Why Choose to Donate to Big Cat Rescue?
Because 100% of of your donations goes to the cats. Our modest administrative and fundraising fees, which are a significant factor in our four star rating on Charity Navigator, have been covered by other sources of revenue. Until COVID-19 in 2020 it was the tour revenue. Now it is investment income.
We're proud to be a 4-star charity as per Charity Navigator, cementing our place as one of the most transparent and financially responsible nonprofits in the game.
Even though all of our cats were relocated to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge by the end of 2023, where we spent nearly two million dollars to build them much larger cages, we are still responsible for funding their lifetime food and vet care.
