Lots of Private Tours today.     * We had actor Khary Payton who plays Ezequiel from the Walking Dead!! and his friends.     * We had a crew record footage for a virtual reality tour for seniors who are unable to visit.  Super Cool!!! Gabby’s enclosure was watered. We found 8 new fly traps and changed them out for the ones in outback. Many more need to be replaced. Picky eaters did good today.

FROM THE LAW FIRM OF CATZ, KATS, MOREKATZ AND A RAT

July 31, 2017

ATTENTION:  Facebook Police Force

Dear Sir/Madam:

On behalf of our clients, the Cats of Big Cat Rescue, we hereby DEMAND that you release LaWanna Mitchell, our Social Maven, from Facebook jail.

LaWanna is a valued member of our staff.  Because you have her in Facebook jail she cannot post the information that our fans have come to rely on daily.  BCR fans are going into withdrawal because there have been no Facebook contests or hi-res pictures of our clients to download since she has been incarcerated.

Furthermore, we demand to know the list of charges against our client.  Was she mean to her chickens?  Her goats?  Her pets?  Her neighbors?  Did she jaywalk?  Drive on the wrong side of the street?  Go through a stop sign?  Why exactly is she incarcerated?

She cannot survive on prison meals of bread and water.  Furthermore, she hates orange jumpsuits.  (Be honest; no one looks good in those.)

We demand this injustice be corrected, and request the release of our Social Maven immediately.  If this demand is not met, King Joseph and Her Royal Lioness Nikita request a personal meeting with you and your staff.  Please bring onions, garlic, and condiments.

Sincerely,

U.R. Gonnabesorry, Partner

The Law Firm of Catz, Kats, Morekatz and a Rat

Big Cat Rescue on Amazon

Today is the last day to get this bracelet for only $5.00 today only if you are one of the first 10 to claim your coupon code at https://app.jumpsend.com/deals

Type “imperial jasper” into the search bar to find it.

If you have never been to Jump Send, it’s pretty amazing discounts on things offered at Amazon.

The reason vendors, like me, offer things at such a loss on Jump Send is to get more people to buy their Amazon products and review them so that Amazon sees a lot of activity for that product and promotes it more.

Even though I’m losing money on this gorgeous bracelet at this price, someone is going to take advantage of the coupons, so I’d rather it be you.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who purchased our International Tiger Day merchandise and donated to build chain link fences to save wild tigers from falling into open farm wells in India! We are still tallying the final total, but the profit from merchandise and the donations raised approximately $10,582 PLUS Big Cat Rescue’s match of $5000 means we will be sending a check to the Corbett Foundation for about $15,582!! That will build about 155 fences…We know TJ would be so pleased. (We will let you know who won Priya’s painting soon!)
