Volunteering at Wild Cats World
The main focus during your stay will be to learn everything about diet, husbandry, living conditions and hygiene practices in order to prevent diseases. You will learn all this while assisting the caretaker or owner giving the best care to African wildcats, Black-footed cats, Caracals, Cheetahs, Leopards, Servals and a group of feral cats. BUT… we of course want to give education as well. We want our volunteers to leave knowing all important facts about all species you worked with. Also about the lions of which we initiated the rescue of 10 animals from Canned Hunting, not in our care […]

Future & Leopards
In case you are wondering what we are up to at this moment? It might seem quiet as for our projects and sanctuary but you can consider it to be “Calm before the storm”. Behind the scenes lots of work is in progress, we are not allowed to share any info about just yet. Once we can, rest assured, you will hear loud and clear what we have been up to the past few months. This concerns a big revelation, which will hopefully cause some commotion and increased awareness of conservation. Apart from that we are still having meetings with […]
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 […]

Help us save wild cats worldwide!
As announced on March 16, 2017 , the WCW Pallas Cat Conservation Project is become a reality since we signed the contract with the Zoo de Lyon.
I hear already people saying, but there are pallas cat at Zoo de Lyon. Wrong, they have 2 pallas cat but not visible from the public (unfortunately) due to the fact that they are looking for funding to build a brand new enclosure.
The WCW Pallas cat Conservation Project could be split in 2 sub-projects:
- Help and support Zoo de Lyon to raise funds for work related to the Pallas cat . Conservation in-situ and ex-situ.
- The other one which is the most important one is to raise funds for the PICA project – Pallas’s cat International Conservation Alliance.
