Here’s an unforgettable encounter - we’re giving away the chance to win a big cat experience.

Win a Big Cat Encounter experience at The Big Cat Sanctuary

The Big Cat Sanctuary was founded in Kent in 2000 and is a Uk-registered conservation charity which is home to more than 50 wild cats. A 32-acre site hidden in the peaceful Smarden countryside began by default as a refuge for rescued cats. The sanctuary is now recognised as a centre of excellence and one of Europe’s biggest wild cat centres making global partnerships and supporting conservation initiatives.

Its cat collection contains more than 15 different species, from the world’s largest to the smallest: breeding, conservation and education. It is by working with these objectives in place that it is securing a future for both big and small cats by conserving and restoring the balance of the ecosystem in which predators play such a vital role. The Big Cat Sanctuary is helping to create a future for some of the planet’s most endangered and iconic species.

Here is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the professionals who help to look after the big cats. This is an insightful guided tour of the sanctuary to see the amazing big cats, from the smallest in the world to the most endangered. You will get to learn about the needs of the various cat species and their conservation status. You will be able to get up close to the magnificent animals, with a chance to feed one of the cats by hand.
