3 Tigers rescued from Wild Animal Orphanage (WAO), a San Antonio, Texas sanctuary that went bankrupt in 2010. In 2003, Wild Animal Orphanage (WAO) took in 24 tigers that had been living at a New Jersey facility that was shut down by the state. After declaring bankruptcy in 2010, WAO contacted the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and other organizations for help in placing these tigers and the rest of their big cats at other sanctuaries.
WAO struggled for over a year to find permanent homes for all of their cats because it is hard to place a big cat who will cost $10,000 per year in food and vet care.
Amazingly, an anonymous donor couple who had known these tigers as cubs fortuitously stepped in to fund the ongoing care of three lucky tigers who are coming to Big Cat Rescue. Your donation today helps us continue our work to end the trade in big cats and makes it possible for us to rescue others and provide permanent care to more than 100+ big cats who call Big Cat Rescue home.

  • Oh! By the way great job Big Cat Rescue!! Oh and by what I meant in my last comment about exotic cats not being bred for being owned, I meant where domestic cat have been bred not to have that instinct of 'if you come in here I'm going to kill you because I feel like it.' Where as exotic cats when you breed them they have that, just wanted to clarify.

  • @HikariUtada Thanks!

  • Did you separate Amanda from her two brothers or you let either Andre or Arthur live alone?

  • @AdvertChild98 All three tigers live together :)

  • GREAT

  • That sucks that they went bankrupt :/

  • So glad I subscribed to you guys.

  • I live right down the street from where these animals were kept and not a lot of people knew that they were there like neighbors

  • Wow, I bet those roars really reverberate through you!

  • thanks for doing what you do bigcatrescue

  • @HikariUtada

    Exactly. Like a kangaroo. No only do they have a powerful kick, put their incredibly long nails could disembowel you at that force. We don't have to worry about missing and shattered limbs when kitty kitty has a temper tantrum

  • Once again its great to see what you guys have done for these tigers. Keep up the great work:) From one tiger lover to another :)

  • @theonlyzdog

    Yeah that's true. Also where our cats claws are much smaller even though they can do quite a bit of damage, however that is nothing compared to if you were scratched by a Tiger. Who have much larger claws that could rip your arm or lag to pieces.
