SOS LEOPARDS

The #1 project Wild Cats World currently supports is a leopard rescue of a badly injured wild male leopard. This fundraiser is to give him the essential medical care. The injuries result from snares on a farm that have done a lot of damage. He is badly injured but is in good hands now. This project is in association with a Leopard Rescue, Rehab & Release program in the Mpumalanga district, South Africa. Please, support us! Funds are badly needed. So far, all funding was provided for by the vet and the Rehab program. But if we want to continue […]

Merry X-Mas & Happy New Year

Like with every ending of a year we look back to what has been the past year. We gained, we lost, like every year. But of course we had a few highlights too. The relocation of four young leopards born at Wild Cats World, to live wild, in March 2018. Also we had two special births, at the black-footed cats and the leopards, all off spring growing up healthy. So, we can only look back and say 2018 was very successful. We came closer to our actual mission and vision and that of course feels great. Also, we learnt so […]

Welcome to African wildcat female Quilla

The newest addition to the WCW family is African wildcat female Quilla. Last Sunday (21st) she arrived and she settled in nicely. Of course the other wildcats were very curious to see their new neighbour and esp. Maurice (like it should be) was exited to see her from start and immediately started calling. Promising for the future. Luckily Quilla did start eating well right after her arrival so she is doing well. She is a pretty girl too as you can see, and like Louise she tends to stick out her tongue (to the photographer). More photos of her will […]

Third litter, African leopards Feline & Félipe: three gorgeous cubs

We are very proud to inform you about a third successful birth of our African leopard couple Feline & Félipe. After the relocation of the youngsters from previous litters to be (soft) released, March this year, the couple must have thought it is too quiet and time for new off spring. On August 22nd we welcomed three gorgeous and healthy cubs again, 2 females & 1 male. Names we have but are only meant for insiders, like the people who work closely with them, and sponsors or (symbolic) adoption parents. For the world it is most important to know the […]

Project: African wildcat Conservation. One to watch!!

We are often asked to co-operate in research or conservation projects or study ‘objects’ re. Conservation Ecology. Twané Bester focused on the African wildcat as her project to finish off her studies at University Pretoria, and requested to use some footage. Enjoy this video, starring a.o. our African wildcats Sid & Louise. The video was received well with a mark of 90% and Twané’s professor requested to use it as example for next year’s students. So well done! All attention for the small wildcatspecies is more than welcome!!!
