Also known as the Amur tiger, the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), whose former range included northeastern China, the Korean Peninsula, and Mongolia, is now almost completely confined to Russia’s Amur-Ussuri region, where it is now protected. An estimated 350 to 450 tigers are believed to be still alive, although the persistent threats of habitat loss through logging and development, as well as poaching for their fur and bones continue to loom overhead. http://www.livescience.com/animals/top10-species-kiss-goodbye.html
Big Cat Rescue’s 2008 Fur Ball was a roaring success! Take a look at what our guests/supporters got up to on the big night! Events included a live and silent auction, costume contest, big cat bargain sales, gourmet dinner, rolex raffle, complimentary wine and more! The Fur Ball is our largest fundraiser of the year and all proceeds go towards helping run our sanctuary and feed our cats. Thank you to everybody who attended and volunteered the event the cats appreciate it!
