Small Wild Cat Conservation

scottish wildcat kittenCan you recognize a black-footed cat? How about a kodkod or a bay cat? These are just three of the smaller endangered wild cat species in the world.

There are 37 species of wild cat in the world today. Most people are aware of the big five - tiger, lion, leopard, jaguar and cheetah. Many are familiar with the medium felines - snow leopard and cougar, or mountain lion.

Our job is to make the world aware of the the remaining 30 small wild cat species, from the world's smallest wild cat - a 2 pound beauty - to the 50 lb clouded leopard.

Our programs support scientific field research on the smallest cats, and educate people the world over about their plight. Wild cats don't have nine lives, and they need your help today.

Purrr-uze our website, learn more about the small wild cats, and join the fight to save these beautiful little predators! To identify the cats in all our photos, just roll your mouse over the cat. 

Scottish Wildcat fact sheet added - less than 400 of these beautiful cats left, including the adorable kitten shown above. Now you can purchase Wildcat Haven - the only book written on these feisty felines, directly from us! 

Read all about the 30 small wild cats on our Small Cats feline fact sheets. Also available in Spanish, French and Russian.
