The cats are shut in the roofed sections until tomorrow.

W@W! Just, W@W!!

L@@K What YOU DID!!

We want to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to each and every one of you who have been diligently sharing one or two of our YouTube videos, EVERY DAY!  YOU are not only helping us reach new viewers with our message about the cats and big cat issues, but you are also raising funds for the cats.

Often people ask how they can help, there are many ways to help that do not even cost money.  If you have some time and are interested in helping the cats through sharing a couple of our videos and posts each day please contact us at lawanna.mitchell@bigcatrescue.org to find out about various online volunteer opportunities.

Coordinator Report – Afton Tasler

What a rainy day, but we made it fun!!

Thank you to everyone that answered my plea for help, although the group tour ended up canceling. All other tours made it out today despite the rain.

Cameron Lion and Hoover Tiger weren’t too thrilled with all of the rain, so they decided to skip breakfast. Instead, they ate a pretty good lunch and dinner.

Food prep got done before lunch, so it left time for Tanya and Mazz to rake in front of Hoover Tiger both behind the barricade and tour path side.

A couple of people took classes, and lots of people got operant and enrichment sign-offs.

Amanda Tiger is doing well and loves lounging in her hay.

We had two carts full of boxes that all were unpacked and put up. Lots of supplies and bins.

Apollo, Siberian Lynx, LOVES his daily afternoon sicle!  When cats get really old, like Apollo, they begin having kidney issues. When that happens, staying well hydrated is even more important. To help with providing additional hydration all of the elderly cats get daily sicles. We have a lot of elderly cats so as you can imagine we make a LOT of sicles. Photo by Alyssa Engiles

***HISTORIC WIN FOR ANIMALS***

New Jersey just became the first state to ban the use of wild and exotic animals in the circus and traveling shows!!!

BCR has helped gain support for every iteration of Nosey’s Law, from sending action alerts to our supporters (prompting emails and phone calls) to having one of our very own outstanding AdvoCats directly involved in advocating for the bill’s passage. Congratulations to everyone involved and major kudos to our friends at Animal Defenders International and the Humane Society of the United States for their pivotal role in making this day happen!

This is just the first domino to fall… many more states to come and dare I say it, an end to big cats in the circus is in sight! What a grrrreat way to end the year! ???

      Yes, Donna, sharing our YoyTube videos encourages YouTube to show more people our videos in the ‘suggested videos’ column which helps us reach more people who have never heard of us or our mission. PLUS, the cats actually make some money each month from the display of the ads YouTiube puts on the videos.

      So sharing our YouTube videos helps spread our mission and helps raise funds for the cats.
