A freak avian flu outbreak at a Washington wild animal sanctuary has left 21 big cats dead and 16 more in need of critical support.

Because it is suspected that food was the source of the outbreak, the sanctuary has been forced to destroy three tons of supplies to avoid further risk of infection.
Now, the survivors need animal-lovers like you to keep them fed as they recover.
16 vulnerable and hungry wild cats need food and critical support after an avian flu outbreak.
The Wild Felid Advocacy Center of Washington (WFAC) in North Shelton, Washington, is a lifetime haven for tigers, lynxes, cougars, bobcats, servals, African leopards and other large felines rescued from abuse, exploitation and neglect. It provides permanent safe sanctuary, giving the animals the peace, comfort and well-being they deserve.

But tragedy has struck.
Following an avian flu outbreak across several U.S. states, the sanctuary tragically lost 21 of its big cats, including vulnerable lynxes and an endangered Bengal tiger. Right now, 16 survivors are in quarantine, receiving critical care.
After destroying three tons of food – which would have fed all 16 survivors for five months – to avoid further risk of contamination, they need to replace the food fast.

Please help us provide crucial food for the survivors.
These big cats need our help and they need it today.
Avian flu is a highly contagious virus carried by wild birds, spreading through respiratory secretions and bird-to-bird contact. It can also be transmitted to predators who eat infected birds. The virus can quickly progress to pneumonia, causing death within just 24 hours.
Now, as the WFAC team works around the clock to keep the surviving cats safe and prevent further infections, their resources are stretched dangerously thin.

If we can raise $6,000 (£4,825), we can feed the 16 surviving big cats for a month, providing them with the safe, high-quality food they need to survive.
Every $12 (around £10) you give will feed a big cat for a day – and just $360 (£290) will give a tiger, leopard or another cat a month’s worth of nutritious food.
This is the most devastating tragedy that has struck at the sanctuary since it opened its doors 20 years ago. Your donation will help the surviving animals recover, so they can continue living peaceful, healthy lives.
