19. Golden Tabby Tiger
The Golden Tabby Tiger isn’t a species on its own, just a color variation of another breed of tiger. They are believe to be a result of captive breeding, but wild Golden Tigers have existed since around 1990.

18. Maltese Tiger
‘The Blue Tiger’, as the Maltese Tiger is also known, is so rare that it may already be extinct. They’ve been hunted for use in Chinese medicine for centuries, but we’re hoping some of these guys still exist!

17. Leopard Cat
The Leopard Cat’s colors can range anywhere from grey to a stunning red, and it’s their beauty that’s resulted in them being used for domestic breeding purposes.

10. Serval

9. Margay
Margays live their life in the trees, and have the ability to run headfirst down tree trunks and hang from branches by one leg. 14,000 of these cuties are killed each year just for their fur, decimating the Margay population.

8. Palla’s Cat
These cuties hang out in dark places like caves and between rocks, and come out in the late afternoon to hunt. Habitat destruction and hunting means there are less and less of these guys every day.

7. Iberian Lynx
The Iberian Lynx is thought to be the most endangered mammal in the world. When the myxomatosis virus spread through the Spanish rabbit population, the Iberian Lynx no longer had a reliable food source, and now the species number only 100.

6. Andean Mountain Cat
This is one of around 20 small wildcat species that still exist in the world. Because of the lack of knowledge about these small species, the budget for their conservation is minuscule compared to that of their large cousins.

3. Fishing Cat
Fishing Cats do everything that domestic cats don’t! They fish, they swim, and they love to live along rivers and wetlands. Unfortunately, so do humans, and the rapid degradation of the fishing cats’ homes has made them endangered.

The gorgeous cats used to roam around a massive area in Central Asia, the Middle East, and south into India. But because of habitat destruction and poaching there are now between only 70 and 110 of these guys left, and they’re confined to a small area in Iran.
