I love cats of all sizes they truly are he greatest of the animals, and make such loving devoted family members..;).

You'd think that with all the organizations now working to save big cats that we could get more done. It's just so hard to turn back powerful economic forces that result in poaching and to protect big animals that require big territory to thrive. With habitat shrinkage and lack of wealth in the remaining habitat countries, the threat is quite formidable. When big names like actor Leonardo DiCaprio get behind Save the Tiger, as he clearly has, it gives me more hope, but at the end of the day, you really have to wonder whether we have enough influence to turn this tide before it is too late. As we all know, once a certain critical mass in population size is lost, population collapse is all but inevitable.

loved this organization…..

There is no need to buy a big cat that can not be provided the care it needs..
Stella Gusman
Unless you are extremely wealthy to buy a big cat 600 pounds of meat a week, provide a huge caged piece of land, and can pay the veterinary bills for this big cat for the next 30 yrs….probably NOT a good idea

I have been able to get the Austin Zoo help with meat for the large cats through the capital area food bank, If you group is a non profit Please call them for meat, eggs and vegatables.

Surabaya zoo, in Indonesia has a very malnourished tiger! There animals are all starving to death, horribly. If you could look into it, that would be wonderful! 🙂

I just did a small donation through PayPal anything to help out, would love to give more but can’t get the Bitcoin donations to work and can’t find a BTC address.
Love the big cats at this rescue! Keep up the great work.

When I search Paypal, it doesn’t find this charity. Could you please check if it’s because I’m in Canada or if the Paypal method is broken?
BCR
We are a U.S. charity and if you want to donate via PayPal you might need to go to the U.S. version of the site and choose CustomerService@BigCatRescue.org as the payee.

I have been becoming increasingly aware of the fact that several years ago I encouraged the big cat industry by paying to let my nieces pose for pictures with baby tigers. I somehow knew it wasn’t quite right at the time, but the girls were so excited to see them, so I squashed my gut feeling and we paid their fees. After reading articles in your Big Cat Times magazines, I’m sick to think that I contributed at all to this industry.
My contribution today doesn’t quite make up for that, but I am happy to know that your organization is working hard to inform the public of this horrific industry and, of course, helping so many rescued animals in need! If there ever is a “next time” I see something like this, I will spread the word to everyone who can hear!!
Thank you, Big Cat Rescue team for all that you do. And thanks for putting our donation dollars to good work!
