2018 was a year full of good times shared with new friends from all over the world, exciting times with the sucessful release of Jasmin the cheetah, new opportunities with the opening of the Cheeth Experience Vet Clinic, lots of love for all of our animal friends, elation at the return of Queen Fiela, education for all visitors, staff and volunteers, smiling everyday as we watch Bijoux and her cubs, and of course sadness and heartbreak with the loss of some very special furry friends... Although no longer physically with us they continue to join us on our journey in our hearts and minds...

There will always be bumps in the roads, mountains to climb and moments of joy, and we believe that every moment good and sad teaches us something that we can move forward with..

Our hope for 2019 is to see more cheetahs being sucessfully released into the wild, to educate more people about the animals in our care, to continue to spread joy, love, knowledge and awareness at every opportunity, as well as continuing to take positive strides forward in the conservation of the cheetah.

Thank you to all of our supporters, family and friends!

May the New Year bring you Faith, Hope and Love...

This project will allow us to turn food waste into compost, this is not only better for the environment, but we will also be able to sell excess compost to make a profit. Any money raised from selling compost can be used to buy more trees and materials to create shade for the animals.

Nikita in her den!

Wolves will make dens out of natural sources like digging a burrow. The Den will be used for things like shelter from harsh weather conditions, females will use it to hide her pups, or even hode their food away from other predators! Nikita loves to sleep in her Den as it keeps her warm during cold winter and cool during summer.

If you look carefully at Nova's paws you can see her claws out. One of the uses of the leopard's claws is to help them climb trees, it helps with better grip to drag their prey up in the tree or even just to rest peacefully away from danger.
