The Aigas Wildcat Conservation Breeding Programme is funded by the Aigas Trust, a registered charity, and relies on donations to operate. By adopting an Aigas wildcat you will be contributing towards food, enclosure maintenance and building, husbandry costs and veterinary fees. Your donation will go to the Aigas Trust. Conservation breeding has been a vital tool in preventing wildcats in Scotland from going completely extinct, we must continue to breed wildcats in captivity to help rebuild a strong wild population.
