Big Cat Rescue issues $CAT a freshly minted "alt coin", AKA "creator coin" to their millions of fans worldwide. Alt coins were invented in 2008 meaning “alternative to Bitcoin”. There are over 900 Altcoins that have been created since Bitcoin was first registered on 18 August 2008. $CAT is not a currency nor investment, but rather is a purr-ency and the first of its kind as a fan token for supporters of Big Cat Rescue. There are five other animal themed tokens to date: Dogecoin (dog), TrueFlip (dolphin), Nyancoin (cat), Pandacoin (panda) and Neucoin (squirrel) but none of these represent a fanbase for a non profit sanctuary nor an organization dedicated to protecting animals. Visit https://rally.io/creator/CAT/ be one of the first to collect this Big Cat Rescue fan coin. There are some exciting ideas for holders of $CAT, such as elite access to LIVE walkabouts and conversations with Carole Baskin and her crew of big cat lovers and keepers, discounts and first access to new merchandise and activities and so much more.  When you take action at BigCatAct.com you will get a Thank You link where you can claim some $ CAT just for doing the right thing in contacting your member of Congress.  SPEND the $ CAT for discounts on merch at BigCatRescue.biz or HOLD $ CAT for other op-purr-tunities on Clubhouse and in the membership section of BigCatRescue.org that is currently being built.Future plans include a big cat metaverse for virtual visits with the cats and each other based on $CAT holder's possession of the coin and NFTs which are launching in about two weeks. Carole Baskin says, "I'm investigating crypto currencies because I am concerned about the volume of US dollars that are being printed and distributed with nothing to back them up.  BitCoin is a decentralized, global protocol that enables any computer to send Bitcoin to any other computer in the world without an intermediary. Because there are thousands of computers simultaneously running the software with identical copies of the Bitcoin ledger, no company, government, or regulatory body can mess with it.At this point both the USD and BitCoin are fiat currencies, but at least BitCoin and other altcoins have scarcity built in and now there is much more broad adoption of them in our everyday lives. I like the idea of putting the power of money in the hands of the people, rather than banks and governments. Our new $CAT coin is not a currency for investment, but rather is a purr-ency of our fans to show their love for the cats and to reap the benefits of being our most forward thinking partners in creating a world where all wild cats live free." Rally.io accepts both crypto currencies and credit cards which makes it easy for people to investigate the crypto world for the first time. Baskin continues, "Our fan base is amazing and I just know they will push $CAT to the top of the charts so that others learn about saving big cats from the cruelty of captivity."

This is only the beginning!

Since the first adventure into Crypto Kitties in 2018 Carole Baskin, Founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue has been cultivating relationships with creators, developers and dreamers to create a world where all wild cats live free. Imagine a virtually connective world where people who love big cats can join with others and share access to the augmented reality ARzoo and the virtual reality game Big Cat Rescue VR and can collect all their favorite exotic cats, past and present. Gaming can reach younger audiences with the message that big cats are not to be held hostage, and virtual big cats could be pre programmed to resist such egomaniacal efforts through peeing on and constantly attacking their owners. (Just like in real life!) The ultimate goal of all of this is to end the abuse inherent in holding wildcats captive and creating remote camera feeds that bring the wild cats into your headsets and hands doing what they naturally do in the wild.
