Earlier this year, you helped us rush critical support to our partner in South Africa, Panthera Africa Big Cat Sanctuary, after a fire all but destroyed their sanctuary. Some animals were left seriously injured and tragically, a tiger lost his life.
Now, the surviving animals – slowly healing from their trauma and wounds — are ready to return. More than anything, they need homes to come back to.
We promised Panthera Africa that we would help rebuild when the time came, and that time is now.
Can these animals count on you today?

Please help rebuild a sanctuary for big cats who survived abuse, exploitation and now wildfire.
After the destruction of the bulk of their infrastructure, Panthera is re-building eight night houses for the big cats in their care. These are designed to protect animals in changing weather conditions and, critically, will also be fire-proof.
These structures are especially important for older animals who need extra warmth during winter, which is rapidly approaching in South Africa. Many of the sanctuary’s lions and other cats are elderly, and warmth is vital to their well-being and comfort.
Every $4,500 (£3,500) raised builds a night-house for a precious rescued animal – an animal who has endured so much..

With your support now, we will transform this burnt, damaged big cat sanctuary into the haven the animals deserve in their twilight years. They are desperate to come home, but they need a home to come back to.
Fire destroyed their safe place, but it doesn’t have to destroy their future. With your help, the animals can return to the place they love. Please donate generously now.
