Big Cat Rescue
Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit educational sanctuary, is devoted to a dual mission. They rescue and provide a permanent home for exotic (i.e. wild, not domestic) cats who have been abused, abandoned, bred to be pets, retired from performing acts or saved from being slaughtered for their fur. They also educate the public about these animals, the causes of abandoment and abuse and the issues facing them in captivity and in the wild.
Our funding of £6,290.24 is to help them with gasoline powered electric generators as part of their Disaster Prepardness Plan. Like other parts of the US Gulf Coast, the Tampa Bay area has a history of major hurricanes. After these storms, animal facilities find themselves without electricity – sometimes for extended periods. These generators will help cope with these trying periods.
