Big Cat Rescue recently got the call to help a wild Florida bobcat in need. Recent construction near the airport had forced a bobcat out of its own territory and into a business complex. This sadly is happening to all kinds of wildlife all around the world. People move in, wildlife gets pushed out. The bobcat will be treated as a candidate for rehab and release and kept away from people until he stabilizes enough to re evaluate his condition. Please stay tuned⦠*Big Cat Rescue released âFaithâ in the wild back in 2005 and track and monitor her still to this day. We also provide a permanent home to several bobcats that could not be returned to the wild. (Special Thanks to Rodney for the production of this video) www.bigcatrescue.org

BCR loves to help out and support wild feline conservation. We were recently asked to participate in a project that collected fecals from captive snow leopards, in order to be used to train dogs to identify the smell. These dogs will then be used out in snow leopard habitat to better help the researchers. Helping out the snow leopard is important as lets face it, the leopard doesn’t have the fact that people can ride up to it sleeping on the plains on a jeep and grow fascinated by it like the lion. It lives in rugged areas that see very little tourism. For more info on this great project check out: www.snowleopard.org and also: www.workingdogsforconservation. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out our other cat videos. www.bigcatrescue.org
The Tampa, Florida summers are getting hotter and hotter so, to help our water loving felines "Beat the Heat"Â we build ponds in their enclosures. Watch as our tigers cool off and have some fun in their personal pools. Thanks to having some of the best supporters in the world, Big Cat Rescue is able to give excellent care to its 100+ residents. *Special mention to author Caleb Carr for his generous donation toward the pond reconstruction project.

The current situations with cougars (mountain lions etc…) are interesting. You could be a Florida Panther, which are protected and slowly heading towards extinction (as many are hit by vehicles each year due to a huge population growth in Florida), or you could be a western puma and legally hunted in states like Oregon for a $10.00 fee. The cougars we mostly hear about are those that are people’s former pets. We get calls all the time where people went out and bought a cute fluffy cougar cub only to realize that like all animals, they grew up. Our “cubs” were sent here around 2 years ago after their mother was shot in the wilderness. A lot of you have been asking how they are doing, and this video taken at feeding time on whole prey night, will give you the chance to see that they have grown up. Thank you for watching. www.bigcatrescue.org
Find out how Haley's Act can protect baby tigers.
Welcome to another edition of Big Cat Rescue’s species spotlight. In this episode we look at a lesser cat called the Caracal. Their name is taken from a Turkish word that means “black ear.” The Caracal is known best for its large black ears that it uses for its great hunting ability. The Caracal roams the grasslands and open plains from Africa through the Middle East. While its numbers are holding in Africa, we see populations becoming extinct in India due to farming and the unrestricted manufacturing of charcoal from the wild weeds, especially in the Banni grasslands. By supporting animal conservation in these areas we can help save the land for the Caracals and other wildlife. Captive Caracals in the US suffer from people trying to keep them as pets, as well as trying to crossbreed them with domestic cats for the pet trade.
