Terrence Moore, 78, director of the Cat Survival Trust, was convicted of four charges of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal at St Albans Crown Court in May 2024.
The four animals were a male European wildcat called Hamish that had come from a zoo in Paris, a female Bengal cat named Jasmine, a jungle cat called Lily and a Caracal cat.
He was also banned from keeping animals for five years and found guilty of seven charges of using an animal species for commercial gain without a licence.
Three other cats had been rehomed at the Kent sanctuary, including Frank, the UK’s only Asian Golden Cat – Boson, a Fishing Cat – and Rhys, a Eurasian Lynx.
Visitors will be able to meet Blob for the first time during the sanctuary’s annual open days from 24 to 27 July and 31 July to 3 August.
