Clinging by a claw
Most of us yearn to catch a glimpse of the glorious Scottish wildcat, yet never do. If we don’t act immediately, we never will. The wildcat is teetering on the edge of extinction.
Without your support, we cannot secure a future for the beautiful Highland Tiger with its staring green eyes. Without your support, we could easily be the generation that witnesses yet another extinction. Without you, this symbol of wild beauty will be but a memory.
DonateHow you can make a difference
The tragic demise of the wildcat is manmade. We owe it to the natural world to act fast before it really is too late. Your support has and will continue to play a vital role in securing a more hopeful future for the Scottish wildcat.
Please donate to SAVING WILDCATS and your gift will help to build an innovative wildcat reintroduction centre at RZSS Highland Wildlife Park. The first of its kind in the UK, the centre will establish founder populations of wildcats and reintroduce them to the wild.
£7.50 could feed a wildcat for a week
£30 could vaccinate one of the cats to protect them from disease
£350 could feed a wildcat for an entire year in the new centre
£1500 could buy a GPS collar to monitor a wildcat once it has been released into the wild
Together we can return the Highland Tiger to the remote wild landscapes where they belong.

Saving Endangered Species - The value of collaboration, conservation breeding and having a very good plan
What role do zoos really play in saving threatened wildlife? As extinction rebellion gains traction in the media and the recent IPBES report highlights that human actions have already driven at least 680 vertebrate species to extinction since the year 1500, it’s clear that the global decline in biodiversity is more relevant than ever before.
