When ADI visited Kuwait Zoo to meet the lions rescued from the pet trade and needing homes, friendly Saif just wanted to be loved. He had a zest and hope for life in his eyes, excited about everything. Now, he has his whole life ahead of him in our place of loving kindness where he can play with his catnip sack until it is destroyed, move onto the teff hay insulation bales, and take them apart, too. He can do no wrong. We are looking forward to the day he gives voice when the sanctuary residents sing their morning and evening songs. Thank you for supporting dear Saif!

Special thanks to the ADI supporters who made this rescue and care for the lions possible; the Kuwait Zoo and officials for providing a safe haven; Leila & Bridges From Kuwait; Qatar Airways who got us home; Gas Boys of Virginia for the truck; and very special thanks to Dr Peter Caldwell and Old Chapel Veterinary Clinic, who went above and beyond.
