Ocelot Working Group 2025 Report and 2026 Plan

The successes of 2025—from the 460 dogs neutered to the 30 camera traps placed in the hands of beekeepers—are the result of a rare alchemy: "partnership, support, and trust." Under the leadership of Mariam Weston Flores, the Ocelot Working Group has proven that the future of the world’s small cats is not found in isolation, but in the community. Weston Flores has already extended an invitation for partners to visit these projects in person in 2026, a testament to the transparency and maturity of the group’s operations. As we look ahead, we are reminded that conservation is as much about the fences we build and the pets we care for as it is about the cats themselves. The question for us remains: How do we choose to live alongside the wild world in our own backyards? If 2025 taught us anything, it’s that the smallest cats—and our smallest actions—are exactly where the future begins. BIG CAT TV is a close look into the wild cat conservation efforts we support, and the exotic feline residents of Big Cat Rescue who we now support at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.
