There was a time when Tomas didn’t get to enjoy the full warmth of the sun’s rays when he was in a circus cage in Guatemala. After the country’s animal circus ban passed, Tomas was handed over to a zoo where he lived until they no longer had space for him. With just 25 minutes’ notice, we made room for him at the ADI Temporary Rescue Unit in Guatemala, and then flew him and 16 other lions and tigers to South Africa.

These days at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, Tomas enjoys the open skies and the sun on his back, together with his dear brother Kimba, in Avi Habitat. They are rarely apart ever since we reunited them. Click here to help Tomas and Kimba continue to thrive.

You can now adopt Tomas and Kimba and their sister Sasha as a family. For as little as $15/month (£10.50/month), you would be helping to provide the ongoing care they need. Adopt US $ | UK £
