Whenever you have to treat a big cat, it is a risk. Sometimes they can react poorly to being put under for simple procedures. And don’t forget the fact that you are working around a very dangerous animal. We had the chance to neuter Saber the black leopard. And we also took this opportunity to give him a check up, weigh him, and move him to another enclosure back on the tour path were he likes to look at the silly people.
Follow along as Dr. Liz and Scott make it all look so easy.
(Go knock the cat out, neuter him, weigh him, give him a reversal, and you’re all done.)
Big Cat Rescue is an animal sanctuary and we do not breed out cats. We spay and neuter our animals just as you should with your own pets. *some surgery scenes may be graphic for some viewers*

Ligers; Tigers and Lions are bred by charlatans who claim it was “accidental.” Don’t believe it. They breed them because ignorant people will pay to see them. There are NO big cats being bred for release back to the wild.

Big Cat Rescue is a nonprofit 501(c)3 charity dedicated to the care of exotic cats. We provide a permanent home for unwanted wildcats and we educate the public in order to eliminate the causes of abandonment and abuse.   The images of exploitation and horrid conditions in the video above were filmed in places where we had been asked to rescue big cats;  but we cannot save them all.

Your voice for better laws and your tax deductible donations will make it possible to end the abuse. With your help we can end the suffering and give these great cats a home for life.
