How does my donation help tigers & lions?

Your gift cares for tigers and lions rescued from circuses, roadside zoos and private ownership: £25 feeds a rescued tiger for a day, £45 funds a vet check, and £80 sponsors a month in a spacious sanctuary habitat.

Big cats rescued from entertainment can never go back to the wild — but they can live well. Sanctuary means space, proper diet and vet care for the rest of their lives.

Tiger rescue questions

Why can’t rescued tigers be released to the wild?

Captive-raised big cats lack hunting skills and fear of humans, so release would be fatal. Sanctuary care — about £80 a month — gives them space and proper care for life.
