Texas Native Cats provides education, outreach, and advocacy for our wild native cats, so they endure for future generations of Texans.
Due to its sheer size and location, Texas is one of the most biologically diverse states. It has the second highest mammal diversity after California, including five current and historical wild cat species.
There are five species of wild cats that currently or historically call Texas home: jaguars, mountain lions, bobcats, ocelots, and jaguarundis.
Texas Native Cats partnered with Texas A&M University to poll residents to find out. Among many other results, survey participants overwhelmingly believe that efforts should be made to ensure the survival of this species in Texas.

We share the story of our cats with master naturalists, visitors to state parks, nature centers, libraries and universities, among others.
It is often said that understanding our natural world is the first step in conserving it for the future.
We believe that everyone has a role to play in conservation.
Your involvement can make a difference, helping to ensure these cats continue to grace our wild landscapes.
