My 7 year old son, Josh is passionate about animals and was saddened to hear about conservation charities, like the Big Cat Sanctuary, are struggling to survive in this pandemic. He decided that he wanted to try to help!

He's going to run between 1.5 & 2 miles every day whilst carrying one of his many, big cat teddies, until he reaches his goal of a marathon (26.2 miles!) - This was his own idea!!

Like many conservation charities, The Big Cat Sanctuary are needing help to get through this pandemic, due to the significant drop in their income. Therefore they are relying solely on the generosity of the public, to help get the big cats fed, watered and to keep their conservation efforts going.

Josh's ultimate goal is to raise £3000 to help cover the cost of looking after all the cats at the sanctuary for a day. (Although, he said... 'I secretly want to raise LOTS more to help look after the big cats for a whole month!! Everyone needs to eat, don't they dad!')

Any donation, no matter how small will help in Josh's effort.

As a fully registered conservation charity, The Big Cat Sanctuary relies on personal big cat experiences, overnight stays and donations to fund its Welfare, Breeding, Education and Conservation work. The COVID-19 virus is already placing a huge amount of pressure on our small team to find funding and continue to provide the best of care for our animals, so we are asking you to please consider donating to our Big Cat Support Fund. It is always our priority to keep our cats happy and healthy, however, it costs us around £3,000 a day to do this, and this is without any funding for vital conservation work! With the closure of our site to all pre-booked personal experiences, overnight stays and events during this pandemic, we need to ask for support. This amount covers cost of food, vet treatment, animal husbandry, bedding and the vital team members we need to care for our animals on a daily basis.
