Nestled in the heart of the British countryside, The Big Cat Sanctuary is home to a variety of wild cat species, from the smallest in the world to the most endangered - and everything in between. 

The Big Cat Sanctuary’s conservation work is helping protect a dwindling number of big cats.  

Its welfare team strives to provide the most fulfilled life in captivity for all its cat residents, stimulating them mentally and physically.  

In 2020, The Big Cat Sanctuary’s royal patron HRH Princess Eugenie opened a breeding Jaguar centre.

It is also building a new Animal Resource Centre (ARC) to include a state-of-the-art vet room, food storage room, and staff facilities. There will be an educational hub for external visits to the Sanctuary. 

In this episode of Thought and Leaders, Jonathan Gabay takes a ‘walk on the wildlife’, meeting amazing senior cat carers and coming face-to-face with some of the Sanctuary’s best-loved residents.
