Feed a tiger at Big Cat Rescue and their friends of other species.
A project of Big Cat Rescue
Big cats have big appetites and with food prices up dramatically it is only with your help that they can be fed.
We buy the very best ground carnivore diet on the market. Made by Natural Balance, it has only human grade beef content. A proprietary mix of vitamins and nutrients designed specifically for big cats is mixed throughout. We also feed chicken and beef parts because the cats like consistency.
Since 2005 the supplier has held the price for us at $1/pound while their cost of meat rose to over $2/pound. This year they could no longer continue to lose money on us and raised the price to $3.10. We buy 64,000 pounds/year so this is an unbudgeted increase in cost of $135,000!
Please help us cover this huge cost increase by donating to feed a tiger for as many days as your budget allows. Each day of food donated helps. Thank you for putting food on our cats’ plates!

An animal abuser raises his number, thinking to himself, that he can mount her head and that of the male cougar he just bought over the T. V. in his trailer. The gavel slams down and Sophia's life has just taken a perilous change for the worse. She and her mate had been ripped from their mothers when they were cubs, declawed and bottle raised to be used as ego props. When they were little they could be used for photo opportunities and could be walked about on leashes as mini trophies. Now they were too big for that and their owner had crated them into tiny cages and consigned them over to a live animal auction...
