Welcome to the Feline Conservation Foundation

Wild cats grace an impressive 74 percent of Earth’s terrestrial landscapes, making their mark in nearly every forest across the globe. Each of these forests is a realm shared with at least one species of wild cat, demonstrating the remarkable adaptability and ecological significance of these majestic predators.

Moreover, these feline territories intersect with three-quarters of the world’s Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) — vital havens that harbor critical populations of the planet’s endangered species. This fascinating overlap showcases the essential role that wild cats play in the stewardship of global biodiversity, acting as guardians of some of the most vital ecosystems on our planet.

The Feline Conservation Foundation is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to conserve wild felines through educational opportunities , responsible ownership and advocacy. The Feline Conservation Foundation seeks to bridge the gap between professional zoos and private institutions to strengthen the genetic diversity of felines within zoological settings. We support our members by offering resources that are current and progressive that promote optimal welfare and safety.

By collaborating with ethical wildlife facilities, we can bolster wildcat conservation efforts through fundraising initiatives. These partnerships not only support vital conservation work but also enrich the visitor experience by offering real-time data and insights into the tangible impact of their support. When individuals visit their local zoo, they’re not just enjoying a day out; they’re actively contributing to the preservation of wildcats and their habitats.
