Big Cat Party Raises $48,000 for WildCat Haven

West Linn, October 5th, 2013. It was Flappers and Fedoras for the 110 supporters who came to the Oregon Golf Club for WildCat Haven‘s 12th annual Big Cat Bash: “Roaring!” Inspired by the 1920’s, guests cavorted wearing their sharpest retro duds while raising money for food, vet care and building expenses for our captive born wildcat rescues.

WildCat Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill, ‘last hope’ sanctuary located in beautiful Sherwood, Oregon. Our mission is to provide a safe, natural lifetime home for captive-born wildcats in need. Earning verification and accreditation from both The Global Federation of American Sanctuaries (GFAS) and The American Sanctuary Association (ASA) WildCat Haven is not open to the public; nor do we buy, sell, breed or exhibit our animals. It’s a philosophy we believe in and stand by for the safety and well being of the wildcats. We are not a zoo for people but a safe haven for the animals in our care. Our rescues depend on us to provide for them. They trust we will keep them safe, comfortable, healthy and free from the pain and suffering they have experienced. And we are committed to fulfilling that trust every day. WCH Sanctuary receives no state or federal funding relying on fund-raising, and our generous donors and sponsors.
