 ACTION ALERT

PLEASE, Make the Call of the Wild!! It truly is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things you can do to save big cats and their babies from misery!

WOOHOO!!  THANK YOU!!!!  Over 1,000 Calls of the Wild have been made!!!

What is the Call of the Wild?  The Call of the Wild is a call to leave a message for lawmakers asking them to champion or co-sponsor The Big Cat Public Safety Act (Bill HR 1818)  It takes only a minute and you will more than likely be speaking to an answering machine.  Big Cat Rescue’s bill to end big cat abuse has been introduced in Congress! The Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R.1818) would end the private ownership and breeding of big cats.  Help us end big cat abuse by making the “Call of the Wild.” This is the most important thing you can do for the cats.

Two ways to make the call.  ONE:  Go to BigCatAct.com and fill out the form and click the CALL ME button. Then answer your phone when it rings and the system will automatically connect you to the Representative’s message machine or person.  TWO:  From your cell phone text the word CATS to 52886 to take action today! (Message and data rates may apply. Text Stop to opt-out. Help for help. )

What Our Bill Will Do  The Big Cat Public Safety Act would amend the Captive Wildlife Safety Act, which is part of the Lacey Act. It bans private ownership and breeding of big cats with limited exemptions.

How Do I Make the Call of the Wild?  Instructions are below, with a screenshot, too.

Is it hard?  It is VERY EASY!!

Does it take long?  It takes only couple minutes!!

Step by Step Instructions:

ONE: Go to BigCatAct.com Here is a screenshot of what you will see.

TWO:  Do you see the form on the right of that screenshot?  You simply type in your name, address, zip code, and phone number.  It IS SECURE!!

  • Why do I have to type in the info?  So the system can look up the phone number for the Representative for your area.

THREE:  Click the CALL ME button.

  • The system will automatically call your Representative for you.

FOUR:  Answer the phone.

  • You will be connected to either an answering machine or a person who is taking messages for your area’s Representative.

FIVE:  What do I say?  Well, that is easy, too.  It in just ONE sentence.

  • Hi my name is _____.  My zip code is _____.  Please ask your boss to co-sponsor the Big Cat Public Safety Act, H.R. 1818.

That is it!!  That is not hard.  That does not take much time.  But, YOUR CALL can make a HUGE difference.

The cats & cubs who are abused and exploited have no voice, they cannot make that call.

However, YOU CAN make the call for them!!  

Won’t YOU PLEASE make the Call of the Wild, for the cats, today.  You can even do it every week!!

Get more details at:  http://bigcatrescue.org/cta-call-wild/

Make the Call of the Wild at:  http://BigCatAct.com  It is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things you can do to save big cats and their babies for abuse and exploitation.


 Bobcat Rehab

Those of you who have been asking for more pix and video of Dr. Justin, viewer Janie Marshall recently found this older video.  I had completely forgotten about this funny video.   It is kind of funny watching Dr. Justin and Jamie working and laughing together working on our old bobcat rehab cage.  I just LOVE these two!!!!

Originally posted January 14, 2013:  Watch the newlyweds, Jamie Veronica and Dr. Justin Boorstein as they try to rehab an old cage for a new exotic cat resident.

Now that we have had a fun trip down yesterday year, lets check out some current photos of Nova Bobcat.  She in in the new Bobcat Rehab Center now, and will be released soon to live wild and free.

 Foster Kitten Program

Another Kitten Cheat Sheet for you.  This on is from Viewer E-Train

Viewer Wolf Endlicher:  Playing in the Kitten Cabana

The domestic foster kitten live in intern housing with the interns.  They come to the Kitten Cabana to play during the day while the interns work caring for the big cats.  When the interns have breaks, they go in the Kitten Cabana to play with their precious little foster kittens.  These little foster kittens are extremely well socialize and are certainly ready for the furever families when they are returned to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay for adoption.

More kitten photos by Wolf Endlicher:

YOU can watch the kitten playing every day on their live streaming web cams.  Find all the live web cam links at BigCatTV.com

 Global News & Articles

Article posted by our educational director, Jennifer:  U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to review Florida panther’s endangered status


Sadly this has been in the works for years and many groups, including Big Cat Rescue, have been expecting a fight. We’ll be notifying AdvoCats and supporters on actions to take as things unfold.  This is an attack on Florida’s most iconic species and an animal particularly close to my heart. The hunters and ranchers looking to undermine Florida Panther protections have no idea how hard Floridians, and people across the country, will fight to protect this majestic creature.
