 In the 20 years from 2000-2020, the group has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to in situ conservation efforts, with a focus on supporting the chronically underfunded small wild cat species.The group conducts a census of wild cat ownership periodically, using resources available through the Freedom of Information Act and information from surveys of its own membership.The group publishes information about this census on its web site and in its journal, and the group shares the methodology and information with outside sources to aid in confirming the data and improving the accuracy of future results.
