A rare opportunity to join a professional keeper who cares for the big cats at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation breeding centre. The centre is not open to the general public so this is a truly unique chance to help the keeper in his daily tasks and learn more about these awesome creatures. The highlight of the experience is to feed some of the cats and be only millimetres away from some of the most efficient killing machines on the planet.

What's included

• A short presentation on the work of Wildlife Heritage Foundation both in the UK and overseas
• Feeding of a big cat by hand from outside their enclosure
• The chance to help clean the enclosures, ensuring that the cats have all they need as they relax in the Kent countryside!
• An opportunity to help with the cat’s enclosure enrichment program – really big toys for big cats!
• Light refreshments and the opportunity for a few photo mementos
• Allow 2.5 hours for your visit
• Experience gift pack including smart wallet, personalised voucher and message card
• PA cover to a value of £50,000 plus cancellation indemnity

What happens on the day

Your session will start with a safety briefing, very important when you are about to work with the world’s top predators, followed by a short presentation on the work of Wildlife Heritage Foundation both in the UK and overseas. Then, it’s off for a 2.5-hour session caring for the big cats. Please remember that you will be observing living animals in their own environment and therefore may be in view of different carcass’s from various animals around feeding time. You will also be handling raw meat so a strong stomach and passion for the cats is a must!
