Donate now Share Tweet Forward Share Dear friends, Authorities in the United Kingdom have shut down a “conservation center” for big cats after it emerged that the animals in its care had been subjected to years of cruelty and abuse.  12 of these cats, some barely clinging to life, have been rescued by our partner, WildSide Exotic Rescue. Their story is heartbreaking – but with your help today, Luc, there can be hope.

Some animals were too ill to be saved and had to be humanely euthanized. Luc, the conditions these captive cats endured were beyond horrific.   Many were sick, injured and severely suffering, left to languish in pain. Police found animal carcasses packed into freezers; those still alive were living in cramped cages. All had been used to make money for their owner – who has now been found guilty on a litany of animal welfare charges. This is a victory for animal welfare – but the cats who survived will live with lifelong injuries, illness and trauma. They need all the help they can get.

Kit Kat, an elderly puma, was in the worst shape of all. He had been living with an untreated broken leg and other horrific injuries. Estimated to be at least 16, he must have lived in constant pain – possibly his entire life.  11 other cats like Kit Kat are fighting for their lives – together, we can help save them.
