. See how it went, and then they get reunited for the first time since their rescue.

Wyeth Bobcat Runs Free:

Watch as we set free another one of our rehab bobcats. Wyeth was released back to the wild where she belongs after being brought in after being hit by a car. Thank you to Deputy Wyeth for rescuing this bobcat and bringing her to Big Cat Rescue!
