  • The three tigers were rescued in 2003 from this but now are safe at Big Cat Rescue.

These cats were rescued in 2003 from the conditions you see in the photos and sent to a sanctuary.

It's a heart-warming rescue of three adult tigers from Wild Animal Orphanage (WAO), a San Antonio, Texas sanctuary that went bankrupt in 2010.

In 2003, Wild Animal Orphanage (WAO) took in 24 tigers that had been living at a New Jersey facility that was shut down by the state. After declaring bankruptcy in 2010, WAO contacted the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and other organizations for help in placing these tigers and the rest of their big cats at other sanctuaries.

WAO struggled for over a year to find permanent homes for all of their cats because it is hard to place a big cat who will cost $10,000 per year in food and vet care.

Amazingly, an anonymous donor couple who had known these tigers as cubs fortuitously stepped in to fund the ongoing care of three lucky tigers who are coming to Big Cat Rescue. Your donation today helps us continue our work to end the trade in big cats and makes it possible for us to rescue others and provide permanent care to more than 100+ big cats who call Big Cat Rescue home.

Please consider making a recurring donation as these help us plan better for future rescues.

    My heart was broken when I heard about Zanesville, Ohio and the lost of those magnificent animals; especially the big cats. Keep up the great work that you do as your work will benefit generations to come. Thank you.

    Thank you for the great work you do. If people would start educating themselves, organizations like this, the SPCA and PETA, would not be necessary.

    Did you know that "Sanctuaries" are supposed to provide a safe haven for All animals and provide life long homes for them? Not at BCR, how many Live Domestic rabbits & rats have you Unnecessarily killed Carole? Why do you keep torturing and killing innocent animals when other rehabs never feed live animals to bobcats? Why do you buy frozen rabbits when other zoo's and rehabs use whole chicken, turkey and beef (animals already killed for food)? Please stop this barbaric killing and use some of your donation money for updating your education on the proper care of big cats, maybe yours would live longer.

    Carole Baskin why are you using this name of Danielle Gastineau on websites and on facebook and emailing people then turning off the facebook profile after? There is really no need for you to hide under alias names, we are happy and willing to answer all your questions and have invited you to debate many times, however you can't even speak to the news reporters let alone any other groups who know the truth about you. Thanks for the email today, hope you got an education about yourself. http://westchase.wtsp.com/news/news/82855-10-news-investigators-raise-questions-about-big-cat-rescue
