Supporting Global Conservation: Tigers for Tomorrow and Geoffroy's Cat Initiatives
At Tigers for Tomorrow, conservation is more than a mission—it’s a commitment that spans local and global efforts. As part of this dedication, we have proudly worked with the Feline Conservation Foundation (FCF) and supported initiatives for the preservation of the Geoffroy's cat, a small wild feline native to South America.
Our Collaboration with the Geoffroy's Cat Working Group (GCWG)
Through partnerships with organizations like the FCF and GCWG, Tigers for Tomorrow has contributed to vital projects that protect Geoffroy’s cats in the wild. The GCWG focuses on habitat preservation, road safety initiatives, and education to raise awareness about these elusive felines.
One of our highlights includes raising funds during special events, such as the Geoffroy's Cat Conservation Paint Party, where a portion of proceeds went directly to the GCWG to aid conservation efforts. These efforts align perfectly with Tigers for Tomorrow’s mission to advocate for wildlife and preserve biodiversity.
Leadership in Conservation
Susan Steffens, the founder of Tigers for Tomorrow, actively serves as Vice Chair of the FCF’s Board of Directors. Her leadership ensures that Tigers for Tomorrow continues to engage with and support broader conservation efforts, including the FCF’s Geoffroy’s Cat Project.
The FCF has made remarkable strides in protecting Geoffroy’s cats, such as funding road signage projects to prevent vehicle strikes and supporting critical research through camera traps. These initiatives demonstrate the importance of collective action in wildlife conservation.
Third Annual Felid Fest: A Roaring Success for Wildcat Conservation!
The Third Annual Felid Fest, hosted at Big Cat Habitat, was an incredible event filled with passion, purpose, and dedication to wild feline conservation. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and supporters—along with the Feline Conservation Foundation (FCF)—a remarkable $37,000 was raised to support vital conservation efforts!
Felid Fest is more than just a gathering—it's a powerful opportunity to connect, educate, and inspire action for wildcat conservation. This year's event featured engaging guest speakers, networking opportunities, interactive activities, silent and live auctions, delicious food and drinks, and so much more.
Sue had an amazing time connecting with like-minded individuals, all united by a shared mission to protect and preserve wild feline species. Supporting FCF’s efforts was an honor, and we are thrilled to see the impact these funds will have on conservation projects worldwide.
Making a Difference for Wild Cats in the Wild
The funds raised at Felid Fest directly support the Feline Conservation Foundation’s mission to advance wildcat conservation through partnerships and innovation. These contributions fuel essential research, advocacy, and field projects dedicated to protecting felines in their natural habitats.
In 2024, FCF provided 30 trail cameras to Felinos do Pampa after devastating floods destroyed critical research equipment. These cameras are now actively monitoring and capturing valuable footage of Geoffroy’s cats (Leopardus geoffroyi), critically endangered Pampas cats (Leopardus munoai), and margays (Leopardus wiedii). This data is crucial for tracking populations, studying behaviors, and implementing conservation strategies in the Pampa biome.
Looking Ahead
Thanks to initiatives like Felid Fest, researchers can continue their work to study and protect these elusive wildcats. We are incredibly proud to see these efforts making a real impact and remain committed to supporting conservation projects around the world.

WILDLIFE Asia
Support Tiger Recovery
Tiger recovery in Karen State is part of a critical program to secure the remaining tiger population that remains in Karen State. With substantial habitat and a secure prey base still harboured in this region there is an opportunity for significant growth of the tiger population, greatly enhancing tiger conservation efforts across this region.
Second Chance Shelter
And of course Who doesn't love Dogs! Our favorite local no Kill Shelter. This husband and wife team does a great job of caring for and rehoming over 200 canines.
Second Chance Shelter is a 501(c) (3) non-profit, no-kill dog shelter and we obtain most of our dogs the day they are to be euthanized. We save their life and provide them with a temporary home until we find a forever home for them. We are currently at our maximum capacity and are unable to help more dogs until we find homes for the ones we have now. At Second Chance, we believe every dog has a story and every story deserves a happy ending!
