About Us
The Save Wild Cats Foundation was established in 2019 to rescue the most endangered species of wild cats. 90% of the funds raised to aid wild cats are allocated to campaigns concerning large cats. Our efforts focus on lesser-known species that are often overlooked by other organizations – including the smallest members of the cat family.
By securing genetic material and improving assisted reproduction methods, we aim to ensure the continuity of these species. Let’s not allow the Iriomote cat, black-footed cat, African golden cat, or Bornean bay cat to disappear from the face of the Earth.
Sunda clouded leopard
The Sunda clouded leopard has a finer pattern on its fur and more gray fur than the clouded leopard. Its gray fur has cloud-like patterns that are darker than the background. This particular fur pattern and the region in which it occurs (Sundaland or Sunda Region refers to the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Bali, and the Malay Peninsula) give the name Sunda Nebelleopard.
The flat-headed cat
The flat-headed cat is characterized by an elongated head and flattened forehead. Its ears are small, rounded, and well-set on the sides of the head. It has noticeably large, closely set eyes. The cat’s claws do not touch the ground when it walks but are always slightly extended from their sheaths. Its paws are long and narrow, with a well-developed Interdigital membrane between the toes.
