Small Wild Cats

Education and public awareness are major components of wildcat conservation. Three quarters of the world's wild cat species are small. In spite of this, little is known of their behaviour, ecology or status. To increase public knowledge, we have compiled fact sheets on all wild cats. Reproduction of these fact sheets is encouraged. The intention of writing them was to help spread the word on the small cats, and we urge you to continue the process.

This page features links to the smallest of the wild cats - see also Medium & Big Cats.

We have also translated the Neotropical (Central & South American) cat fact sheets into Spanish.
