Male Sandcat

Date of Birth: 2000-2005

On October 23, 2000 Pat Quillen of S.O.S. Care, the leading breeder of small cat species sent baby Sand Cats to Big Cat Rescue.  They were born on 7/27/00 to Pebbles and Papoose who were the offspring of wild caught Sand Cats sent here during Desert Storm for their protection.  Most of the known original Sand Cats in the U.S. are from these imported Founders who produced well at S.O.S. Care.  They have been sent here as genetic back up and will not be bred at Big Cat Rescue unless their offspring with cats unrelated to this group can be returned to the wild.  We will not breed for life in cages.
