Is Genie still living next to Zabu and Cameron? Canyon was moved to another enclosure as he was nervous being around lions and tigers, am I wrong? Anyway, do they still have sand in their enclosures?
@90Kirame Genie was never living next to Cam/Zabu, that was Canyon. Canyon was fine in that enclosure he was never scared of his tiger/lions neighbors they were 20+ft away, but he as been relocated to a larger enclosure in the centre of the sanctuary, yes both sand cat enclosures still have sand :)
@BigCatRescue Thank you for your reply! It seems I misheard that part when I said Canyon was afraid to Cameron and Zabu. I checked it and it said he WASN'T afraid of them. Sorry, my mistake!
@BigCatRescue Damn, i would have loved to have seen all these animals. I may be a canime person but when i see a giant cat (or wild cat) I swoon (Dangerous!)
So why do you think Sand Cat's belong in a cage? Are they agressive or dangerous animals? How large do they get and to what weight? Why are they any differant than a common house cat? Do they like human contact?
@KenpoKarate4U We don't think they belong in a cage no animal belongs in a cage, like all wild animals they can be aggressive and dangerous. Canyon is around 6-7lbs I believe they can get up to 10-11lbs from what I have read. They are different from domestic cats because they have their wild instincts and don't like to be around people at all...
@zionfeather7 We don't have contact with our cats but when we sedated Canyon to remove an ingrown claw I had the privilege of stroking him and the fur was surprisingly soft!
@BigCatRescue I just wanna say thank you to you and evry one ho helps theese poor unluky cats !!! i truly wich that i can donat but i'm too young to have money or banq account :/ i wish you guys good luck for all and thanks for all !!
I live in Russia and I've seen a lot af web-sale of these and other wild cats. Just ricently I've seen one of such web sites. There were sand cats, fishing cats, tigers, jaguars... even black panters and white tigers and lions for sale. All of them were small kittens.
So I have a question... They always say that all of their animals aren't born on freedom so they can sale it and even can make 'documents', so it's legal to buy.I really dout that. But still... What u think about that?
@goodburer123 These a WILD animals. The domesticated cat as we know it, took thousands of years to get to where it is today.You cant' just take a sand-cat kitten and "bottle-feed it to friendship" Instead you'll get something closer to a wild beast with 10 pound temper in a 5 pound bag. And even if you sterilize it and try and teach it manners, it WILL spray urine to mark its territory and it will SMELL like HELL! Get a house cat, and learn to appreciate it for what it is, and not for its looks
@goodburer123 It's not possible for these creatures to be pets - it took several thousand years to domesticate our own house cats! You might hear about people who "own" them, but it's a very bad idea, since the cats wouldn't be happy at all.
HOWEVER! If you love wild animals, and really want to interact with them, you should definitely look into volunteering with a reputable sanctuary. ^_^
Question: you have ads at the bottom of the videos; they give you the option of skipping them. If I allow the ad to play, does Big Cat Rescue get the money? If so, I'm going to let those ads play!
I have never heard of these lil guys untill today and OMG they are ADORABLE!
I like only about and hour 1/2 away from Tampa and have been dieing to visit this place. Maybe I can convince my parents to take me as a graduation present. XD
hi boys im fofo i want to talk to girls and boys and i want to tel you about me and my cat the stranger history me and my cat we eat and sleep togather so send me if you like
You guys at BCR are excellent. Thanks very much for all you do to protect these animals and give them great homes when things at their natural homes are going wrong. Without you guys, these beautiful animals could be dead, but with your caring and hard work and the help of your supporters, you've saved many lives.
@runrunforest1 We don't breed at BCR, we would rather put our resources towards rescuing cats from bad situations and save their lives. Captive bred cats are very very rarely released into the wild and if we cannot conserve the habitat for cats already in the wild we are in serious trouble!...
@BigCatRescue I am not saying you should release them to the wild, because poachers is everywhere waiting . What I want to say is, breed them, so that that species will survive.
Since you don't either breed or release those animals you are helping a hand to make them to extinct faster. In other word, you are just a pet owner, and you use those pets to enrich yourself with donation money.
@runrunforest1 Our sand cats are in the captive breeding stud books and if they are needed for breeding programs they are available at breeding facilities. All our other cats are not good candidates for captive breeding programs, they are cross bred or inbred and are not good genetic samples from which to breed from, we also cannot trace their history back to their birth.
@runrunforest1 yeah im sure he is looking after them to make himself rich you fucken tool....I for one thank him for not acting like alota zoo's do and giving them small glass enclosures
thankyou BigCatResue for doing the best you can I appreciate it
I have seen few in the Algerian desert (Sahara). There are few cheetahs and Barbary leopards and some Serval cats in Northesat Algeria but they are endangered species.
So, I watch a lot of your videos, and I would like to know where your Big Cat Rescue Sancturary at? Or do you have multiple ones. Because I would like to volunteer for anything a 12 year old girl can do!:)
@KawaiiKemonomimi They are captive born offspring from sand cats that were taken from the wild before operation desert storm in order to protect the species. Our sand cats weren't bred at BCR (we do not breed) they are on the species survival plan list, in case they are needed for breeding in the future :)
@MrGuitarcovers10 Captive bred cats are very rarely released into the wild, they have to learn how to hunt, all our cats associate people with food, they would become nuisance animals and end up being killed.
Thanks BCR! I'm so addicted to your You Tube Videos and I've learnt so much. Living in Australia, where owning exotic species like big cats is reserved for zoos with permits, I had no idea that there was such a problem in the US and the pet trade. I'm glad that there's an organisation such as yourselves that are doing their best to help these beautiful animals and I'm doing my best to spread the word down here :)
you guys are doing a great job BCR! its my first time hearing about sand cats! thanks for sharing these vids, and those cats are so adorable! it must be fun to work there!
I wonder if you could get one of those cats to live as a normal cat? I live in europe and they look awesome and cute and if i could save the life of a poor little cat that would be cool too, im not some kind of exotic trader believe me and correct me if i'm being silly but would it be possible? (:
@Erreman2000 Hi, the simple answer is no, many of our cats (we have 130) are former "pets" people purchase them when they're cute and cuddly, being told they can be trained and domesticated but this isn't he case, they are wild animals with wild instincts and never make suitable "pets" no matter what their size :)
'Best life in captivity' - how about letting them free you idiot - maybe if I locked you up in an enclosure so I could profit from people peering in at you - and then stated 'well I have added a few trees and grass etc' - captivity is wrong - you cannot ever justify it - FU. Let them free.
@newcastlebooks We wish we could and we wish it were that simple, but all our cats are RESCUED, we do not breed our cats. They are rescued from bad situations and provided with a permanent home for the rest of their life. Wild species of cats are very rarely released back into the wild, ours cannot be released.
@BigCatRescue That was a great thing that that woman did. The sand cats look quite happy with their new sand to prowl in! I am a HUGE cats lover and it made me ecstatic watching the sand cats play in their sand. Too bad I'm under 18 or I would donate to you guys! Keep it up!
i just saw this man 5 minutes ago at Animal planet , The show called Untamed and uncut :D About a Leopard trapped in a Well made of clay so it was stuck
dear humanity: please get over your need to cry: i want one! i want one! every time you see something you like and please stop destroying everything you touch
@Dreamcast270mhz We don't breed at the sanctuary, there are so many cats out there that need a good home, breeding cats goes against our mission. Our sand cats are part of the species survival plan though. I hope there are no efforts to hybridize this species as well, breeding wild cats with domestic cats is an abusive practice.
I see, I disagree but that's your opinion. The only reason I support hybrid efforts like the Bengal and Savannah is that it allows someone wanting a designer cat to not threaten a wild species by importing them, instead they get a cat that has the likeness they want. But I do agree there are too many cats needing a good home.
I think you misunderstood me in my breeding question, I was referring to breeding them captively to keep zoos from importing wild ones. I enjoy these videos, thanks
@osheem Well firstly all of our wild species of cats would rather eat the domestic cat than mate with it, secondly the breeders doing this often discard the early generations and only want the later generations that can be more manageable. Others will sell first generation kittens claiming them to be fifth generation kittens for example, the buyers discover this the hard way and often end up dumping the cat they paid thousands for in shelters if they take them.
@BigCatRescue i just saw this man 5 minutes ago at Animal planet , The show called Untamed and uncut :D About a Leopard trapped in a Well made of clay so it was stuck
ive been to a zoo in the uk and they were in a nocturnal house behind glass with not alot of room, at the back was one sand cat and it was walking back and forth back and forth and it really upset me they looked so bored.
We feed all our cats a specially designed carnivore diet which comes in HUGE sausage tubes. This is all the ground organs etc... of animals with added nutrients and minerals. Then in Canyon's case he will either get chicken necks, whole dead chicks or sm rats :) yummy!
that was the sweetest thing that girl did! thank you lindsey for making their lives better! one day i will work for TBCR!!! i will!! the biggest pleasure out of this kind of job is knowing when you go home at night that you helped change an animals life for the better!! yeah!!
I thought the name Pakistan Sand Cats was a breed, not a location name for a type of sand cats. hmm. good to know. Looking at this is still seems that though they were raised in captivity, they've kept some of their wild attributes.
sand cat? Sounds like an unencyclopedia thing but it turns out they're real. Wow. Cute though, like the cat I have. Are all sand cats the same colour scheme?
Is Genie still living next to Zabu and Cameron? Canyon was moved to another enclosure as he was nervous being around lions and tigers, am I wrong? Anyway, do they still have sand in their enclosures?

The only reason I support hybrid efforts like the Bengal and Savannah is that it allows someone wanting a designer cat to not threaten a wild species by importing them, instead they get a cat that has the likeness they want. But I do agree there are too many cats needing a good home.
I think you misunderstood me in my breeding question, I was referring to breeding them captively to keep zoos from importing wild ones. I enjoy these videos, thanks

@BigCatRescue why is it abusive?
osheem 1 year ago
@osheem Well firstly all of our wild species of cats would rather eat the domestic cat than mate with it, secondly the breeders doing this often discard the early generations and only want the later generations that can be more manageable. Others will sell first generation kittens claiming them to be fifth generation kittens for example, the buyers discover this the hard way and often end up dumping the cat they paid thousands for in shelters if they take them.

I have a couple of questions for you?:
Do you plan on getting an unrelated male/female to breed them eventually?
Are there any efforts (Like Bengal cats) to hybridize this one so people will stop importing a wild animal they may be ill equipped to care for?

Beautiful cat! So nice of you to give them so much space. Do you have any Andean Mountain Cats? They are so rare, but very cute too.

what do you feed them? I'm guessing raw mice.

We feed all our cats a specially designed carnivore diet which comes in HUGE sausage tubes. This is all the ground organs etc... of animals with added nutrients and minerals. Then in Canyon's case he will either get chicken necks, whole dead chicks or sm rats :) yummy!

do you have any pakistan sand cats? I did a report on them a long time ago and it was interesting learning about them and other wild cat species.

Our sand cats were captive born at a international cat conservation organization :)
BigCatRescue 2 years ago
I thought the name Pakistan Sand Cats was a breed, not a location name for a type of sand cats. hmm. good to know. Looking at this is still seems that though they were raised in captivity, they've kept some of their wild attributes.

sand cat? Sounds like an unencyclopedia thing but it turns out they're real. Wow. Cute though, like the cat I have. Are all sand cats the same colour scheme?
