Home of the "Big Cat Sanctuary"

Wildlife Heritage Foundation – W H F is a UK based charity working hard to ensure that the big cat species of the world are protected from extinction. Based in Kent UK we are an active partner in the European Endangered Species Breeding Programmes (EEP), as well as setting up education programmes for the people that share the habitats of these wonderful cats. The WHF is also raising awareness and funding for big cat projects around the world.

The Big Cat Sanctuary allows the WHF to breed a collection of big cats in conjunction with the European Rare Species Breeding Program. We are aiming to increase the generic diversity of cats with a view to reintroduction to the wild.

Currently we have been very successful with the Amur Leopard and the Sumatran Tiger.

We offer a range of experiences to the public including Ranger Days, Big Cat Encounters and Photography Days. More information is available from the links on the right

WHF White Lion Appeal

WHF is currently in the process of setting up a very exciting project to help widen the global gene pool of white lions, native to the Timbervati region of South Africa. The project involves bringing two white lionesses to WHF from South Africa to form a pride with our resident male white lion, Themba.
