Small Cat Signature Project

The Cincinnati Zoo is one of the world’s leaders in small cat conservation through our research efforts at CREW, breeding programs in the Cat House, education initiatives with small felids and financial support for in situ projects.  The Cincinnati Zoo is also the only AZA-accredited institution that houses all five of the small cat SSP species. Explore our web pages to educate yourself about the extraordinary world of small cats and some of the ongoing efforts of CREW to broaden basic knowledge of small cat biology, connect captive and wild cat populations and conserve these imperiled small felids in their natural environment.
