All cats cough up furballs, from your domestic cat at home to an African Lion on the savannah. They do this to protect themselves as the furballs may also contain bone fragments from whole prey and can cause blockages in their digestive system. Watch as Zza Zza one of our Ocelots shows us how it is done! Big Cat Rescue is a sanctuary for exotic cats like Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Bobcats, Lynx, Servals and Ocelots, to find out more about our mission visit: http://www.bigcatrescue.org

Big Cat Rescue planned for this escape for months. Last year a baby bobcat call came in as the third one in three weeks. He only had one eye and a lump on his belly the size of an orange. Big Cat Rescue was there to get him the medical attention he needed. Emergency surgery repaired the hernia in his abdominal wall. The swelling was the contents of his intestines and other internal organs that had spilled out of the muscled area and were rubbing away at the inner lining of his skin. The attending vet, Dr. Liz Wynn, believes that his hernia and missing eye were caused by some sort of trauma. The area where he was found is completely surrounded by development in West Tampa, but bobcats are often reported there and last year one was found as road kill. After months of recuperation and rehabilitation, Chance the yearling bobcat was released. Watch the movie and see his wild dash for freedom. See the video more clearly on our ChatBigCat.com site.
This is a tribute to Buffy the tiger who recently passed away, 28th May 2008. Buffy was an ex-circus tiger who was much loved by staff, volunteers and guests. Buffy was a very friendly cat who would always come and say hello to everybody, he'll be dearly missed. For more information visit:http://www.bigcatrescue.org.
