Big Cat Rescue is on a mission to create a world where wild cats live freeโ€”not behind bars, not on leashes, and never as pets.

Weโ€™ve already helped make history by championing the Big Cat Public Safety Act, ending private ownership and public handling of big cats in the U.S. But our work doesn't stop at the border. We're now funding conservation projects around the globe to protect wildcats from the deadly threats of poaching, trafficking, bushmeat, and habitat loss.

Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery, compassion, and action. Together, let's strive for a world where all wild cats live freely and in harmony with nature. Subscribe, share, and be part of this incredible journey. #bigcatrescue #bigcattv #conservation

For tiny, elusive wild catsโ€”like margays, oncillas, leopard cats, jungle cats, and fishing catsโ€”scat is one of the most powerful tools scientists have. ๐Ÿพ

These cats are secretive, nocturnal, and rarely seen. But every scat sample is a tiny science report from the wild.

Fecal DNA can identify the species, individual cats, sex, and even family relationshipsโ€”helping estimate populations without ever touching the animal.

Hair, bones, feathers, and DNA fragments show what small cats eat and how they adapt near farms, villages, and cities. This helps reduce conflict and protect critical habitats.

The Canada lynx is a ghost of the northern forestsโ€”

This beautiful wild feline looks like a tiny leopard, but itโ€™s a completely different species.

Youโ€™ve probably heard of Bengal cats โ€” those exotic-looking domestic cats were bred using leopard cats, which has contributed to confusion about wild vs. domestic species.
