The Far Eastern Leopard cat (Forest cat, Amur cat) is the
northernmost subspecies of the Bengal cat and is listed in the Red
List of Primorsky Krai.
Vulnerable species. There are all prerequisites for the loss of the
species in the foreseeable future. It plays one of the key roles in
maintaining the balance of ecosystems in which it still lives.
Scientific Work
Tracing the gradients of genetic differences between cats of Russia and South Asia
Direct Rescue
Field work. Rescue, conservation and rehabilitation
Indirect Rescue
Education programs. Working with children and locals
Why We Help
The main reason for the disappearance of Leopard cat lies in the anthropogenic impact on the species. Grass fires, highways without crossings for animals, trapping, killings by farmers.
What We Do
Direct animal rescue in a field, rehabilitation and readaptating cats. Indirect rescue with educational facility. Scientific conservation by tracing genetic for make this cat more valuable to the Russian Red List.
How It Help
The project receives minimal private donations, yet unites experts and activists. In 2024, we gained state authorization for cat work. Currently, we assist injured leopard cats in only 15% of cases.
