We approach each threat to the wildcat's conservation with a variety of campaigns aimed to encourage people of all ages, nationalities and walks of life to get involved in saving these unique creatures.
Public awareness campaign; launching the charity
General public awareness of the wildcat and it's threats is perhaps most important to it's future; countrywide control of domestic cats can only be achieved if everyone understands the issues, and the support of the public and private sector is essential in funding research, legal action and positive publicity.
Whilst we are establishing the charity officially, we are also seeking to connect with as many people interested in Scotland's natural world as possible;

Fine tuning but operational with almost 9000 friends across the world
We have a Myspace page with a building friends list providing a place for people to hear about the wildcat, the charity, and to ask quick questions. Myspace is a free resource ideal for connecting with people all over the world, getting them interested in the Scottish wildcat and involved in the charity's work.

Open for browing but under construction
Our website is rapidly nearing completion. It has been designed not only to promote the aims of this charity but also to provide a detailed resource of information about the Scottish wildcat, summarising the theories, research, observation and expert opinion into a detailed educational resource.
