An increasing part of the work of The Cat Survival Trust consists of caring for captive wild cats which have been displaced when zoos and other collections have closed or reduced their numbers of cats. Many of these cats are elderly and come to spend the final part of their lives in as comfortable and stress-free conditions as can be provided. Veterinary care is also more frequently needed by these cats than by younger animals.
You can help by sponsoring part of the cost of caring for one or more of our cats, whether young or old. You can choose to pay monthly or yearly, but for administrative reasons the minimum period of sponsorship is one year.
Sponsors receive a certificate showing that they have sponsored a cat of a particular species for a certain period, and we try to keep them informed of the cat's progress. They are also eligible to come and visit The Centre (by appointment) to see “their” cat.
The following table lists the cats available for sponsorship together with the cost.
