The Urban Cat Project
is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization, funded entirely by donations. All work is done by Volunteers. Our sole purpose is to match abandoned cats with loving homes and to advocate to end the abuse of cats around the world. We provide a safe, quiet, comfortable shelter until the right guardian is found.

The Urban Cat Project mourns the loss of Tatiana, the Siberian Tiger (an
endangered species) killed by the SFPD after she escaped, killing one teenager
and injuring two others. Tigers and other large cats should not be kept
in traditional zoos, in which their average enclosure is 18,000 times
smaller than their natural habitat would be. Traditional zoos such
as the San Francisco Zoo should immediately send their 3 remaining Tigers
to a sanctuary. Clearly the SF Zoo does not have the ability to protect
visitors from being harmed, nor do they have the space to properly and humanely
house large cats. Anyone who has visited this zoo (and most all traditional
zoos) can attest to the boredom and repetitive pacing behaviors exhibited
by the large cats so cruelly confined. Please take a moment to write
a letter to the Director of the SF Zoo asking him to immediately send their
remaining Tigers (and all large cats) to a Sanctuary.
