Exotic Big Cats
Although dedicated to the rescue of domestic cats, Save A Kitty, Inc. is also working towards the rescue and preservation of the big cats.
In general, society is unaware of the misery and suffering that many of these magnificent cats are forced to endure. Born into captivity (usually illegally), these cats can be bought for as little as $200 or $300 on the black market. Unfortunately, in some states, there are no laws to prevent anyone from obtaining a leopard, a lion, or a tiger. These cats often end up in roadside zoos, “canned hunts” or are kept as pets by people who have no knowledge of how to care for them. It is not uncommon for these cats to be kept in squalid conditions in basements or cages with inadequate food and space.

Even if these cats are lucky enough to be rescued, their physical condition is so poor in many cases that the only humane thing to do is to euthanize them. Euthanasia is also the only option in some cases where, even if the cat could be rehabilitated, there is just no place for it to go.
There are not enough big cat sanctuaries to facilitate the growing numbers of these beautiful animals that need help. Once taken to a sanctuary, these cats will need to be cared for, for the rest of their lives. Tragically, funding and space is sometimes the only difference between life and death for these cats.

Many of these magnificent beings have been abused, deprived of their dignity, and used for monetary gain. Their stories are heartbreaking. Please help us help them. We need funding for land and a sanctuary. As a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible.
