Meet The Native Cats of Texas
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.

Individual Cats
There are five species of wild cats that currently or historically call Texas home: jaguars, mountain lions, bobcats, ocelots, and jaguarundis.

What do Texans believe about our mountain lion?
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.
